con espiñas para todos,
sin ningunha para ti;
Desque te quixen, ingrato,
tod'acabou para min,- I was born when plants do
in the month of flowers I was born
at a tranquil dawn
at an april's dawn;
That's why they calle me Rose,
but of the sad smile,
having thorns for everyone
but for you;
Since I love you, ungrateful,
everything ended for me
