lyrics

Al crepusculo, habia una sinfonia de pájaros,
y nosotros éramos el public embelesado.
Nosotros nunca habiamos oido musica tan harmosa
y nos conmovió a lagrimas.
Nosotros no sabíamos su idioma
así que nosotros no sabíamos
de lo que cantaron.
Los pájaros sabian lo que yo me negaba ver.
To estabas enamorada de otro.
Los pájaros cantaron mi canción de pena, mi canción.
Ellos lloraron y lloraron esa tarde.
Al crepusculo, lloramos cuando los pájaros cantaron una sinfonia
En el vestibule de los dioses Mayas.
Éramos el rey y la reina del reino,
Para quienes los pájaros cantan.
Ellos cantaron nuestra saga, el amor, Los triunfos, y la tragédia del fin.

English translation:
At dusk, there was a symphony of birds,
and we were the audience.
We had never heard such beautiful music
and we were moved to tears.

We did not know their language,
so we didn’t know what they were singing about.
The birds knew what I could not see.
You were in love with another.
The birds sang my song of sorrow, my song.

They cried and cried that day.
At dusk, we cried when the birds sang a symphony
in the hall of the Mayan gods.
We were the king and the queen, of the kingdom for whom the birds sang.
They sang of our saga, the love, the triumphs,
and the tragedy of the end.
