Translation

Al pie de un árbol viejo

At the foot of an old tree

Plantaron una rosa

They planted a rose

Y al ir pasando el tiempo

And as time passed by

Se puso muy hermosa

It became very beautiful

El árbol protegia

The tree protected

Con sus sombras a la planta

With its shadows the plant

Le convido su vida

It offered its life

Le convido de su alma

It offered from its soul

Pasaron muchos meses

Many months went by

Tal vez años no recuerdo

Perhaps years, I don't remember

Ella crecio bonita

She grew up beautifully

Pero el ya estaba enfermo

But he was already sick

El tiempo fue pasando

Time kept passing

Y el árbol ya sin hojas

And the tree without leaves

Le cortaron las ramas

They cut off its branches

Le cortaron las ramas

They cut off its branches

Y ya no le dio sombra

And it no longer gave shade


De aquel árbol tan grande

From that once large tree

Casi no queda nada

Almost nothing remains

Pero la planta sigue

But the plant continues

Al árbol aferrada

Clung to the tree

Segun pasan los días

As the days go by

Esa planta va rodeando

That plant is surrounding

Al árbol que esta triste

The tree that is sad

Y ya se va secando

And is already drying up


Los dos están unidos

They are both united

Mucho más por sus raices

Much more by their roots

Y el tiempo que les queda

And the time they have left

Pretenden ser felices

They intend to be happy

Aunque se muera el árbol

Even if the tree dies

Tal vez en este otoño

Perhaps in this autumn

A la planta bonita

For the beautiful plant

A la planta bonita

For the beautiful plant

Le vienen tres retoños

Three shoots are coming
