La Flor Del Olvido (o Alegres Eran Mis Ojos)
Alegres eran mis ojos
pero se quedaron tristes:
cuando menos lo pensaba.
de mi lado tu te fuiste.
Cultivaba una esperanza
pero no correspondiste.
Ay ay ay ay,
de mi lado tu te fuiste.
Ay ay ay ay,
pero se quedaron tristes.
Ingrato mal pagador,
tronco de todas las ramas,
ramas de todos los ojos
secas en una mañana.
Si lo hubiera presentido
yo no te entregara el alma.
Ay ay ay ay,
yo no te entregara el alma.
Ay ay ay ay,
tronco de todas las ramas.
Ay ay ay ay.
secas en una mañana.
The Flower of Forgetfulness (or My Eyes Were Happy)
My eyes were happy
but they stayed sad:
when I least expected it,
from my side you left.
I nurtured a hope
but you didn't reciprocate.
Oh oh oh oh,
from my side you left.
Oh oh oh oh,
but they stayed sad.
Ungrateful bad payer,
trunk of all branches,
branches of all eyes
dried up in one morning.
If I had sensed it
I wouldn't have given you my soul.
Oh oh oh oh,
I wouldn't have given you my soul.
Oh oh oh oh,
trunk of all branches.
Oh oh oh oh,
dried up in one morning.
