Lyrics
El viento sopla, que frio hace afuera
No más rechinan las casas de madera
Las hojas secas
Tapizan las veredas
Y a mí me siguen
Cubriendo nubes negras
El viento sopla y nada me consuela
Sin ti mi vida se acaba y ni te enteras
Mi alma flaquea
Quisiera que me vieras
Mi estampa es triste
Me tupe la tristeza
Las casas de madera
Parecen derrumbarse
Igual que yo se quejan
Desde que te marchaste
Las casas de madera
Se agrietan con el aire
Y a mí si no regresas
Un día van a enterrarme
Así era la casa de madera
Por la ranura del tablón
Cantaba el viento una melodía
Noma s llego el cemento
Ahora ya puro condominio de block
Pura varilla
Puro cuarto de tabique y tabicón
El viento sopla y nada me consuela
Sin ti mi vida se acaba y ni te enteras
Mi alma flaquea
Quisiera que me vieras
Mi estampa es triste
Me tupe la tristeza
Las casas de madera
Parecen derrumbarse
Igual que yo se quejan
Desde que te marchaste
(Gracias a Fernando Jara por esta letra)
Lyrics translation
The wind blows, it's cold outside
No more grinding wooden houses
Dried leaves
They line the sidewalks
And they follow me
Covering black clouds
The wind blows and nothing comforts me
Without you my life is over and you don't even know
My soul weakens
I wish you could see me
My picture is sad
I feel sad
Wooden houses
They seem to fall apart
Just like me they complain
Since you left
Wooden houses
They crack with air
And to me if you don't come back
One day they'll bury me
So was the wooden house
By the plank slot
The wind sang a melody
Just get the cement.
Now pure block condominium
Pure Rod
Pure partition and partition room
The wind blows and nothing comforts me
Without you my life is over and you don't even know
My soul weakens
I wish you could see me
My picture is sad
I feel sad
Wooden houses
They seem to fall apart
Just like me they complain
Since you left
