Spanish

Ayer planté un arbolito
al borde de mi destino
con el tiempo luminoso
era feliz y crecía
Pero un dí muy oscuro
yo veía que sus hojas doradas se marchitaban
doradas se marchitaban
su mundo de eterno sueño
en nada se convertía
pasaba el tiempo muy frágil
las noches y las mañanas
No era feliz con la brisa
que acariciaba sus hojas
todo parecía muy triste
el árbol se me moría
ese arbolito querido
el que guardaba mis sueños
ahora refleja mi vida
son extraños los misterios

English

Yesterday I planted a small tree
on the edge of my destiny
with the luminous time
it was happy and growing up
But a very dark day
I saw that its golden leaves withered
Its golden leaves withered
his world of eternal sleep
Became nothing
It spent very fragile time
nights and mornings
It was not happy with the breeze
that caressed its leaves
everything seemed very sad
the tree was dying to me
that little tree, my dear
the one who kept my dreams
now it reflects my life
Mysteries are strange
