Clavelitos

Young lady, give me the carnation
Give me the carnation of your mouth
That's not what you need for that
Not too much shame, not too little
I will give you the bell
I promise you, girl
If you give me that honey
What do you have in your little mouth?

Carnations, carnations
Carnations of my heart
I bring you carnations
Reddish like a strawberry
If one day carnations
I won't be able to bring you
Don't think I don't love you anymore
It's just that I couldn't bring them to you

The afternoon that in half light
I saw your little mouth so cherry red
I have not seen in Santa Cruz
Another prettier little mouth
And then seeing the carnation
What were you wearing in your hair?
Looking at him I thought I saw
A little piece of heaven

Little carnations, little carnations
Carnations of my heart
Today I bring you carnations
Reddish like a strawberry
If one day carnations
I won't be able to bring you
Don't think I don't love you anymore
It's just that I couldn't get them from you
