Los Vergelitos

These are the little gardensEstos son los vergelitos
where we both enjoy ourselvesdonde los dos nos recreamos
now that we are aloneahora que estamos solitos

and pick the little gardensa cortar los vergelitos
from those beautiful plainsde a quellos hermosos llanos

my brunette sent me...mi morena me mando...
to a very distant citya una ciudad muy lejana
she asked me to bring her..me encargo que le trajera..
a German lettuceuna lechuga alemana
a French carnationun clavelito frances
and an American flowery una flor americana

on a steel railingen un barandal de acreo
the king of Rome strolledse paseaba el rey de roma
if they were justsi ellos fueran justicieros
they would imprison the one who adores himapresaria al que lo adora
and even set him freey asta lo libertaria
by the laws that exist nowpor las leyes que ay ahora
