Al alva venid, buen amigo, al alva venid. Amigo, el que yo más quería, venid al alva del día. Al alva venid, buen amigo, al alva venid. Amigo, el que yo más amava, venid a la luz del alva. Al alva venid, buen amigo, al alva venid. Amigo, el que yo más quería, venid a la luz del día. Al alva venid, buen amigo, al alva, venid. Venid a la luz del día, non trayáys compañía. Al alva venid, buen amigo, al alva venid. Venid a la luz del alva, non traigáis gran compañia. Al alva venid, buen amigo, al alva venid.
Come at dawn my friend, come at dawn. Friend, the one I love best come at the first light of dawn. Come at dawn my friend, come at dawn. Friend, the one I love best come at the break of day. Come at dawn my friend, come at dawn. Friend whom I love best come at the break of day. Come at dawn my friend, come at dawn. Come at the first light of dawn but don't bring anyone. Come at dawn my friend, come at dawn. Come at the break of dawn, and don't bring a crowd. Come at dawn my friend, come at dawn.
