Blancas Azucenas
Julio Jaramillo
White Lilies
I still keep the two white lilies
That you gave me when saying goodbye
Remember when you came to bid me farewell
My mother left us alone
Tears stumbled upon my lips
Giving me a bittersweet taste
So much passion!
So many love vows!
Left written in my heart
The silky petals are already withered
I still keep the two white lilies
That you gave me when saying goodbye
Only a few years have passed
From what I hear around
You no longer care about your last name
Listen to what a friend tells me
A friend who writes to me from there
They say they see you
Walking the streets of San Juan
With one of those guys from the valley boulevard
And they say
Even your own two sisters
Don't greet you when passing by
You walk without sound
Full of colors of passionflower
Arm in arm with any man around
I won't see you again
By the time you return
I still keep the two white lilies
That you gave me when saying goodbye
