Flor Marchita

Ayer tú me ofrecías

Yesterday you offered me

Quererme toda la vida

To love me for a lifetime

Decías que yo seria

You said that I would be

La reina de tu corazón

The queen of your heart

La dueña de tu gran amor

The owner of your great love

Creída en tus palabras

Believing in your words

Te entregue mi cariño

I gave you my affection

Era la flor más hermosa

I was the most beautiful flower

La más bonita del jardín

The prettiest in the garden

Todos querían cortarme

Everyone wanted to cut me

Un cholito traicionero

A treacherous guy

Logro cortar de mi rama

Managed to cut me from my branch

Florecerás en mi pecho

You'll bloom in my chest

Ay llorando me decías

You said while crying

No escuche a mi madre

I didn't listen to my mother

Cuando ella me decía

When she told me

Vas a llorar vas a sufrir

You'll cry, you'll suffer

Olvidando sus consejos

Forgetting her advice

Me fui yo con mi amorcito

I left with my love

Ahora que estoy marchitada

Now that I'm withered

Ya no te quiero me dices

You say you don't love me anymore

Si he perdido mi hermosura

If I've lost my beauty

En tus brazos cholito

In your arms, my guy

Pensaras que estoy perdida

You'll think I'm lost

Porque me ves marchitada

Because you see me withered

Encontraré otro jardinero

I'll find another gardener

Que me cultive con cariño

Who will cultivate me with affection

Florecerá mi hermosura

My beauty will bloom

Y ahí te veré paisanito

And there, I'll see you, my fellow countryman
