Aquí Te Traigo Una Rosa - 2001 Digital Remaster

Aquí te traigo una rosa
N'el campo la recogí,
La mata queó' llorando
Como lloro yo por ti.
Como que te fuiste,
Como que te'vai
Como que me quieres
Y no me querís na'.
Cuando a tu jardín entré
Tomé una rosa rosada
Y de a'entro le saqué
Tu persona retratada.
La rosa cuando abotona
Dicen que es malo tomarla
Pa' que parezca bonita
Más vale será dejarla.

Here I Bring You a Rose - 2001 Digital Remaster

Here I bring you a rose
I picked it in the field,
The plant was left weeping
Just like I weep for you.
As if you're gone,
As if you're leaving
As if you love me
But you don't love me at all.
When I entered your garden
I took a pink rose
And from within it I took out
Your portrayed image.
When the rose buds
They say it's bad to take it
To make it look pretty
It's better to leave it alone.
