They met in the dawn of their childhood.
As kids they would play man and wife.
And they knew even then, before they were ten,
They’d share the rest of their lives.
They played in her tea-castle garden,
Neath the shade of an old tamarind tree,
In his poor Key West cloths, he gave her a rose
And whispered these words tenderly,
“tea mo, te quiero, carina” (“I love you, I want you my precious one.”)
He said as he whispered her name.
These words set her heart all aflame.
And they danced ‘Neath the stars to the sound of guitars,
“tea mo, te quiero, carina”
In the noon of their lives they courted,
No longer young children at play,
And they spoke not a word, only heartbeats were heard,
As they walked in the beach,
‘Neath the Shade of an old tamarind tree,
In his best Key West cloths, he gave her a rose
And whispered these words tenderly,
“tea mo, te quiero, carina” (“I love you, I want you my precious one.”)
In the twilight of his life she goes walking,
To their song was first sung.
And she sees his sweet face in memory’s found place,
In a time when they were both young,
Now he sleeps in an old cemetery.
‘Neath the Shade of an old tamarind tree,
In her old woman’s cloths she brings him a rose
And whispered these words tenderly,
“tea mo, te quiero, carina” (“I love you, I want you my precious one.”)
She says as she whispers his name.
These words set her heart all aflame.
She can’t hold back the tears after all of these years,
“tea mo, te quiero, carina” (“I love you, I want you my precious one.”)
