The Yellow Rose of Texas [Spanish translation]

There's a yellow rose in Texas, I'm going there to see

No other fella knows her, nobody else but me

She cried so when I left her, it like to broke her heart

And if we ever meet again, we never more shall part

She's the sweetest rose of color this fellow ever knew

Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew

You may talk about your dearest maids and sing of Rosalee

But the Yellow Rose of Texas beats the belles of Tennessee

Where the Rio Grande is flowing and the stars are shining bright

We walked along the river on a quiet summer night

She said if you remember, we parted long ago

I promised to come back again, and not to leave her so

She's the sweetest rose of color this fellow ever knew

Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew

You may talk about your dearest maids and sing of Rosalee

But the Yellow Rose of Texas beats the belles of Tennessee

Oh I'm going back to find her, for my heart is full of woe

We'll sing the songs together we sang so long ago

I'll pick the banjo gaily and sing the songs of yore

And the Yellow Rose of Texas shall be mine forevermore

She's the sweetest rose of color this fellow ever knew

Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew

You may talk about your dearest maids and sing of Rosalee

But the Yellow Rose of Texas beats the belles of Tennessee.
