Guayabas Y Flores Lyrics in English by Monsieur Perine
Guayabas refers to 'guavas', a sweet and tropical fruit. It's a charming and somewhat uncommon word in song lyrics, evoking a sense of natural beauty and simplicity.
In the song, the line "Vamos recogiendo guayabas y flores" (Let's go picking guavas and flowers) paints a picture of a carefree, idyllic escape into nature. It suggests a return to simple pleasures and a connection with the earth, making it a delightful and memorable word.
"Guayabas Y Flores" is a slow walk that stays outdoors the whole time. Monsieur Perine opens it on "Vamos caminando con la luna llena" ["We're walking with the full moon"] and "Vamos recogiendo guayabas y flores" ["We're picking up guavas and flowers"], and lets the two people in the song do nothing more dramatic than move through the same warm night. "Vamos respirando el verde del monte" ["We're breathing the green of the mountain"] sits in there too, no metaphor attached, just the mountain itself.
Then the song says out loud what all that walking was for. "Quiero ser el querer" ["I want to be the love"], "Que nunca olvidarás" ["that you'll never forget"], and the lines right after explain why it has to happen now: "Y bésame sin afán" ["And kiss me without rush"], "Que mañana me iré y no me verás" ["for tomorrow I'll leave and you won't see me"], "Nunca más" ["ever again"]. It plays like a goodbye dressed up as a night together, unhurried on purpose because there's already an ending scheduled.
