Zamba Del Recuerdo
Luis Arrúa
Zamba of Memories
This zamba brings back memories
It’s nostalgia that came from way back
From those times of a true friend
Times of a good man
How nice it is to remember
This zamba is inspired by those days
And recalls moments that pass
Leaving their mark and their joy
In those lively notes
That the guitarist gives us
Beautiful things to experience
Nights spent without a break
With the guitar, the singing, and the whole soul
Glass of wine, you inspire
Woman who claps without stopping
And friends who gather around, in springtime
For a few coins and a glass of wine
You left the best of your singing
And many cried with your trills
Because you are the comfort
Of the sorrows you find
Your time as a guitarist is almost gone
The party’s over, they’re no longer here
The old friendships, my friends
Those nights you used to spend
Such beautiful things.
