Clavelitos
Joselito
Lyrics
Translation
Mocita dame el clavel
Little miss, give me the carnation
Dame el clavel de tu boca
Give me the carnation from your mouth
Que pa' eso no hay que tener
Because for that, you don't need
Mucha vergüenza ni poca
Too much shame or too little
Yo te daré el cascabel
I will give you the little bell
Te lo prometo mocita
I promise you, little miss
Si tú me das esa miel
If you give me that honey
Que llevas en la boquita
That you carry in your little mouth
Clavelitos, clavelitos
Little carnations, little carnations
Clavelitos de mi corazón
Little carnations of my heart
Hoy te traigo clavelitos
Today I bring you little carnations
Colorados igual que un fresón
Red like a strawberry
Si algún día clavelitos
If someday little carnations
No lograra poderte traer
I couldn't manage to bring you
No te creas que ya no te quiero
Don't think that I no longer love you
Es que no te los pude traer
It's just that I couldn't bring them to you
La tarde que a media luz
The evening in half-light
Vi tu boquita tan guinda
When I saw your little cherry mouth
Yo no he visto en Sta. Cruz
I haven't seen in Santa Cruz
Otra boquita más linda
Another mouth more beautiful
Y luego al ver el clavel
And then, seeing the carnation
Que llevabas en el pelo
That you wore in your hair
Mirándolo creí ver
Looking at it, I thought I saw
Un pedacito de cielo
A little piece of heaven
Clavelitos, clavelitos
Little carnations, little carnations
Clavelitos de mi corazón
Little carnations of my heart
Hoy te traigo clavelitos
Today I bring you little carnations
Colorados igual que un fresón
Red like a strawberry
Si algún día clavelitos
If someday little carnations
No lograra poderte traer
I couldn't manage to bring you
No te creas que ya no te quiero
Don't think that I no longer love you
Es que no te los pude traer
It's just that I couldn't bring them to you
