Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Silencio by Ibrahim Ferrer from Spanish to English.
Duermen en mi jardín
They sleep in my garden
Las blancas azucenas, los nardos y las rosas
The white lilies, the tuberoses, and the roses
Mi alma muy triste y pesarosa
My soul very sad and sorrowful
A las flores quiere ocultar su amargo dolor
Wants to hide its bitter pain from the flowers
Yo no quiero que las flores sepan
I don't want the flowers to know
Los tormentos que me da la vida
The torments that life gives me
Si supieran lo que estoy sufriendo
If they knew what I am suffering
Por mis penas llorarían también
They would cry for my sorrows too
Silencio, que están durmiendo
Silence, they are sleeping
Los nardos y las azucenas
The tuberoses and the lilies
No quiero que sepan mis penas
I don't want my sorrows to be known
Porque si me ven llorando morirán
Because if they see me crying, they will die
Que están durmiendo
They are sleeping
Y las azucenas
And the lilies
No quiero que sepan mis penas
I don't want my sorrows to be known
Porque si me ven llorando morirán
Because if they see me crying, they will die
Porque si me ven llorando morirán
Because if they see me crying, they will die
