En Una Canasta
Niña Pastori
In a Basket
In a basket
I sell my roses, I also carry lilies
for the beautiful girls
and I carry carnations
for those who fall in love
I sell jasmines
cousin of mine I sell
and poppies.
Your clean and pure gaze
was the one that spoke to me
wrote me a poem
about the essence of your love.
And I began to feel
in my heart a new beat
feeling of passion.
And in a basket
I sell my roses...
He asked me what I was carrying,
I carry my flowers for those who love each other
and he whispered to me with these words
if I buy one from you
you will be my beloved.
And in a basket...
With his lovely hands he placed a flower
in my loose hair and caressed it,
I kept looking at his handsome face
and his black little eyes were what captivated me.
If you want to make me fall in love
buy me a flower.
And in a basket...
