Y crecía aquella flor ................................ And that flower grew up
sin pensar en nada más ................................ with no other thought

♫ Éramos sólo dos niños, ................................ We were just two children,
mas tan grande nuestro amor ................................ but our love was so great
que los ángeles del cielo ................................ that the angels of heaven
nos cogieron envidia, ................................ went envying her and me,
pues no eran tan felices, ................................ because they weren't so happy,
ni siquiera la mitad, ................................ not even a half,

en aquel reino junto al mar. ................................ in that kingdom by the sea.

Por eso un viento partió ................................ That's why a wind came out
de una oscura nube a medianoche ................................ of a dark cloud at midnight
para helar el corazón ................................ to freeze the heart
de la hermosa Annabel Lee. ................................ of the beautiful Annabel Lee.
Luego vino a llevársela ................................ Then her highborn kinsman came
su noble parentela ................................ and bore her away
para encerrarla en un sepulcro ................................ to shut her up in a sepulchre
en aquel reino junto al mar. ................................ in that kingdom by the sea.

♫ No luce la luna ................................ The moon never beams
sin traérmela en sueños, ................................ without bringing me dreams of her,
ni brilla una estrella ................................ and neither a star brights

Y así paso la noche ................................ And so, all the night-tide,
acostado con ella. ................................ I lie down by her side
Mi querida hermosa, mi vida, mi esposa. ................................ My beautiful darling, my life, my bride.

Nuestro amor era más fuerte ................................ Our love was stronger

de las cosas de la vida. ................................ are wiser.
Y ni los ángeles del cielo ................................ And neither the angels in heaven above
ni los demonios del mar ................................ nor the demons down under the sea
separarán jamás mi alma ................................ can ever separate my soul
del alma de Annabel Lee. ................................ from Annabel Lee's soul.

No luce la luna ................................ The moon never beams

en un reino junto al mar, ................................ in a kingdom by the sea,
habitó una señorita ................................ there lived a maiden ♫
