when they are dancing, lai, la,cuando están bailando, lai, la,
doves flying, lai, la,palomas volando, lai, la,

in deserted fields, lai, la,en campos desiertos, lai, la,
riding the wind, lai, la,jineteando al viento, lai, la,
the wind, sir.al viento, señor.

all the women, lai, la,todas las mujeres, lai, la,
all yes, sir.todas sí, señor.
