Hallé una flor un día en el camino
I found a flower one day on the road
Que apareció marchita y deshojada
That appeared wilted and stripped of its leaves
Ya casi pálida, ahogada en un suspiro
Already almost pale, drowned in a sigh
Me la llevé a mi jardín para cuidarla
I took it to my garden to care for it
Aquella flor de pétalos dormidos
That flower with petals asleep
A la que cuido hoy con toda el alma
That I now cherish with all my soul
Recuperó el color que había perdido
It regained the color it had lost
Porque encontró un cuidador que la regara
Because it found a caretaker to water it
Le fui poniendo un poquito de amor
I gave it a little bit of love
La fui abrigando en mi alma
I wrapped it in my soul
Y en el invierno le daba calor
And in winter, I gave her warmth
Para que no se dañara
So that she wouldn't get hurt
De aquella flor hoy el dueño soy yo
I am now the owner of that flower
Y he prometido cuidarla
And I have promised to take care of her
Para que nadie le robe el color
So that no one steals her color
Para que nunca se vaya
So that she never goes away
De aquella flor surgieron tantas cosas
From that flower so many things arose
Nació el amor ya se había perdido
Love was born, it had been lost
Y con la luz del sol se fue la sombra
And with the sunlight, the shadow disappeared
Y con la sombra, la distancia y el olvido
And with the shadow, the distance and the forgetfulness
Le fui poniendo un poquito de amor
I started adding a little love to her
La fui abrigando en mi alma
I wrapped her up in my soul
Y en el invierno le daba calor
And in the winter I gave her warmth
Para que no se dañara
So she wouldn't get hurt
De aquella flor hoy el dueño soy yo
Today I'm the owner of that flower
Y he prometido cuidarla
And I've promised to take care of her
Para que siempre esté cerca de mí
So she will always be close to me
Para que nunca se vaya
So she never leaves
(Para que nunca se vaya)
(So she never leaves)
(Para que nunca se vaya)
(So she never leaves)
(Para que nunca se vaya)
(So that it never leaves)
(Para que nunca se vaya)
(So that it never leaves)
Le fui brindando cariño, un poquito de amor
I gave her affection, just a little bit of love
(Para que nunca se vaya)
(So that it never leaves)
Y en el invierno llenó mi jardín de color
And in the winter, she filled my garden with color
(Para que nunca se vaya)
(So that it never leaves)
Ay, cuando la vi, me enamoré y me la llevé, me la llevé
Oh, when I saw her, I fell in love and took her away, took her away
Ave María

Puerto Rico, ha, ha
