Two gardenias for you / Dos gardenias para ti
With songs and poems expressing feeling, moods and thoughts.
Story behind the song
I
Many years ago I fell in love with a music of "Buena Vista social club",their style and virtuosity, simply the whole thing.For a long time I carried their CD with me averywhere.Than due to changes in my life I let it slip off my mind.The other day ,to my happiness,I came across their music again.I decided,that I comit a little piracy,but just to honor the memory of one of the great performer Ibrahim Ferrer.I wrote a score for the song he performed so beatifully,the famous "Dos gardenias para ti" and I also wrote an English version "Two gardenias just for you"..My Spanish is a bit rusty,but enough left to fallow the meaning of the originallyric.I take this as a project of appreciation of great musicians.I would be greatful for your feedback.Thanks Otto
Lyrics
Two gardenias just for you
Two gardenias just for you
with them I come to woo
to say I love you, adore you ,
you're my life
look how beautiful they are
fragrance breathing
from afar,
hope they’ll strive
Those gardenias are from me
like two lovers can't you see,
they’re kissing
but the kisses you gave me
seem only like a reverie
you’re here
but your mind’s missing
ref
Those two flowers live with you
speak to you too
the same as I’d do
I wonder if they care
if they share our little prayer
But as time is flying
those gardenias of my love are dying
same as I they need your love
that flew away like a little dove
the little dove is someone’s fling
ref
Those two flowers live with you
speak to you too
the same as I’d do
I wonder if they care
if they share our little prayer
How the hours and days can fly
the gardenias of my love ,they shell die
They were starved as I for your love
That flew far away like white dove
All left for me is to cry
