Amapola - Natalie Cole and Others

(De amor, en los hierros de tu reja
De amor, eschuché la triste queja
De amor, que solo en mi corazón
diciendome así con su dulce canción) 

Amapola, lindisima amapola
Será siempre mi alma tuya sola

Yo te quiero, amada Nina mia
Igual que ama la flor la luz del día

Amapola, lindisima amapola
No seas tan ingrate y amame

Amapola, amapola
Como puedes tu vivir tan sola

Yo te quiero, amada nina mia
Igual que ama la flor la luz del dia
Amapola, lindisima amapola
No seas tan ingrata y amame

Amapola, amapola
Como puedes tu vivir tan sola

Spanish version (original)

Amapola, lindísima Amapola,
Será siempre mi alma tuya, sola.
Yo te quiero, amada niña mía,
Igual que ama la flor la luz del día.

Amapola, lindísima Amapola,
No seas tan ingrata, ámame.
Amapola, Amapola,
¿Cómo puedes tú vivir tan sola?

English lyrics (1940) by Albert Gamse

Amapola, my pretty little poppy,
You're like the lovely flower so sweet and heavenly.
Since I found you my heart is wrapped around you,
And, seeing you, it seems to beat a rhapsody.

Amapola, the pretty little poppy
Must copy its endearing charms from you.
Amapola, Amapola,
How I long to hear you say "I love you."

Amapola
