Dos Gardenias

Isolina Carrillo

Dos gardenias para ti
Con ellas quiero decir:
Te quiero, te adoro, mi vida
Ponles toda tu atención
Que seran tu corazón y el mio

Dos gardenias para ti
Que tendrán todo el calor de un beso
De esos besos que te dí
Y que jamás te encontrarán
En el calor de otro querer

A tu lado vivirán y se hablarán
Como cuando estás conmigo
Y hasta creerán que se diran:
Te quiero

Pero si un atardecer
Las gardenias de mi amor se mueren
Es porque han adivinado
Que tu amor me ha traicionado
Porque existe otro querer

Two gardenias for you
With them I mean to say
"I love you, I adore you, my love"
Give them all of your attention
Because they represent your heart and mine

Two gardenias for you
They will have the warmth of a kiss
Of one of those kisses I gave you
And that you'll never find
In the warmth of another lover

The flowers will live and will talk to you
Just as when you are with me
And you will believe
That they will actually say "I love you" to you

But if one afternoon
The gardenias of my love die
It's because they have guessed
That your love for me has withered
Because there's another lover
