Tinc un clavell per tu [English translation]

I have a carnation for you,

For they have told me that you have a grief in your heart

And there's sadness in your eyes.

I was only walking by, I don't even know where I was going to,

But I think that...

I have a carnation for you;

If your heart is ill with love

Or your mind is weary of this world,

Or you find it difficult to see a single way out

And, in spite of it all...

[Chorus:]

Come on! Get up and rise, rise!

Open your eyes and rise above!

Get on the boat with your luggage

And remember that life belongs to you!

I have a carnation for you;

I know that maybe I am not minding my own business,

But a smile from you

Would turn me into a saint with all the miracles done,

And this is how...

I have a carnation for you.

Come on! Take it, then!

Why keep waiting any longer?

You see, time passes really quickly

And, in spite of it all...

[Chorus:]

Come on! Get up and rise, rise!

Open your eyes and rise above!

Get on the boat with your luggage

And remember that life belongs to you!

You have a carnation for me,

For at times, I have a grief in my heart

And there's sadness in my eyes

And it's so difficult to find a little light...

[Chorus:]

Come on! Get up and rise, rise!

Open your eyes and rise above!

Get on the boat with your luggage

And remember that life belongs to you!
