Un rojo Rojo clavel

A Red Red Carnation

Un rojo Rojo clavel

Nobody knowsNadie sabe
Nobody knowsNadie sabe
Even though everyone wants to knowAunque todos lo quieren saber
Not the key, not the lockNi la clave, ni la llave
Of my when, my how, and whyDe mi cuando, mi como y porque
I like to be free just like the windMe gusta ser libre lo mismo que el viento
That moves the olive tree and laughs at the seaQue mueve el olivo y risa la mar
To get lost in the shadow of my thoughtsMeterme el la sombra de mi pensamiento
And then at night start to sing.Y luego de noche ponerme a cantar.

A carnation, a red, red carnation, a carnationUn clavel, un rojo, rojo clavel, un clavel
On the edge of my mouthA la orilla de mi boca
I take care of it like a crazy personCuide yo como una loca
Putting my life into itPoniendo mi vida en el
And the carnation, upon seeing you my loveY el clavel, al verte cariño mío
Has become so fierySe ha puesto tan encendido
That it's burning my skinQue esta quemando mi piel
It's become so fierySe ha puesto tan encendido
That it's burning my skinQue esta quemando mi piel
That it's burningQue esta quemando
That it's burning my skin.Que esta quemando mi piel.

Black hairNegro pelo
Black hairNegro pelo
That smells like mint and lemonQue tramina a menta y limón
Black eyesNegro ojos
Black jealousyNegro celos
First cousin of my heartPrimo hermano de mi corazón
I couldn't care less what people sayMe importa tres pito que diga la gente
That I come and go through the sandy shoreQue voy y que vengo por el arenal
That I have worn out the bridge's stoneQue tengo gastada la losa del puente
From crossing it so much in the early morning.De tanto cruzarlo por la madruga.

And the carnation, upon seeing you my loveY el clavel, al verte cariño mío
Has become so fierySe ha puesto tan encendido
That it's burning my skinQue esta quemando mi piel
It's become so fierySe ha puesto tan encendido
That it's burning my skinQue esta quemando mi piel
That it's burningQue esta quemando
That it's burning my skinQue esta quemando mi piel
