que tendran todo el calor de un beso.

y que jamas encontraras
and that you will never find
en el calor de otro querer.

Estribillo (Refrain)
A tu lado viviran

y te hablaran
and they will talk to you
como cuando estas conmigo.

Y hasta creeras
and you will even belive (think)
que te diran: te quiero.

Pero si un atardecer

las gardenias de mi amor, se mueren
the gardenias of my love die
es porque han adivinado

que tu amor se a terminado

porque existe otro querer.
because another love exists
