Content

edit

The album was censored in Francoist Spain. The track list was altered and the album was renamed to Te Doy una Canción.[2] The songs Santiago de Chile and the title track Días y Flores were omitted and were replaced by Madre and Te Doy una Canción. With the end of the dictatorship, the two songs were added again, the new editions in Spain have thirteen songs.

Similarly, the album was also censored in Chile, due to the regime of Augusto Pinochet.[3] A cassette titled Te Doy una Canción circulated, which did not contain the songs Santiago de Chile, Playa Girón, Como esperando abril and Pequeña Serenata Diurna, however it did includeTe Doy una Canción and a live version of Mariposas. There is also a CD like the Spanish version, which adds Madre after Santiago de Chile, and changes Días y flores for Te Doy una Canción.
