The Regal Lily

(it is probably a strong challenge of a traditional Spanish song)
Why have they painted your ears? the flower of regal lily.
Why have they dressed you of silk? Oh regal lily, why will be it?
You see in order to ones who don't know, you are the key of the truth,
some say that you are good and they'd like to compare you with the simple lily.

Tell to anyone to stop that ferris wheel that goes rolling,
and trumpeting what it wants, in order to know your history,
some are looking for somehow, wherever and whenever want.

Oh real lily, although people don't want,
you are the best woman because God appointed you as his barker.

Why people stand up when they see it by passing.
Why is the brave lark which raises its forehead and starts to sing.
Some say that may be that a outlaw by hiding comes to see it.
Some say that the regal lily is waiting a lover at three o'clock round.

It carries the crown of glory. it takes the heat of wakefulness for love.
When the rolling of the ferris wheel,  neither the veil touches the sky of colours.
Oh regal lily. Sincerely,  a lover who properly waits
with blessing of altars his girlfriend.

    (1) The Spanish has "to" here, something I cannot understand.
    (2) I'm not sure about the Spanish here.

  2. (1)you will hear many times "to"= "todo" "to" is like it sounds but it should be really written "todo"(it was my fault, I should have warned).
    (2)I don't know this expresion in Spanish "con la ronda de las tres" probably is similar to say "a las tres".
    Mission accomplished. I am grateful.
