Silencio
Ibrahim Ferrer
Silence
Sleep in my garden
The tuberoses and roses, the white lilies
My soul, very sad and sorrowful
Wants to hide its bitter pain from the flowers
I don't want the flowers to know
The torments that life gives me
If they knew what I am suffering
They would cry for my sorrows too
Silence, they are sleeping
The tuberoses and lilies
I don't want my sorrows to be known
Because if they see me crying, they will die
Silence, they are sleeping
The tuberoses and lilies
I don't want my sorrows to be known
Because if they see me crying, they will die
