Lírios [English translation]
Do not give me roses
If I ask you for lilies
The scent of the lily is quite different
And I didn't ask you for roses, my love,
I asked you for lilies
Of a glowing lilac
And the roses, well you know, are of another colour…
I asked you for lilies
But you bring me roses
I don't want roses dizzy with perfume
Just purple lilies
Sad as I am
As the bitter aroma of jealousy
In the crazy love out of control that I give you
You gave me roses
And I asked you for lilies
See how fragile these roses are
See how they hang and quickly wilt
And the lilies that I asked but you didn't give me
The bloom in my hands for me to give to you
The roses, well you know, are of another colour…
Give me lilies
Only lilies
My love
