Letra del Vals Clavelito en flor

Clavelito en flor
Que con amor cuidé,
El sol para vos
Una caricia fue.

Rojo es tu color
Lo mismo que un rubí,
Mi clavelito en flor.

Vos sos para mí
Lo mismo que soy yo,
El primer amor
Que nunca se olvidó.

Siempre vive en mí
Aquella gran pasión,
Que alienta un corazón.

English lyrics of the Vals "Clavelito en flor"

Little blooming carnation
That I nurtured with love,
The sun for you
Was a gentle caress.

Red is your color
Just like a ruby,
My little blooming carnation.

You are for me
What I am to myself,
The first love
That was never forgotten.

Always alive in me
Is that great passion,
That breathes life into a heart.
