OF ALL THE FLOWERS

"It is one of the oldest songs on the album. Part of a love breakup. That grief helped me understand that I had an opportunity to return to myself and take care of that inner garden that I am and to which I needed to return to build a world inside of it , and from that space I could look and integrate, a new spring, a new stage in my life". - Natalia Lafourcade.

Podcast

Natalia Lafourcade and Mari Carmen Silva, her mother, reflect on the importance of our inner garden, exploring the second song, which gives the title to the album, “De Todas las Flores” (Of All the Flowers). They talk about how music unites them, their closeness, the love that flourishes and withers, how they have been influenced and how emotions inhabit the melodies.

Of all the flowers that we planted
only a few are still in bloom
Every morning they wonder
when you will come and sing to them.
Of all the moons we gazed upon
only a few memories remain.
When we laughed, when we had each other
getting drunk, walking the streets of Madrid with no direction.
When we danced, when we got lost
in that song from our old life that only we understood
In that garden of bougainvillea that we shared.
Of all the flowers that we planted
only a few are still in bloom
Every morning they wonder
when you will come and sing to them.
The waning moons that observed us
crying sacred tears upon the seas.
Like your caresses, bitter and sweet
Delicious the mornings, labyrinths in the deepest night.
Like your caresses, soft as a thorn
digging into my chest, all this melancholy
In this garden of bougainvillea without your company.
Of all the moons we gazed upon together
only a few memories remain
When we laughed, when we had each other
getting drunk, walking the streets of Madrid with no direction
When we danced, when we got lost
in that song from our old life that only we understood
In that garden of bougainvillea that we shared
In that garden of bougainvillea where we lost each other.
