Farolito de papel

In your groups I strung myself
and in your cooing I fell asleep
and I fell asleep
alone, duck... and made a fool of myself.
Tonight I found
the goodbye letter
on the pillow where yesterday
you swore eternal love to me.
Little paper lantern
you illuminated my bulín
with the friendly and faithful light
of loving berretín.
Another side you light up today,
you went out for me.
And here I am in the dark,
alone, duck... and a fool.

I'm alone...
I had nothing but you!...
Duck... because
you were my world of illusion!
I light again
the sad cigarette of yesterday
to relieve
this bitterness
that today you give me...

You are pretty, you have
you look fine... and you are a great person.
You promise a world
and without giving you say goodbye.
You adorn your costume
with my heart,
and those of others, that in passing
your reflection dazzled...
But, in the end, you are just
Paper Lantern
and one night in the best
scorched you will fall.
You will also bear your cross
when they know that you have
a lot of smoke and little light,
Paper Lantern...
