Clavelitos

Little Carnations

Clavelitos

Young lady, give me the carnationMocita dame el clavel
Give me the carnation of your mouthDame el clavel de tu boca
That's not what you need for thatQue pa' eso no hay que tener
Not too much shame, not too littleMucha vergüenza ni poca
I will give you the bellYo te daré el cascabel
I promise you, girlTe lo prometo mocita
If you give me that honeySi tú me das esa miel
What do you have in your little mouth?Que llevas en la boquita

Carnations, carnationsClavelitos, clavelitos
Carnations of my heartClavelitos de mi corazón
I bring you carnationsYo te traigo clavelitos
Reddish like a strawberryColorados igual que un fresón
If one day carnationsSi algún día clavelitos
I won't be able to bring youNo lograra poderte traer
Don't think I don't love you anymoreNo te creas que ya no te quiero
It's just that I couldn't bring them to youEs que no te los pude traer

The afternoon that in half lightLa tarde que a media luz
I saw your little mouth so cherry redVi tu boquita tan guinda
I have not seen in Santa CruzYo no he visto en Sta. Cruz
Another prettier little mouthOtra boquita más linda
And then seeing the carnationY luego al ver el clavel
What were you wearing in your hair?Que llevabas en el pelo
Looking at him I thought I sawMirándolo creí ver
A little piece of heavenUn pedacito de cielo

Little carnations, little carnationsClavelitos, clavelitos
Carnations of my heartClavelitos de mi corazón
Today I bring you carnationsHoy te traigo clavelitos
Reddish like a strawberryColorados igual que un fresón
If one day carnationsSi algún día clavelitos
I won't be able to bring youNo lograra poderte traer
Don't think I don't love you anymoreNo te creas que ya no te quiero
It's just that I couldn't get them from youEs que no te los pude coger
