La Rosita

The Little Rose

La Rosita

In a garden along the way, I found a roseEn un jardín del camino, una rosa me encontré
For its divine scent, I fell in love with itPor su aroma tan divino, yo de ella me enamore

By the roadside, I gave my whole soulA la vera del camino, toda el alma le entregue
It was all my affection, it was all my desireEra todo mi cariño, era todo mi querer

Crazy for her affection and love, for that womanY loco por su cariño y el amor, de esa mujer
I swear, like a child, I cried for her loveLes juro que como un niño, lloraba por su querer

To her little country house, one afternoon I approachedA su casita del campo, una tarde me acerque,
Because I loved her so much, but I didn't find her anymorePorque yo la amaba tanto, pero ya no la encontré

Since then I live in sadness, and that pain kills meDesde entonces vivo triste, y me mata ese dolor,
What will I do with this sorrow, what will I do without that loveQue haré yo con esta pena, que haré yo sin ese amor

I haven't lost hope, that one day I will see herNo he perdido la esperanza, de que un día yo la veré
But no one has seen her, nor do they know where she went.Pero ya nadie la ha visto, ni saben a donde fue.
