Flor Marchita

Withered Flower

Flor Marchita

Yesterday you offered meAyer tú me ofrecías
To love me for a lifetimeQuererme toda la vida
You said that I would beDecías que yo seria

The queen of your heartLa reina de tu corazón
The owner of your great loveLa dueña de tu gran amor
Believing in your wordsCreída en tus palabras
I gave you my affectionTe entregue mi cariño

I was the most beautiful flowerEra la flor más hermosa
The prettiest in the gardenLa más bonita del jardín
Everyone wanted to pick meTodos querían cortarme

A treacherous guyUn cholito traicionero
Managed to cut me from my branchLogro cortar de mi rama
You will bloom in my chestFlorecerás en mi pecho
Oh, crying you told meAy llorando me decías

I didn't listen to my motherNo escuche a mi madre
When she told meCuando ella me decía
You will cry, you will sufferVas a llorar vas a sufrir

Forgetting her adviceOlvidando sus consejos
I left with my little loveMe fui yo con mi amorcito
Now that I am witheredAhora que estoy marchitada
You say you don't love me anymoreYa no te quiero me dices

If I have lost my beautySi he perdido mi hermosura
In your arms, guyEn tus brazos cholito
You might think I am lostPensaras que estoy perdida
Because you see me witheredPorque me ves marchitada

I will find another gardenerEncontraré otro jardinero
Who will cultivate me with careQue me cultive con cariño
My beauty will bloomFlorecerá mi hermosura
And then I will see you, fellow countrymanY ahí te veré paisanito
