El Sauce Y La Palma
Valentín Elizalde
The Willow and the Palm Tree
The willow and the palm tree sway calmly
their leaves are dressed in a blue face
how beautiful and somber the willow and the palm tree
soul of my soul, how lovely you are.
At the edge of dawn, the mist is light
how beautiful is the sun that illuminates the earth
what great joy for the man who waits
for his faithful companion, the owner of his love.
The willow and the palm tree sway calmly
their leaves are dressed in a blue face
how beautiful and somber the willow and the palm tree
soul of my soul, how lovely you are.
How long the hours feel without seeing you
young lady of my soul, the owner of my love
why are you an angel descended from heaven
who gives comfort to my poor heart.
At the edge of dawn, the mist is light
how beautiful is the sun that illuminates the earth
what great joy for the man who waits
for his faithful companion, the owner of his love.
The willow and the palm tree sway calmly
their leaves are dressed in a blue face
how beautiful and somber the willow and the palm tree
soul of my soul, how lovely you are.
