Mi Princesita

Jasmine, gardenias and other flowers
They envy you because you are very pretty
Pearls and all ivories
Are opaque before you my little princess

You have in the black of your eyes
The glow that the night so longs for
Coral on your pretty red lips
Ivory on your white teeth

Chance envies perfume
That you carry in your mouth for breath
The Sun is jealous because it knows
That if you speak the wind is perfumed

The copy of venus never equals
The incomparable silhouette of your body
I love you and it is my last word
And I will be adoring you after death

Chance envies perfume
That you carry in your mouth for breath
The Sun is jealous because it knows
That if you speak the wind is perfumed
