a)All souls nights translation
| Hogueras de las laderas rodeando, Las figuras de la danza alrededor y alrededor, Con los tambores que a pulso hacen eco en la oscuridad. Del movimiento con el sonido pagano. En algún lugar de la oculta memoria, Las imágenes flotan ante mis ojos. Con las fragantes noches de paja y hogueras, Bailando hasta el siguiente amanecer. Puedo ver las luces a distancia, El temblor en el manto oscuro de la noche, Las velas y los faroles están bailando, bailando, Un vals durante toda la noche de las almas. Las figuras de los tallos de maíz aparecen en las sombras, Elevando alto como las llamas saltando alto, El caballero verde posee el acebo, Para marcar el año viejo que pasa. (x2) Hogueras de las laderas rodeando, Las figuras de la danza alrededor y alrededor, Con los tambores que a pulso hacen eco en la oscuridad. Del movimiento con el sonido pagano. Permanentemente sobre el puente que cruza, El río que fluye hacia el mar, El viento está lleno de miles de voces, Que pasan entre el puente y yo. Puedo ver las luces a distancia, El temblor en el manto oscuro de la noche, Las velas y los faroles están bailando, bailando, Un vals durante toda la noche de las almas. Las figuras de los tallos de maíz aparecen en las sombras, Elevando alto como las llamas saltando alto, El caballero verde posee el acebo, Para marcar el año viejo que pasa. (x2)(estribillo/chorus)

It transmits me happiness, amusement as if you were in a town's party. Also it remembers me to the medieval epoch but of the songs that they were playing in the streets. Finally it transports me to my infancy, to the songs that my family sang to me when I was small and more little.
