Se abren las flores nocturnas de quinta avenida
Fifth Avenue night flowers open
Para esos pobres señores que van al hotel
For those poor gentlemen who go to the hotel
Flores que rompen en la oscuridad
Flowers that break in the dark
Flores de guiños de complicidad
Flowers of complicity winks
Flores silbando suicidios
Flowers whistling suicides
Flores de aroma fatal
fatal-scented flowers
Qué jardinero ha sembrado la quinta avenida
What gardener has planted fifth avenue
Con variedad tan precisa de nocturnidad
With such a precise variety of nocturnality
Cuál es su especie y cuál su país
What is his species and what is his country?
Qué fino abono nutrió su raíz
What fine fertilizer nourished its root
Dándoles tono silvestre
Giving them wild tone
Dónde estará su matriz
Where will your matrix be?
Flores que cruzan las puertas prohibidas
Flowers that cross the forbidden doors
Flores que saben lo que no sabré
Flowers that know what I won't know
Flores que ensartan su sueño de vida
Flowers that string your life dream
En guirnaldas sin fe
In faithless garlands
Flores de sábanas con ojos
sheet flowers with eyes
Flores desechables
disposable flowers
Campanillas del antojo
craving bells
Flores comiendo sobras del amor
Flowers eating leftovers of love
Brotan, rebotan, explotan por quinta avenida
They sprout, they bounce, they blast down fifth avenue
Son arrancadas y parten con aire veloz
They are uprooted and depart with swift air
Dicen que es duro el oficio de flor
They say that the flower trade is hard
Cuando sus pétalos se ajan al sol
When its petals wither in the sun
Pálidas flores nocturnas
pale night flowers
Flores de la decepción
flowers of disappointment
