Flor Del Campo

Flower of the Field

Flor Del Campo

When for the first time my lips kissed yoursCuando por vez primera mis labios te besaron
Under the blooming trees that were so vibrantBajo los arrayales que estaban tan floridos
Some birds flew by, scattering their flowersUnas aves volaron, sus flores desgranaron
Falling like stars on your beloved shouldersCayendo como estrellas en tus hombros queridos

Do you remember the crystal-clear fountain?Te acuerdas de la fuente cristalina
The carob trees that filled the air with their scentLos algarrobos que perfumaban
With their flowers that are reddish at the edgesCon sus flores que al borde son rojizas
And the nests that hung thereY de los nidos que allí colgaban

In your curls, the flowers were suspendedEn tus risos quedaron las flores suspendidas
Forming a crown of white orange blossomsFormando una coronza de blancos azahares
So they crowned you, the lush treesAsí te coronaron los crespos arrayales
My beautiful girl, my pampered queenMi linda morinita, mi reina consentida

Little flower of the field, so dearFlorecita del campo tan querida
From that romance that my soul mournsDe aquel idilio que mi alma llora
Only the memory remains, little dollSolo queda el recuerdo muñequita
Of those honeyed kisses from your mouthDe aquellos besos miel de tu boca
