The Flowers

Las Flores

OhAy
Come and tell me all those thingsVen y dime todas esas cosas
Invite me to sit next to youInvítame a sentarme junto a ti
I will listen to all your dreamsEscucharé todos tus sueños
In my earEn mi oído

And let me hold your handsY déjame estrechar tus manos
And give you a few illusionsY regalarte unas pocas ilusiones
Oh, come and tell me a storyAy, ven y cuéntame una historia
That makes me feel goodQue me haga sentir bien

I will listen to youYo te escucharé
With all the silence of the planetCon todo el silencio del planeta
And I will look into your eyesY miraré tus ojos
As if they were the last in this countryComo si fueran los últimos de este país

OhAy
Let me see how you bloomDéjame ver cómo es que floreces
With five petals I will absorb youCon cinco pétalos te absorberé
Five senses that steal youCinco sentidos que te roban
Just a little of your beingSolo un poco de tu ser

And six times to live youY seis veces para vivirte
Under the same MoonDebajo de una misma Luna
And nine more will pass toY otras nueve pasarán para
Feel that new flowers will bloomSentir que nuevas flores nacerán

And if each starY que cada estrella
Were a flowerFuese una flor
And so give youY así regalarte
A whole cluster of starsTodo un racimo de estrellas

Don't let it dawnNo dejes que amanezca
Don't let the night fallNo dejes que la noche caiga
Don't let the Sun riseNo dejes que el Sol salga
Just let me be with youSolo déjame estar junto a ti

Oh larara lararaAy larara larara
Oh lara oh lararaAy lara ay larara
When I'm in my excessesCuando estoy en mis excesos
With you in great emotionContigo en grande emoción
I would like with enchantments to tear out your heartQuisiera con embelesos arrancarte el corazón
Tear out your heart and eat it with kissesArrancarte el corazón y comérmelo a besos

Oh larara lararaAy larara larara
Oh lara oh lararaAy lara ay larara
I swear to you and promise youYo te juro y te prometo
As I have always loved youComo siempre te he querido
That if your love is completeQue si tu amor es completo
Fulfill what you promised meCúmpleme lo prometido
I don't want another dark-skinned personYo no quiero que otro prieto
To want what I have wantedQuiera lo que yo he querido

Oh larara lararaAy larara larara
Oh lara oh lararaAy lara ay larara
Oh larara lararaAy larara larara
Oh lara oh lararaAy lara ay larara

Ladybug, take away, take awayMariquita quita, quita
Take away my pain and sorrowQuítame dolor y pena
Under your shawlDebajo de tu rebozo
One spends a good nightSe pasa una noche buena
Good is the good memoryBuena es la buena memoria
Memory of the one who remembersMemoria del que se acuerda

He remembers San FranciscoSe acuerda de San Francisco
San Francisco is not EstebanSan Francisco no es Esteban
Esteban is not a saintEsteban no es ningún santo
Saint is the one who prays to himSanto es aquel que le reza
The Fathers pray MatinsRezan los Padres Maitines

The Matins are not completeLos Maitines no son completos
Complete will be the tricksCompletas serán las mañas
The tricks of a sorcererLas mañas de un hechicero
Sorcerer is the one who weavesHechicero es el que urde
The woman weaves her fabricUrde la mujer su tela

Fabric that of the good sieveTela la del buen cedazo
Sieve of flour and ropeCedazo de harina y cuerda
Rope that of the pigsCuerda la de los cochinos
The pigs eat grassLos cochinos tragan hierba
From the grass wheat growsDe la hierba nace el trigo
Wheat is what is sownEl trigo es el que se siembra

It is sown because it is customSe siembra porque es costumbre
Said an old man passing byDijo un viejito al pasar
And they threw him in the alumY lo echaron al alumbre
Because he didn't know how to TrovarPorque no supo Trovar
And they threw him in the alumY lo echaron al alumbre
Because he didn't know how to TrovarPorque no supo Trovar
