Ella y Yo [English translation]

Along the path of my life I came across a flower

that only by its delicious perfume inebriated me.

I could hardly enjoy its lovely scent when it vanished

like my soul, sad and lonely

and so is my love.

So as I wanted to perceive

all its fragrance and coiour

that the tears of my sad life would dry up

like the rose, like the fragrance, so she was

like the sadness and the tears, so am I.
