[English]

One morning, one beautiful morning

Like a flower, your heart will show itself to the sun

One morning, one beautiful morning

My heart, like a flower, will give itself to you

It’ll be beautiful when you tell me you believe in my love

When you say you feel no fear, and when the sun rises, it will be

One morning, one beautiful morning

Like the flower, like the love I’ll always give you

Like a flower, your heart will show itself to the sun

My heart, like a flower, will give itself to you

It’ll be beautiful when you tell me you believe in my love

When you say you feel no fear, and when the sun rises, it will be

One morning, one beautiful morning

Like the flower, like the love I’ll always give you

That I’ll always give you

That I’ll always give you

...

Una mañana, una mañana linda

Como una flor tu corazón al sol le mostrarás

Una mañana, una mañana linda

Mi corazón como una flor a ti se entregará

Linda será cuando me digas creo en tu amor

Me digas que no sientes temor y cuando salga el sol será

Una mañana, una mañana linda

Como la flor, como el amor que siempre te daré

Como una flor tu corazón al sol le mostrarás

Mi corazón como una flor a ti se entregará

Linda será cuando me digas creo en tu amor

Me digas que no sientes temor y cuando salga el sol será

Una mañana, una mañana linda

Como la flor, como el amor que siempre te daré

Que siempre te daré

Que siempre te daré

• Como una flor tu corazón al sol le mostrarás

  ➔ Simile, indirect object pronoun, future tense

  ➔ The sentence uses a simile ('Como una flor') to compare the heart to a flower. 'Tu corazón' is the indirect object, and 'le mostrarás' (you will show it) is in the future tense.

• Mi corazón como una flor a ti se entregará

• Linda será cuando me digas creo en tu amor
