Las Margaritas

The Daisies

Las Margaritas

Next to the Paraná River the mockingbirds singJunto al Paraná cantan los sabías
In the little cliffs and among that greenery of light and colorEn las barranquitas y entre aquel verdor de luz y color
Little flowers are born, and the most beautiful ones that grow thereNacen florecitas y las más bonitas que crecen allí
Are the daisies that hide with blushSon las margaritas que se ocultan con rubor
Are the daisies that symbolize loveSon las margaritas que simbolizan amor

When the Sun declines, the evening light lights up little lightsCuando el Sol declina la luz vespertina prende lucecitas
And in that thicket, beautiful country girls go to chatY en aquel talar van a conversar lindas paisanitas
And they usually pluck the daisiesY a las margaritas suelen deshojarlas
Until they wither in their crazy frenzyHasta marchitarlas en su loco frenesí
To question them and ask for just a yesPara interrogarlas y pedirle solo un sí
