Naranjo En Flor

She was softer than water
Softer than soft water
She was fresher than the river
Orange blossom
And on that summer street
Lost street
She left a piece of life
And she left

First you must know how to suffer
Then love, then leave
And finally walk without thought
Perfume of orange blossom
Empty promises of a love
That escaped in the wind

Then, what does the future matter
All my life is yesterday
That holds me in the past
Eternal and old youth
That has left me cowardly
Like a bird without light

What have my hands done to her?
What have they done
To leave so much pain in my chest
Pain of an old grove
Song from the corner
And with a piece of life
Orange blossom

First you must know how to suffer
Then love, then leave
And finally walk without thought
Perfume of orange blossom
Empty promises of a love
That escaped with the wind

Then, what does the future matter
All my life is yesterday
That holds me in the past
Eternal and old youth
That has left me cowardly
Like a bird without light
