Estribillo de Permiso

Oyendo tus pasos como pasan

los bailes de la vida,

y tú misma, y ella,

casi desapercibida,

salvada por sorpresas

de amores descalzos

que, sin conocerse ellos,

son como tú, son como ella.

Son tanto y tanto,

pues nunca son nada.

Ver original en español

Refrain on Leave

Hearing your paces

as the dances of light are pacing

and you yourself, and she,

all but unremarked,

saved by surprises

of barefoot loves

which, without their knowing one another

are like you, are like her.

They are so very much

since never are they nothing.
