     La luvia kaye
     I en mis ojos se moja mi alma
     Kayendo vó tambyén en la melankolía
     De rekodrar momentos sin bivir
     Sonrizas sin riyir
     Lugares onde nunka me vó topar.

     The rain falls, and in my eyes my soul becomes wet, I am falling as well into melancholia, from remembering moments without living, smiles without laughing, places where I am never going to find myself.
