Clavelitos by Genaro Monreal — Lyrics
Mocita dame el clavel
Dame el clavel de tu boca
Pa' eso no hay que tener
Mucha vergüenza ni poca
Yo te daré el cascabel
Te lo prometo, mocita
Si tú me das esa miel
Que llevas en la boquita
Clavelitos, clavelitos
Clavelitos de mi corazón
Yo te traigo clavelitos
Colorados igual que un tizón
Si algún día, clavelitos
No lograra poderte traer
No te creas que ya no te quiero
Es que no te los pude coger

About Clavelitos
This charming Spanish song paints a vivid picture of youthful romance. The lyrics express a tender exchange between two lovers, where a young woman is asked for a kiss, symbolized by a carnation from her mouth. The singer promises affection in return, offering a bell and pledging to bring her red carnations as a token of his heart, as vibrant as an ember. He reassures her that if he fails to bring them, it's due to unavailability, not a lack of love. The imagery of her cherry-red lips and a carnation in her hair, reminiscent of a piece of heaven, creates a sweet and memorable scene. This SAB arrangement captures the spirit of this delightful secular song.
