Tres Flores

To three flowers that I saw in the gardens
I kissed their little mouths
Lily, Poppy, and Rose
Are my life, my love, and my being

To three flowers that I saw in the gardens
One of them is called Rose
That love only God can take away
God bless your name, woman

To three flowers that I saw in the gardens
One of them is called Lily
You are beautiful, pure, and good
Your name is precious, woman

To three flowers that I saw in the gardens
One of them is called Poppy
I saw her crying all alone
And I spoke to her with tenderness and love

Close, close those eyes for God
And do not look at me with them again
If one day you stopped loving me
I would die of sorrow and pain
