Dear Rosita,
don't cry anymore
just wipe away your tears,
lay your head on my shoulder
and let me shield you from your fears.
It’s more than I can bare to see you pain so badly.

Dear Rosita,
cast away your silly doubts, my dear,
the whole world loves you so.
they must be an idiot not to realize what I know:
that you are sweet and sensible,
that you can please them and love them in every way.

Dear Rosita,
cheer up my friend.
It is their happiness that will end.
they don't deserve you,
they don't deserve your love or your joy,
let them fall for those others,
they are nothing next to you.

Dear Rosita,
walk away from them.
Leave them to the dogs and cowards
who will surely take their hand.
I'm sure you can do better,
and those who hold your hand
won’t slip away so fast.
