La clavelina
Rolando Alárcon
The Little Carnation
The little carnation in the garden
Even if it rains, it stays dry,
Clear and beautiful water
And a carnation that’s losing its petals.
A girl was running away,
Running away to avoid being a nun,
Clear and beautiful water
And a carnation that’s losing its petals.
I’ve run out of paper
I’m left writing on a single sheet,
Clear and beautiful water
And a carnation that’s losing its petals.
