Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Lirio Rojo by Carlos Vives from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Yo tenía mi lirio rojo
I had my red lily
Bien adornao
Well decorate
Con una rosita blanca
With a little white rose
Muy aparente
Very apparent
Pero se metió el verano
But summer came in
Y lo marchitao
And withered it
Por eso vivo llorando
That's why I live crying
Mi mala suerte
My bad lucky
Se marchitó mi lirio rojo
My red lily withered
Y fue por culpa del verano
And it was because of the summer
Por eso estoy desconsolado
That's why i'm heartbroken
Al ver que me dejó tan solo
Seeing that he left me so alone
Tan bonito blanco y rubio
So pretty white and blonde
Adornado con rositas
Adorned with roses
Pero se metió el verano
But summer came in
Y lo marchitó
And withered it
Por eso vivo llorando
That's why I live crying
Al verme sólito
Seeing me alone
Se marchitó mi lindo lirio
My pretty lily withered
Y mi blanca rosa
And my white rose
Tendré que soportar martirio
I will have to endure martyrdom
Y terribles cosas
And terrible things
Se marchitó mi lirio rojo
My red lily withered
Y fue por culpa del verano
And it was because of the summer
Por eso estoy desconsolado
That's why i'm heartbroken
Al ver que me dejó tan solo
Seeing that he left me so alone
