AAy que laureles tan verdes
que rosas tan enEcendidas
ESi piensas abandonarme
mejor quitame la viAda
alza los ojos a vEerme
si no estas comprmetiAdo

AEres mata de algodon
que vives en el capEullo
Eay que tristesa me da
cuando te llenas de orgAullo
de ver a mi coErazon
enredado con el tAuyo

The story behind the song

"Los Laureles" captures a feeling of longing and hope, like a quiet question whispered to a potential love. The "green laurels" in the lyrics symbolize a flourishing connection, a desire for two lives to become intertwined. It's a gentle invitation, wondering if someone is free to let their heart become "entangled" with another's. Linda Ronstadt, an artist celebrated for her diverse musical range, brought this song to life on her 1987 album Canciones de mi padre, showcasing her deep connection to traditional Mexican music. Playing it feels like nurturing a tender possibility, a hopeful wish for love to blossom.

Ay que laureles tan verdes

que rosas tan encendidas

Si piensas abandonarme

mejor quitame la vida

alza los ojos a verme
