Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Dos Gardenias by Omara Portuondo from Spanish to English.
Dos gardenias para ti, con ellas quiero decir te quiero, te adoro, mi vida
Two gardenias for you, with them I want to say I love you, I adore you, my life
Ponles toda tu atención
Give them all your attention
que serán mi corazón y el tuyo
that will be my heart and yours
Dos gardenias para ti
Two gardenias for you
que tendrán todo el calor de un beso
that will have all the warmth of a kiss
de ese beso que te di y que jamás
of that kiss that I gave you and that never
te encontrarán en el calor de otro querer
They will find you in the heat of another love
A tu lado vivirán y te hablarán
They will live by your side and talk to you
como cuando estás conmigo
like when you are with me
y hasta creerás que te dirán te quiero
and you will even believe that they will tell you I love you
Pero si un atardecer
But if a sunset
las gardenias de mi amor se mueren
my love's gardenias are dying
es porque han adivinado
it's because they have guessed
que tu amor me ha traicionado
that your love has betrayed me
porque existe otro querer
because there is another want
A tu lado vivirán y te hablarán
They will live by your side and talk to you
como cuando estás conmigo
like when you are with me
y hasta creerás que te dirán te quiero
and you will even believe that they will tell you I love you
Pero si un atardecer
But if a sunset
las gardenias de mi amor se mueren
my love's gardenias are dying
es porque han adivinado
it's because they have guessed
que tu amor me ha traicionado
that your love has betrayed me
porque existe otro querer
because there is another want
