El Testamento De Amelia
Joan Manuel Serrat
Amelia's Testament
Amelia is sick, the daughter of the good king.
Counts come to see her. Counts and noble people. Oh, my heart withers like a bouquet of carnations. Daughter, my daughter, what ailment do you complain of? The ailment I have, mother, you know well. Oh, my heart withers like a bouquet of carnations. Daughter, my daughter, you will confess that. When you have confessed, you will make the will. Oh, my heart withers like a bouquet of carnations. I leave a castle to the poor so they may pray to God. Four to my brother Carlos. Two to the Mother of God. Oh, my heart withers like a bouquet of carnations. And to you, my mother, I leave my husband for you to have in your chamber as you have done for a long time. Oh, my heart withers like a bouquet of carnations.
