Flor amorosa
Catulo da Paixão Cearense
Loving Flower
Loving flower, compassionate, sensitive, come, why?
You are a proud, presumptuous, so vain rose
Because look, the rose enjoys being kissed, it's a flower, it's a flower
Oh! I gave you a kiss, but forgive me, it was in vain, my love
In a perfumed coral cup
I see no harm in giving a kiss
It's a sign that I fell in love with you
Maybe in dreams I kissed you
If you could remove from my lips
One of your kisses, take it away by God
See if you can remove that reseda scent from me
Make my mouth bleed, it's a favor, come here!
You shouldn't insist anymore
I've asked, do you want more? Take the heart
Oh, have mercy on my sorrows, forgiveness
Yes or no? Yes or no?
Look, I'm kneeling
Kissing you, kissing your feet
Under your, under your, cruel eyes
If you don't want to forgive me
I won't give any kiss to anyone else
If yesterday you kissed a jasmine from your garden, to me, to me
Oh! Why do you swear, a thousand tortures?
A thousand sorrows, why do you swear?
My sinful heart doesn't see any fault in kissing you, doesn't see
Just for a kiss, a jest, so much shame
But why?
