Flor De Capomo Lyrics in English Carlos y José

Flor De Capomo is a playful serenade that transports us to a sun-kissed Mexican rancho, where a young man courts his trigueñita hermosa — a wheat-skinned beauty — with the same tenderness that a capomo tree cradles its blossoms. He marvels at how she is “linda vas creciendo” (growing lovelier every day), and compares her youthful bloom to the flower of the capomo, a beloved tree in many rural communities. The singer’s flirtation is lighthearted yet sincere: he teases, praises and daydreams about her, all while promising a proper visit to her home, respectful of family traditions.

Beyond its sweet compliments, the song captures the timeless ritual of Mexican rural courtship. The suitor imagines arriving “mañana o pasado,” politely accepting the chair her mother offers, and savoring a glass of wine that loosens his tongue so he can talk to his crush all evening. He urges her to “finje no mirarme” — pretend not to look at him — but secretly rejoice in his presence. With lively accordion and bajo sexto, Carlos y José wrap this simple love story in warm regional melodies, celebrating youthful affection, community customs and the thrill of first romance.
