La Clara Fuente
María Elena Walsh
The Clear Fountain
To the water of a fountain
One day I approached
Seeking the freshness
To quench my thirst
I loved you all my life
And I will never forget you
Underneath an oak tree
I dozed off afterwards
A nightingale sang
Accompanying me
I loved you all my life
And I will never forget you
At the top of a branch
It sang for pleasure
Oh, if only I had the soul
Of that nightingale
I loved you all my life
And I will never forget you
Someone no longer loves me
Because of a carnation
That always asked me
And I never cut
I loved you all my life
And I will never forget you
When the withered carnation
Blooms like yesterday
It will be possible then
For you to love me again
I loved you all my life
And I will never forget you
