Memorias de Una Vieja Canción

This sunless day is all mine
Knocking on my windows, so cold
An old song on my guitar
An old song that won't be forgotten.
It's the same one that once brought us together
On the distant beaches of your old country,
And autumn, watching its leaves fall
Comes to me and soaks me
With its gray drizzle.

Why can't I forget your song?
Is it because I loved you so much
That here I sit in this room
On this same table, I cried for you last night.
Why can't I forget your song?
If the river flows and never comes back
Eternal clock of the hours
And this song that cries
Over my windowpane.
La - ra ra - larai lara lara...

Sorrow doesn't die just to die
Love never dies from being forgotten
Nor does your smile die in my room
Smoking in the high night, you’re with me.
With the wounded compass sailing
My sailboat in the smoke of a cigarette
Leans back in your distant harbor
It raises its anchors again
But it won't return.
