| Alguna | Some |
| cogió | grabbed, took |
| una voz | a voice |
| delante | in front |
| peinar | to comb |
| se habían callado | they had quieted |
| húmedos | moistened, wettened |
| hacía años | it's been years |
| no oía | didn't hear |
| solía cantar | used to sing |
| todavía | still, yet |
| descansase | rest |
| animar | to enliven, to encourage |
| Vendrás | You will come |
| se quedó | remained |
