La Jardinera [English translation]

In order to forget you

I'm going to cultivate the soil

I hope to find in it

Medicine for my sorrow

Here I will plant the rose bush

Of the thickiest thorns

I will have the wreath ready

For the moment you die inside me

For my sadness, Blue Violet

Small red carnation for my passion

And in order to know if he loves me back

I put off the petals of a big white chamomile

If he loves me a lot, a little or nothing at all

My heart will stay quiet

Little by little they will grow up

The cheerful pansies

Once they're already bloomed

Your memories will fly away

Of the Poppy's flower

I will be its best friend

I'll put it under my pillow

To sleep peacefully

For my sadness, Blue Violet

Small red carnation for my passion

And in order to know if he loves me back

I put off the petals of a big white chamomile

If he loves me a lot, a little or nothing at all

My heart will stay quiet

Lemon balm's sprout

When my sorrows increase

The flowers of my garden

Will be my nurses

And in case I'm absent

Before you regret it

You will inherit this flowers

Come to heal yourself with them

For my sadness, Blue Violet

Small red carnation for my passion

And in order to know if he loves me back

I put off the petals of a big white chamomile

If he loves me a lot, a little or nothing at all

My heart will stay quiet.
