Los Laureles - Linda Ronstadt

!Ay, que laureles tan verdes!

!Que rosas tan encendidas!

Si piensas abandonarme mejor quitame la vida;

Alza los ojos a verme

Si no estas comprometido

Eres mata de algodon

Que vives en el capullo;

Ay, que tristeza me da

Cuando te llenas de orgullo

De ver a mi corazon

Enredado con el tuyo!

Eres rosa de castilla

Que solo en mayo se ve

Quisiera hacerte un invite

Pero la verda no se

Si tiene quien te lo evite

Mejor me separare

Por «ai» va la despedida

Chinito por tus quereres

La perdicion de los hombres

Son las benditas mujeres;

Y aqui se acaban cantando

Los versos de los laureles

Oh, what green laurels!

What bright roses!

If you think to abandon me better take my life;

raise your eyes to see me

If you are not committed

You are a cotton bush

That you live in the cocoon;

Oh, how sad it makes me

When you are filled with pride

to see my heart

Tangled up with yours!

you are rose of castile

That only in May is seen

I would like to invite you

But the truth I don't know

If you have someone to avoid you

I better separate

By «ai» goes the farewell

Chinito for your love

The downfall of men

They are the blessed women;

And here they end up singing

The verses of the laurels
