Wildflower

Flor Silvestre

Wild and rural flowerFlor silvestre y campesina
Wild and natural flowerFlor silvestre y natural
No one believes you're a delicate flowerNadie te cree una flor fina
For living next to the prickly pearPor vivir junto al nopal.
You're not a rose, you're not a lilyNo eres rosa, no eres lírio
Much less a fleur-de-lisMucho menos flor de lís
Your perfume is my tormentTu perfume es mi martirio
And with it, you make me happyY con él me haces feliz.
Like you, my wild flowerComo tú mi flor silvestre
There was a love on earthHubo en la tierra un amor
It never knew luckNunca supo de la suerte
But a lot of painY sí mucho del dolor.
Wild flower, field flowerFlor silvestre, flor del campo
That adorns the thicketQue engalanas el zarzal
I offer you my songYo te brindo a tí mi canto
Little angelic flowerFlorecita angelical.

While you sleep on the groundMientras duermes en el suelo
The underbrush protects youTe protege el matorral
And the thistle and cornflowerY el cardillo y cornizuelo
Form your bridal fenceForman tu valla nupcial.

You have always been my hopeSiempre has sido mi esperanza
Beautiful spiritual flowerLinda flor espiritual
I have given you my trustYo te he dado mi confianza
Little flower of the thicketFlorecita del zarzal.
Only to you, my wildflower.Solo a ti mi flor silvestre.
