Como Nacio La Rosa

How the Rose Was Born

Como Nacio La Rosa

It seems to meMe lo parece a mí
Seeing her so graceful.Al verla tan airosa.
It had to be this wayTuvo que ser así
How the rose was born.Como nació la rosa.

An agreement between lovers.Un convenio entre amantes.
A secret affair.Un asunto secreto.
Two kindred soulsDos almas semejantes
Accepted the dareAceptaron el reto
To invent beautyDe inventar la belleza
With the old scriptCon el viejo libreto
Of great feats:De las grandes proezas:
Love in its entirety.El amor al completo.

They started one dayComenzaron un día
Sharing the pollen,Compartiéndose el polen,
And from that joyY de aquella alegría
Colors were bornNacieron los colores
And all the fragrances;Y todos los aromas;
The finest balms:Los bálsamos mejores:
A breeze of dovesUn aire de palomas
And all the flowers.Y el de todas las flores.

In love, passionately,Enamoradamente,
With a touch of tenderness,A golpe de ternura,
In love, passionatelyEnamoradamente
They carved the structureTallaron la estructura
And in love, passionatelyY enamoradamente
Fiery and joyful,Ardiente y jubilosa,
In love, passionately,Enamoradamente,
This is how the rose was born.Así nació la rosa.
Life keeps rollingLa vida va pasando
Handing out labels,Repartiendo etiquetas,
And even as it tumblesY aunque pase rodando
From flip to flip.De pirueta en pirueta.
As a form of baggageA modo de equipaje
Blooming and beautiful,Retoñada y hermosa,
In the middle of the journeyEn la mitad del viaje
The rose stays alive.Sigue viva la rosa.

It seems to meMe lo parece a mí
Seeing her so graceful.Al verla tan airosa.
It had to be this wayTuvo que ser así
How the rose was born.Como nació la rosa.
