Para Que No Me Olvides
Arturo Gatica
So You Don't Forget Me
I will start living in every rose
and in every lily that your eyes see
and in every trill I will sing your name
so you don't forget me.
(Recited)
I will start living in every rose
and in every lily that your eyes see
and in every trill I will sing your name
so you don't forget me.
If, while contemplating, tears fill your eyes
and your soul is filled with impossibilities
it's because my loneliness comes to kiss you
so you don't forget me.
I will paint the horizon pink
and I will paint the wallflowers blue
and I will gild your hair with moonlight
so you don't forget me.
(Recited)
If you walk sweetly asleep
through a world of diaphanous gardens,
think of my heart that dreams for you
so you don't forget me.
And if one afternoon, at a distant altar,
held by another hand, you are blessed,
when they put the golden ring on you,
my soul will be an invisible tear
in the eyes of the dying Christ...
So you don't forget me.
Don't forget me.
Don't forget me.
