Verde [English translation]

Queen of the Moorish enclave

Don’t be sad like a tiger

Put on a dazzling smile

Like your early mornings

Pretty, princess, and coquettish

Crowned with daisies

Green,

Green hope,

Green wheat,

Green of abundance,

Green

Like a crocodile

Like Monteverde, emerald city,

Green because I like you green

Green desperation,

Green rebel,

Green nostalgia,

Green from the green pepper,

Green that causes pain,

Green that loses,

Green, because I liked you green

Green like the turtle and your eyes

Green like the snake and the moss

Like a cone of mint and palm

From a lazy bear

Beauty should be

Like one in green, green, green

Can be dressed

Beauty should have been

Like one in green, green, green

Could have been dressed

So much guilt that isn’t mine

Isn’t yours and isn’t mine

She changed taste, route, and rhyme

My mother doesn’t coddle me anymore

She changed image, guilt, and pain

Without thinking about sin
