Lyrics

Español

Princesita rubia de marfil dueña de mi sueño juvenil, la que pregonando flores un día de abril, recuerdo por las calles de París. Una rosa roja para usted, roja como el ansia de querer, rosas y claveles blancos, blancos de ilusión y sigue la princesa su pregón. Un cariño y un clavel para el ojal, para el querer. El clavel es de ilusión, mi corazón rojo punzó. Y la tarde fue muriendo, y el pregón me va siguiendo. Un cariñito y un clavel, sólo el clavel, lo que quedó. Princesita rubia de marfil, dónde fue tu risa tan sutil, junto con tus flores muertas muere mi ilusión. Y escucho el eco tenue de tu voz. Es como un susurro sin cesar, que va despertando mi ansiedad, es mi fantasía loca que vuelve a soñar. De nuevo soy feliz con tu cantar.

English · machine translation

Little blond ivory princess owner of my youthful dream, who hawking flowers one day in April I remember through the streets of Paris. A red rose for you, red as the desire to love, roses and white carnations, white with illusion and the princess follows her proclamation. An affection and a carnation for the buttonhole, for love. The carnation is of illusion, my red heart is punctuated. And the afternoon was dying, and the proclamation follows me. A little love and a carnation, only the carnation, what's left. Little blond ivory princess, where did your subtle laughter go, along with your dead flowers my illusion dies. And I hear the faint echo of your voice. It's like a whisper without ceasing, that awakens my anxiety, it is my crazy fantasy that dreams again. Again I am happy with your singing.
