Flor Pálida

Pale Flower

Flor Pálida

I found a flower one day on the roadHallé una flor, un día, en el camino
That appeared withered and strippedQue apareció marchita y deshojada
Almost pale, drowned in a sighYa casi pálida, ahogada en un suspiro
I took it to my garden to care for itMe la llevé a mi jardín para cuidarla

That flower with sleeping petalsAquella flor de pétalos dormidos
Which I care for today with all my soulA la que cuido hoy con todo el alma
Regained the color it had lostRecuperó el color que había perdido
Because it found a caretaker to water itPorque encontró un cuidador que la regara

I started giving it a little loveLe fui poniendo un poquito de amor
I kept it warm in my soulLa fui abrigando en mi alma
And in the winter, I gave it warmthY en el invierno, le daba calor
So it wouldn't get damagedPara que no se dañara

Today I am the owner of that flowerDe aquella flor, hoy, el dueño soy yo
And I have promised to care for itY he prometido cuidarla
So that no one steals its colorPara que nadie le robe el color
So that it never goes awayPara que nunca se vaya

From that flower, many things emergedDe aquella flor, surgieron tantas cosas
Love was born that had already been lostNació el amor que ya se había perdido
And with the sunlight, the shadow disappearedY con la luz del Sol, se fue la sombra
And with the shadow, the distance and the forgetfulnessY con la sombra, la distancia y el olvido

I started giving it a little loveLe fui poniendo un poquito de amor
I kept it warm in my soulLa fui abrigando en mi alma
And in the winter, I gave it warmthY en el invierno, le daba calor
So it wouldn't get damagedPara que no se dañara

Today I am the owner of that flowerDe aquella flor, hoy, el dueño soy yo
And I have promised to care for itY he prometido cuidarla
So that it always stays close to mePara que siempre esté cerca de mí
So that it never goes awayPara que nunca se vaya
