Description
There are songs that sound like a postcard found by chance between the pages of an old notebook. The ink on the paper has faded, but as soon as you read it, the smell of coffee, your mother's voice, and the light of a candle before sunset suddenly come to life. Everything is so fragile, almost weightless, but that is precisely where the power lies - in the ability to preserve tiny details, as if they could cheat time.
There is a gentle stubbornness in the melody: not to push away the inevitable, but to hold it close to your chest and say,"Well, everything passes, and that's okay too. The irony of fate is that eternity is not made up of grand victories, but of whispers in the ear, of moonlight in April, and of a glass of champagne at midnight. That's how it turns out - one moment, but it seems like a whole lifetime.
Lyrics and translation
Original
No mires lejos, solo mantente aquí.
Haz el intento de recordarme así.
Mantén la imagen en la retina y entrégamela intacta si sospechas que empiezo a olvidar las partes de la vida en las que vi felicidad.
Guarda el segundo después de la estrella fugaz.
Guarda el olor a café junto al timbre de voz de mamá.
Tal vez así sigamos siendo eternos.
Será un suspiro, será solo el vaivén, el baile de una vela al viento antes de anochecer.
Si hay un inicio, habrá una última vez.
Por mucho que nos duela, así debía ser.
Mira tu espejo, no pierdas ni un matiz.
Haz de él un lienzo e intenta definir la forma exacta de tu silueta y llénala de aquello que merece una oportunidad para llevarlo dentro en los días que vendrán.
Guarda la luna de abril y tu deseo en San Juan junto a la última uva y el abrazo bañado en champán.
¿Quién no ha pensado en detener el tiempo?
Será un suspiro, será solo el vaivén del baile de una vela al viento antes de anochecer.
Si hay un inicio, habrá una última vez.
Por mucho que nos duela, así debía ser.
Así debía ser.
Será un suspiro, será solo el vaivén del baile de una vela al viento antes de anochecer.
Si hay un inicio, habrá una última vez.
Si mereció la pena, así debía ser.
English translation
Don't look away, just stay here.
Try to remember me like this.
Keep the image on your retina and give it to me intact if you suspect that I am beginning to forget the parts of life in which I saw happiness.
Save the second after the shooting star.
Keep the smell of coffee next to the timbre of mom's voice.
Maybe this way we will continue to be eternal.
It will be a sigh, it will be just the coming and going, the dance of a candle in the wind before nightfall.
If there is a beginning, there will be a last time.
As much as it hurts us, this is how it should be.
Look at your mirror, don't miss a single nuance.
Make it a canvas and try to define the exact shape of your silhouette and fill it with what deserves a chance to take it inside you in the days to come.
Save the April moon and your wish in San Juan along with the last grape and the hug bathed in champagne.
Who hasn't thought about stopping time?
It will be a sigh, it will be just the swing of the dance of a candle in the wind before nightfall.
If there is a beginning, there will be a last time.
As much as it hurts us, this is how it should be.
That's how it should be.
It will be a sigh, it will be just the swing of the dance of a candle in the wind before nightfall.
If there is a beginning, there will be a last time.
If it was worth it, that's how it should be.
