La Flor Del Cardón

(Vidala)

I came from the hill carrying a flower,
Virgin of the Valley, I brought it for you,
so you can ease my pain
I will place it on your altar,
the cardon flower, the cardon flower.

From the summit of Real Chango,
I come to ask you to heal my ailment,
my coyita has left me,
perhaps to see me cry,
the cardon flower, the cardon flower.

My coca pouch, coca, and my flint,
I bring you everything, return that love to me.
Virgin of the Valley, I'm leaving,
it has already started to snow,
the cardon flower, the cardon flower.
