Lyrics of Capullito De Aleli - Caetano Veloso

Capullito De Aleli (original)

Lindo capullo de alelí,
Si tu supieras mi dolor,
Correspondieras a mi amor,
Y calmaras mi sufrir.
Porque tu sabes que sin ti La vida es nada para mi.
Tu bien lo sabes,
capullito de alelí.
No hay en el mundo para mi Otro capullo de alelí
Que yo le brinde mi pasión
Y que le de mi corazón.
Tu solo eres la mujer
A quien he dado mi querer
Y te brindé, lindo alelí
Fidelidad hasta morir
Por eso yo te canto a ti Lindo capullo de alelí.
Dame tu aroma seductor
Y un poquito de tu amor
Porque tu sabes que sin ti La vida es nada para mi Tu bien lo sabes, capullito de alelí.

(translation)

Pretty bud of wallflower,
If you knew my pain,
You would correspond to my love,
And you will calm my suffering.
Because you know that without you Life is nothing to me.
You know it well,
bud of halleli
There is not in the world for me Another asshole of halleli
That I give him my passion
And to give him my heart.
you are only the woman
To whom have I given my love
And I toasted you, cute hallel
Loyalty until death
That's why I sing to you Beautiful cocoon of halleli.
Give me your seductive scent
And a little bit of your love
Because you know that without you life is nothing to me. You know it very well, asshole of halleli.
