When I Was a Flower

Cuando Era Flor

When I was a flowerCuando era flor
In love with the rain, I grew in the desertEnamorada de la lluvia fui a crecer en el desierto
A wildflowerUna flor silvestre
Doesn't bend to the wind, but fills it with her scentNo se doblega ante el viento más lo invade de su aroma
That promisesQue promete

PoppiesAmapolas
And more jasmineY más jazmines
And so many rosesY tantas rosas
Among the lilacsEntre las lilas

The flower that burnsLa flor que arde
Because she wants toPorque ella quiere
Because she can givePorque ella puede dar

The love (the love)El amor (el amor)
Of a flower (of a flower)De una flor (de una flor)
The love (the love)El amor (el amor)

When I was a flower (ah-ah-ah)Cuando era flor (ah-ah-ah)
A bud wishingUn capullo deseando
And only learned to give loveY solo aprendido a dar amor

With her rootsCon sus raíces
She clings to the ground, and even though it's no longer springElla se aferra a la tierra y aunque ya no es primavera
She looks so beautifulSe ve tan hermosa
While resisting abandonment, she just silences her beautyMientras resiste al abandono, solo calla su belleza
And keeps waitingY sigue esperando

For that rainAquella lluvia
That she longs forQue tanto quiere
That she missesQue tanto añora
That stormEsa tormenta
That doesn't respondQue no responde

And even though she’s started to shed her petalsY aunque ha empezado a deshojarse
She just wants a little bit ofElla solo quiere un poco de

The love (the love)El amor (el amor)
Of a flower (of a flower)De una flor (de una flor)
The love (the love)El amor (el amor)

When I was a flower (ah-ah-ah)Cuando era flor (ah-ah-ah)
A bud wishingUn capullo deseando
And only learned to give loveY solo aprendió a dar amor

LonelinessLa soledad
Has settled in like the sunSe ha instalado como el Sol
At noonA medio día

And even though I'm tiredY aunque estoy cansada
Beneath the concretePor debajo del concreto
I'm going to bloomVoy A florecer

The love (the love)El amor (el amor)
When I was a flower (of a flower)Cuando era flor (de una flor)
The love (the love)El amor (el amor)
Of that flowerDe aquella flor
