Buena Vista Social Club - Dos Gardenias - Two Gardenias
Dos gardenias para ti - two gardenias for you
con ellas quiero decir - with them (in hand), I want to say
te quiero, te adoro, mi vida - my life, I love you, I adore you
Ponles toda tu atencion - look after them well
porque son tu corazon y el mio - because they are your heart and mine
Dos gardenias para ti - two gardenias for you
que tendran todo el calor de un beso - that will have all the warmth of a kiss
de esos que te di - like the ones I gave you
y que jamas encontraras - and that you'll never find
en el calor de otro querer -warmth in another love
A tu lado viviran y te hablaran - they will bloom/live by your side and will speak to you
como cuando estas conmigo - just like when you're with me
y hasta creeras - and you'll even believe
que te diran te quiero - that they will say 'I love you'
Pero si un atardecer - but if during a sunset
las gardenias de mi amor se mueren - the gardenias of my love were to die
es porque han adivinado - is because they have figured out
que tu amor se ha marchitado - that your love has faded
porque existe otro querer - because there is a new love.
Dos gardenias para ti - two gardenias for you.
Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character.
