| Sang a lullaby to a butterfly
| Canté una canción de cuna a una mariposa
|
| Child’s wide brown eyes, secrets inside
| Grandes ojos marrones de niño, secretos en el interior
|
| She said, «When I die, become a butterfly
| Ella dijo: «Cuando muera, conviértete en una mariposa
|
| You can flutter and colour in meadows and hills
| Puedes revolotear y colorear en prados y colinas.
|
| Beauty gave me the chills
| La belleza me dio escalofríos
|
| Flying on your own, then a thousand mourn
| Volando solo, luego mil lloran
|
| Thousand souls swarming, thousands were performing»
| Mil almas pululaban, miles actuaban»
|
| Bright white, emerald green
| Blanco brillante, verde esmeralda
|
| Silk blown, sailing seas
| Seda soplada, navegando mares
|
| And the spotted wings
| Y las alas manchadas
|
| Go, go blow in the wind
| Ve, ve sopla en el viento
|
| Bright white, emerald green
| Blanco brillante, verde esmeralda
|
| Silk blown, sailing seas
| Seda soplada, navegando mares
|
| And the spotted wing
| Y el ala manchada
|
| Go, go blow in the wind
| Ve, ve sopla en el viento
|
| Go, go, go, go blow in the wind
| Ve, ve, ve, ve sopla en el viento
|
| In their old house, from a lover’s mouth
| En su antigua casa, de boca de un amante
|

| He was fluttering, colouring meadows and hills
| Revoloteaba, coloreando praderas y cerros
