Cristina Branco "Lírios" lyrics

Translation to:en

Lírios

Não me dês rosasSe te peço líriosO aroma do lírio é bem diferenteE não te pedi rosas, meu amor,Pedi-te líriosDe um lilás ardenteE as rosas, sabes bem, são de outra cor...

Pedi-te líriosSó me trazes rosasNão quero rosas tontas de perfumeSó lírios roxosTristes como eu souComo o amargo aroma de ciúmeNo louco amor sem freio que te dou

Deste-me rosasE pedi-te líriosVê bem como são frágeis estas rosasVê como pendem prestes a murcharE os lírios que pedi não me desteFlorescem-me nas mãos para te dar

As rosas, sabes bem, são de outra cor...Dá-me líriosSó líriosMeu amor

Lilies

Do not give me rosesIf I ask you for liliesThe scent of the lily is quite differentAnd I didn't ask you for roses, my love,I asked you for liliesOf a glowing lilacAnd the roses, well you know, are of another colour…

I asked you for liliesBut you bring me rosesI don't want roses dizzy with perfumeJust purple liliesSad as I amAs the bitter aroma of jealousyIn the crazy love out of control that I give you

You gave me rosesAnd I asked you for liliesSee how fragile these roses areSee how they hang and quickly wiltAnd the lilies that I asked but you didn't give meThe bloom in my hands for me to give to you

The roses, well you know, are of another colour…Give me liliesOnly liliesMy love
