El Rosal

The Rose Garden

El Rosal

I am not saddened by what I have already lostNo me causa pena lo que ya he perdido
But by what I think I could loseSi no lo que pienso que puedo perder
A love I had turned into oblivionUn amor que tuve se trocó en olvido
Today in that oblivion all my loveHoy en ese olvido todo mi querer

The rose garden of loves remained blooming with thornsEl rosal de amores se quedó florido de espinas
Oh, sweet thorns in bloom!¡Oh, dulces espinas en flor!
I will always keep its first oblivionConservaré siempre su primer olvido
As I have kept its first loveComo he conservado su primer amor
And my life will always be in bloomY será mi vida por siempre Florida

Of roses and thorns that do no harmDe rosas y espinas que no causen mal
Blessed sadness, equal to my lifeBendita tristeza, iguala mi vida
To the enchanting life of the roseA la encantadora vida del rosal
