Si Las Flores Pudierian Hablar - Nelson Ned Cover
Here is a song that I bet is not on your radar.
Nelson Ned d'Ávila Pinto (2 March 1947 – 5 January 2014)
He was a Brazilian singer-songwriter that built a solid career as a singer and composer of sentimental, suffering songs, rising to popularity in Brazil and Latin America in 1969 and becoming known internationally, especially in Portugal, France and Spain.
When I heard this song in 1979 I knew that I just had to learn it. I sat down immediately and figured out the chords and wrote down the words.
Here is the translation for those of you who do not speak Spanish:
I've wanted to tell you for a long time, but I don't know
A sadness that in me, that I can no longer hide
I already wrote you in thousands of letters, my longing for your love
Without receiving an answer from you
A sadness that in me, that I can no longer hide
I already wrote you in thousands of letters, my longing for your love
Without receiving an answer from you
Well, today I’ve sent you these flowers, that I took from a garden
Hoping that you will think of me, just a little
Hoping that you will think of me, just a little
And if the flowers could talk and say that I love you
And if the roses could ask, if you could come to love me
And if the roses could tell you that I'm in love with you
I know that perhaps, you would answer me, and give me your heart
And if the roses could ask, if you could come to love me
And if the roses could tell you that I'm in love with you
I know that perhaps, you would answer me, and give me your heart
And who knows, that perhaps a miracle could happen?
And knowing, that I stole, almost a rose bush for you!
It may be, that perhaps, suddenly...
You will fall in love with me!
And knowing, that I stole, almost a rose bush for you!
It may be, that perhaps, suddenly...
You will fall in love with me!
