Teresa

Teresa has a secret that she doesn't tell anyoneTiene un secreto Teresa que a nadie cuenta
And it must be a sad thing because everyone mournsY debe ser cosa triste pues todos lamentan
That her dark eyes don't shine as muchEl que sus ojos negros no brillen tanto
And that a tear escapes from time to timeY que se escape una lágrima de vez en cuando

Oh Teresa, my life, tell me the secretAy Teresa mi vida, dime el secreto
I won't tell anyone, I promise youYo no lo cuento a nadie, te lo prometo
And Teresa is carrying candlesY Teresa anda llevando velas
And she thinks that Saint Anthony doesn't console herY piensa que San Antonio no la consuela
I told her that the saint prefers rosesYo le he dicho que el santo prefiere rosas
Especially if they are carried by a beautiful girlSobre todo si las lleva una niña hermosa

Teresa is crying oceansQue Teresa anda llorando a mares
Locked in herself, she denies the keyEncerrada en sí misma niega la llave
And when someone lives cutting flowersY es que cuando alguien vive cortando flores
It's because they are undoubtedly suffering from love sicknessEs porque se sufre, sin duda, de mal de amores

Oh Teresa, my life, tell me the secretAy Teresa mi vida, dime el secreto
I won't tell anyone, I promise youYo no lo cuento a nadie, te lo prometo
And now it's Saint Anthony who is very sadY ahora es San Antonio quien está muy triste
As he doesn't want to be an image and insists to GodPues no quiere ser imagen y a Dios insiste
To perform a miracle, since his wishEn que le haga un milagro, ya que su deseo
Is to invite Teresa for a walkEs invitar a Teresa a dar un paseo

Nothing is known about her and her secretDe ella y su secreto nada se sabe
Only that one afternoon they saw her leaveSólo que una tarde la vieron marcharse
No one cuts her flowersNadie corta sus flores
And since that dayY desde aquel día
Antonio's nicheLa hornacina de Antonio
Antonio's nicheLa hornacina de Antonio
Antonio's niche is emptyLa hornacina de Antonio está vacía
