Yo Tenía Em Mi Jardin

I Had in My Garden

Yo Tenía Em Mi Jardin

I had in my gardenYo tenida en mi jardín
A very fragrant roseUna rosa muy fragante
Under seven locksDebajo de siete llaves
A giant stole it from meMe la ha roba’o un gigante

Beautiful garden of flowersBonito el jardín de flores
That finally witheredQue se me secaron por fin
Even though I watered them with tearsAunque con llanto las riegué
I can't revive themYo no las pue’o revivir

A very skilled hawkUn gavilán muy caza’or
That has stolen my deityQue se ha roba’o mi deidad
Under seven locksDebajo de siete llaves
And with such easeY con tanta facili’á’

The rays of the sun came outLos rayos del Sol salieron
To oppose meA querérseme oponer
And in my garden they will soonY en mi jardín ya no tardan
Choose the flowersLas flores ha de escoger

I wish to dress myselfQuisiera vestirme yo
In a butterfly suitCon traje de mariposa
To enter my gardenPara dentrarme a mi jardín
And take care of my roseY poder cuidar mi rosa
