Esta es la casa (This is the house)
Este es el cerro (This is the hill)
Esta es la historia (This is the story)
Es algo chiquitito (It's a little thing)

This is the house
This is the hill
This is the story, it's a little thing
A lock of hair
An invisible smoke trail
Nothing there but the dust and the rust
Oh, oh, oh everything changes

This is your picture (it's in black and white)
This is the family having a party
There's a crack in the ceiling
And there's an open door
Nothing there but the dust and the rust
Oh, oh, oh everything changes
