Translation of the song lyrics Dos Gardenias - Ángel Canales

Dos Gardenias (original)

Dos gardenias para ti…
con ellas quiero decir
te quiero, mi vida, cariño.
ponle toda tu atencion
que seran de tu corazon y el mio
Dos gardenias para ti.
que tendran todo el calor. de un beso
de esos besos que te di,
y que jamas encontraras,
en el calor de otro querer…
a tu lado viviran,
y te hablaran,
hay como cuando tu estas conmigo
y hasta creras. que te diran
mami te quiero.
pero si un aterdecer
las gardenias de mi amor
ay. se mueren.
sera porque han adivinado
que tu amor me ha traisionado
porque existe otro querer
pero si un aterdecer
las gardenias de mi amor
ay. se mueren.
sera porque han adivinado
que tu amor me ha traisionado
porque existe otro querer
porque existe otro querer (bis)

Dos Gardenias (translation)

Two gardenias I bring to you—
through their pallid speech I confess
my love, my soul’s delight, my dear.
Weave your gaze around them wholly,
for they will be the twin pulse of your heart and mine.
Two gardenias I bring to you.
They will cradle the warmth of a kiss, distilled—
the kind of kiss I once bestowed,
whose echo you shall never trace,
within the fevered hush of another’s arms…
They will dwell at your side,
and will whisper to you—
ah, like the hush when you are near me—
and you will almost believe they murmur
my love for you, as if breathed by the dusk.
But should some twilight hour descend,
when the gardenias of my love
ah, begin to wither—
perhaps it is because they have divined
that your love has turned traitor to mine,
because another flame glimmers in your world.
But should some twilight hour descend,
when the gardenias of my love
ah, begin to wither—
perhaps it is because they have divined
that your love has turned traitor to mine,
because another flame glimmers in your world,
because another flame glimmers in your world.
