The mimosa had bloomed,

When I took courage and asked you to be my bride.

A few months have passed and many roses have bloomed,

In the middle of them there is one of a magnificent color,

That opens his arms and holds me tight to the heart.

Summer has arrived and there is wheat and sunflowers,

And we are finally alone hand in hand.

Months go by and years go by and we find ourselves in a field of sunflowers,

With our children in his arms.

Years go by and our love is strengthened,

Because in our midst there is the Lord.

Era fiorita la mimosa,

quando mi presi di coraggio e ti chiesi di essere la mia sposa.

È passato qualche mese e sono sbocciate tante rose,

in mezzo a loro ce n'è una di un magnifico colore,

che apre le sue braccia e mi stringe forte al cuore.

È arrivata l'estate e c'è il grano e i girasoli,

e noi mano nella mano finalmente siamo soli.

Passano i mesi e passano gli anni e ci troviamo in un campo di girasoli,

con in braccio i nostri figliuoli.

Passano gli anni e si rafforza il nostro amore,

perché in mezzo a noi c'è nostro il Signore.
