Bugambilia

Bougainvillea

Bugambilia

Purple flowers jump out of the bougainvilleaFlores moradas saltan de la bugambilia
Surely it was because they saw me cryingSeguramente fue porque me vieron llorar
And as they fall they caress my cheeksY mientras caen acarician mis mejillas
Such a pity suicidal they just wanted to kiss mePobres suicidas solo me querían besar

And dance slowly purple flowerY baila lento flor morada
You remind me of my loverQue me recuerdas a mi amada
She's waiting for me at homeElla me está esperando en casa
And I'm dying to returnY yo muriendo por volver

Life is just like that purple flowerAsí es la vida flor morada
Sometime it's evilA veces suele ser malvada
You're in love with meTú de mí estás enamorada
And I'm dying to returnY yo muriendo por volver

Dying to return!¡Muriendo por volver!
Dying to return!¡Muriendo por volver!

(The world is that)(El mundo es eso)
(A lot of people)(Un montón de gente)
(A sea of little flames)(Un mar de fueguitos)
(There are no)(No hay)
(There are no two identical flames)(No hay dos fuegos iguales)

Seeds fall and I plant with my two feetCaen semillas que planto con mis dos pies
As bougainvilleas grownMientras crecen bugambilias
My pupils rain on and on againLlueven mis pupilas una y otra vez
And as they dance they decorate my skinY mientras bailan van adornando mi piel

I better fall back to sleepMejor me duermo otro rato
So I can see you againPara poder verte otra vez
And dance slowly purple flowerY baila lento, flor morada
You remind me of my lover¡Que me recuerdas a mi amada!
She's waiting for me at homeElla me está esperando en casa
And I'm dying to returnY yo muriendo por volver

Life is just like that purple flower!¡Así es la vida flor morada!
Sometimes it's evilA veces suele ser malvada
You're in love with meTú de mí estás enamorada
And I'm dying to returnY yo muriendo por volver

Dying to return!¡Muriendo por volver!
Dying to return!¡Muriendo por volver!

Oh! My heartAy, corazón
I'm dying to returnMe muero por volver
Take me awayLlévame de acá
Take me away!¡Llévame de acá!
