Buena Vista Social Club – Silencio lyrics
Duermen en mi jardin
Las blancas azucenas, los nardos y las rosas,
Mi alma muuuuy triste y pesarosa
A las flores quiere ocultar su amargo dolor.

Yo no quiero que las flores sepan
Los tormentos que me da la vida.
Si supieran lo que estoy sufriendo
Por mis penas llorarian tambien.

Silencio, que estan durmiendo
Los nardos y las azucenas.
No quiero que sepan mis penas
Porque si me ven llorando moriran.

    (Male voice): Sleeping in my garden are white lilies, tuberose and Roses. My soul, very sad and regretful, wants to hide from the flowers it’s bitter pain.
    (Female voice): I don’t want the flowers to know the torments Life brings me. If they knew what I was suffering they, too, would cry for my sorrows.
    (Duet): Silence; the tuberose and lilies are sleeping. I don’t want them to know my sorrows, for if they saw me crying they would die.

    Interpretation: the flowers in the garden are the singers’ children or other loved ones.( Note the masculine tuberose and feminine lilies) The singers are hiding their own pain and suffering from their innocent loved ones because of the harm/hurt it would cause. They love the flowers/children, they nurture them and want to protect them. The cause of the pain is up to the listener’s imagination.
