Description
There is a special tenderness in farewells - like the light of a candle that flickers but still gives warmth. When nothing can be held on to anymore, at least there is something left to preserve: the smell of coffee, the softness of a voice, that moment that happened right after happiness. Memory becomes a repository of eternity, albeit tiny, like a grain of sand under the eyelids.
The song plays quietly, almost like a breath between words. There is no drama in it - only acceptance that all living things must say goodbye one day. But it does so beautifully: with warmth, with the April moon in your pocket and a last sip of champagne to remember that it was good.
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
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
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
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 the retina
And give it to me intact, if you suspect that I'm starting to forget
The parts of life where I saw happiness
Save the second after the shooting star
Save the smell of coffee, along with 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
From 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 in your mirror, don't miss a single shade
Make it a canvas and try to define
The exact shape of your silhouette
And fill it with what deserves a chance
To carry it inside in the days to come
Save the April moon and your wish in San Juan
Next to 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 coming and going
From 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
That's how it should be
That's how it should be
It will be a sigh, it will be just the coming and going
From 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
