Bugambilia Lyrics English Translation by Nasa Histoires
Purple flowers jump from the bougainvillea
Surely it was because they saw me cry
And as they fall, they caress my cheeks
Poor suicides, they just wanted to kiss me
And dance slowly, purple flower, you remind me of my beloved
She’s waiting for me at home, and I’m dying to return
That’s life, purple flower, sometimes it can be wicked
You are in love with me, and I’m dying to return
Dying to return, dying to return
“The world is like that, a bunch of people
A sea of little fires, no two fires are alike.”
Seeds fall that I plant with my two feet
While bougainvilleas grow, my pupils rain again and again
And as they dance, they adorn my skin
I’d better go back to sleep for a while to see you again
And dance slowly, purple flower, you remind me of my beloved
She’s waiting for me at home, and I’m dying to return
That’s life, purple flower, sometimes it can be wicked
You are in love with me, and I’m dying to return
Dying to return, dying to return
Oh, my heart, I’m dying to return
Take me away from here, ah-ah
Take me away from here
