Memoria

What is history without record?
What is history without memory?
Who tells it, who invents it?
Who forgets it, who erases it?

What does the head remember?
What do you have, what do you think?
Who tells it, who invents it?
What is history without memory?

What does the heart record?
The end and farewell of a great love?

How much time has passed? How much is left?
What marks us and leaves a mark
How difficult memory is
Of the one who still waits

How much grief, how much sorrow
To not have you near
How fleeting, how treacherous
The memory of what remains

What is history without memory?
Without forgetting, without meeting?
Who cries for us, who leaves us?
Who will support us in the remainder?

What do I care what happens?
No memory to love you
Who tells it? Who invents it?
What is history without memory?

What does the heart record?
The last goodbye of a great love?

And so you were my flag
My banner without borders
We didn't lose our way
Because I felt you with me

And so you were my after
My forever, my newly
I am who I am because of our history
I am who I am because of your memory
