Gardenia

Two Gardenias for you
With these I mean to say:
I love, I adore you, my life
Look after them because
They are your heart and mine.

Two Gardenias for you
With all the warmth of a kiss
Like those I gave to you
Kisses that you will never know
In the embrace of another.

They will live beside you
And talk to you as I do
And you will even believe, that you hear
them say: `I love you´.
But if one late evening
The Gardenia should die
It´s because they know
That you have betrayed me
And that you love another.

(Classic bolero)
