Dos Gardenias
Ibrahim Ferrer
Two Gardenias
Two gardenias for you
with them I want to say
I love you, I adore you, my life.
Put all your attention on them
because they are your heart and mine.
Two gardenias for you
that will have all the warmth of a kiss
like the ones I gave you
and that you will never find
in the warmth of another love.
By your side they will live and speak to you
as if you were with me
and you will even believe
that they will say I love you.
But if one evening
the gardenias of my love die
it is because they have guessed
that your love has withered
because there is another love.
Two gardenias...for you.
