Tender As a Rose

Tan tierna como una rosa

Tender As a Rose

Ella era tan tierna como una rosaShe was as tender as a rose
Ella era tan suave como plumas de nieveShe was as soft as snowy down
Y de la cabeza a los piesAnd from her head down to her toes
Ella era un sueño que perdurabaShe was a dream that hung around

Ella era tan fresca como abrilShe was as fresh as april
Cálida como mayoWarm as may
Y todos los chicos entregaban sus corazonesAnd all the fellas threw their hearts away
Pero todo su amor era de Joe, ella era tan tierna como una rosaBut all of her lovin was joe's she was as tender as a rose

Supongo que Joe estaba bastante enfermoI guess that joe was pretty sick
Sus sentimientos pasaban de frío a calienteHis feelings went from cold to hot
Su amor por él era solo un caprichoHer love to him was just a kick
Su ego la necesitaba muchoHis ego needed her a lot

Y cuando se la llevó, ella sonreíaAnd when he took her away she wore a smile
El destino cruzaba los dedos por esa encantadora niñaFate crossed it's fingers for that lovely child
Porque todo su amor era de JoeCause all of her lovin' was joe's
Ella era tan tierna como una rosaShe was as tender as a rose

Ella regresó caminando completamente solaShe came back walking all alone
No se había ido por mucho tiempoShe wasn't gone for very long
Regresó con un corazón de piedraShe came back with a heart of stone
Sabíamos que todo había salido malWe knew that everything had gone wrong

Y cuando le preguntas por qué sale cada nocheAnd when you ask her why she's out each night
Ella dirá: 'Hermano, una vez intenté hacer lo correcto'She'll say, "brother, once i tried to be right
Una vez todo mi amor era de JoeOnce all of my loving was joe's
Yo era tan tierna como una rosaI was as tender as a rose."
Ella era tan tierna como una rosaShe was as tender as a rose
