La Flor de La Verbena

The Verbena Flower

La Flor de La Verbena

I like ValparaísoMe gusta valparaíso
And the verbena flower, oh dark-skinned girlY la flor de la verbena, ay morena
And the verbena flower, oh dark-skinned girlY la flor de la verbena, ay morena
I like your little eyes moreMe gustan más tus ojitos
Than the Chilean flag, oh dark-skinned girlQue la bandera chilena, ay morena
I like Valparaíso, oh dark-skinned girlMe gusta valparaíso, ay morena

When I went to the portCuando me fui pa'l' puerto
I arrived singingLlegué cantando
Now when saying goodbyeAhora al despedirme
I leave crying, oh dark-skinned girlMe voy llorando, ay morena
When I went to the portCuando me fui pa'l' puerto
I arrived singing, oh dark-skinned girlLlegué cantando, ay morena

I'm leaving cryingMe voy llorando si
Because in BarónPorque en Barón
I will leave behind the memoriesDejaré los recuerdos
Of a great love, oh dark-skinned girlDe un gran amor, ay morena

My heart brokeMi corazón deshizo
