En El Jardín
India Martinez
In the Garden
A white dove
Like the snow, like the snow
The other afternoon it came down to the river
To bathe, oh, and it wants
Oh, I have to make a rosary
With your ivory tooth
So I can kiss it
When I'm far from here
On its divine beads
Made of spikenard and jasmine
I will pray for protection
For the one who's in San Gil
Goodbye my beloved Spain
I still carry you deep in my soul
Even though I'm an immigrant
I could never forget you in my life
Oh
By your side, by your side
Always right by your side
Always right by your side
Even if I die from jealousy
And they can stab with daggers
Oh, they can cross scissors, olé, come on
And they can cover with salt
The bricks of your door
Yesterday, today, tomorrow, and always
Eternally by your side
Eternally by your side
For no reason and no rhyme
I made it a joke one day
For no reason and rhyme
Forgive me, my mother
Now I understand
What you suffered with me
