“Remembrance (Memoria)”

[4:24]

Spoken

“No puedo olvidar los tiempos,

Cuando estaba en tus brazos.

I can’t forget the moments I spent in your arms…K”

Every time I think about your smile,

It evokes emotions

inside of me I can’t deny.

Cuando me tocabas

(when you touched me),

Y me confortabas (comforted me)

I can’t believe it’s all gone.

Daily we held dreams of years to come,

Never believing that

Time’s sand would be done.

Slowly you joined my soul

(Me juntabas),

And beyond my control (yo no puedo)

Fantasy went to my head.

So I said:

Chorus

I have never had a love to capture me

Girl, don’t set me free for all time.

I have never had a love to take my heart

Please don’t break my heart.

“Por que los suenos

desteños en la abisma de solidad?

Why must dreams fade

into the abyss of loneliness?”

The reality of you’s like a mist-

Vainly I try to capture it,

But it won’t exist (no).

Por esta razon I never “fell” before

Pero te di mi corazon

(But I gave you my heart)

That’s why I said

Chorus

If a dream deferred

makes them be fulfilled,

Tomorrow your love

would fall from sky.

(girl you know I tried).

But why bask in fantasy-

we’re meant to live.

I did nothing wrong,

So I must move on!

Chorus

(But baby you set me free.

Oh, I’ve never had…

I’ll spread my wings like a dove,

‘Cause I still believe in love)

Every time I think about your smile.

“Yo siempre recordaré.

I will always remember.”
