Por no olvidar

From a lost time, up to now tonight has come
a memory found to stay with me.
From a distant time, up to now tonight has come
another forbidden memory, forgotten in oblivion.

Sentimentally to fix it,
I'm going to stay with you forever.
But I might find you lately,
amongst all this confusion with people.
Sentimentally ours for now
is the nest that oblivion has destroyed;
and if the wind brings me back to your shores,
serenely, I'll be asleep...
Serenely, I'll be asleep.

From a distant time up to now lost has come,
without knocking on my door, intrusive memory.
From a forgotten time has come a wet memory
from a rainy afternoon, your tangled hair.

As always when roles are reversed
I'll fall asleep on your waist.
And if the conceited day wakes me up,
let me stay a little in the heights.
Why count the time we have left,
why count the time that has passed,
if living is a gift and a present
half awake, half asleep,
half open, half asleep.

I only know that I know nothing about your life,
I only hung on once in the past.
I presented my credentials to your laughter,
and you stabbed me with a lance in the side.
I think I didn't let you play with fire,
we only whispered things in each other's ears.
And if one day I find you one morning,
it will be possible, it will be asleep
it will be possible, it will be asleep.

And if one day I find you one morning,
it will be possible, it will be asleep
it will be possible, it will be asleep.
