Lyrics
En mi cuidado jardn
Esbelto, altivo y gallardo,
Floreci un silvestre cardo,
Con sus penachos de tul;
Y el roco con su manto
Que de perlas pareca,
Al amanecer cubra
Las hebras del cardo azul.
Pero el beso de la aurora
Que el sol radiante le enviaba,
Con sus besos desfloraba
Aquel manto de arrebol;
En finsimas lloviznas
Caan las perlas al suelo,
Y tan azul como el cielo,
Quedaba otra vez la flor.
Ya no muestras a la aurora
El jopel de tu hermosura,
Ya no encanta la frescura
De tus penachos de tul;
Y al mirarte marchitado
Sin candor y sin esencia,
Ya no halagas mi existencia
Pobrecito cardo azul.
Lyrics translation
In my garden care
Slender, haughty and Gallant,
I blossomed a wild Thistle,
With its tulle plumes;
And the rock with its mantle
What pearls it looks like,
At dawn cover
The strands of the blue thistle.
But the kiss of the dawn
That the radiant sun sent him,
With her kisses she blossomed
That robe of Rapture;
In finsimas driveways
Pearls fall to the ground,
And as blue as the sky,
There was the flower again.
You no longer show The aurora
The jopel of your beauty,
He no longer loves freshness
Of your tulle plumes;
And looking at you withered
Without candor and without essence,
You no longer flatter my existence
Poor little blue thistle.
