Tres Claveles y Un Rosal
Juan GabrielLyrics
Translation
Las puertas del panteón, se abrieron de par en par
The doors of the cemetery, swung wide open
Sepultaron a mi amor, jure, no volver a amar
They buried my love, I swore not to love again
Hasta la tumba llegue, donde hoy descansa en paz
I reached the tomb where he rests in peace
Y en su tumba le deje, tres claveles y un rosal
And on his grave, I left three carnations and a rosebush
Con lágrimas en mis ojos, en su tumba deje escrito
With tears in my eyes, I wrote on his tomb
Los claveles son tú amor, y el rosal es tu olvido
The carnations represent your love, and the rosebush is your forgetting
Salí del triste panteón, vi la tumba abandonada
I left the sad cemetery, saw the abandoned tomb
Dios mío guárdame su amor, Dios mío recoge su alma
My God, keep his love for me, my God, take his soul
Se me olvido mi pañuelo, cuando regrese por el
I forgot my handkerchief when I returned for it
Vi que en la cruz escribía, nunca te olvidaré
I saw that on the cross he wrote, 'I will never forget you'
Y me incliné, recogí el pañuelo, que olvidaba yo
And I bent down, picked up the handkerchief that I had forgotten
Y los claveles mire, los claveles mire
And I saw the carnations, I saw the carnations
Pero el rosal, ya no estaba
But the rosebush was no longer there
