La Recuerdo Asi

I Remember Her Like That

La Recuerdo Asi

I'd rather have the unmade bed than your absence by my side,Mejor la cama destendida que tu ausencia a mi lado,
better her kisses than your name in my mouthmejor sus besos que tu nombre en mi boca
and I'm spring and fall in less than an houry yo primaverA y otoño en menos de una hora
while I get to know her, she becomes part of my forgetfulness.mientras la conozco se va uniendo a mi olvido.

This is a mess, a spiral, a cycle...Esto es un trorrillo, un espiral, un ciclo...
this of not having you and looking for you in unknown chestsesto de no tenerte y buscarte en pechos desconocidos
in a name I don't rememberen un nombre que no recuerdo
in a belly I don't return toen un vientre al que no vuelvo
it's one more point on the list of failures I keep in the draweres un punto más a la lista de fracasos que guardo en el cajón
next to your memory.junto a tu recuerdo.

I remember her like thatLa recuerdo asi
like daylight that dazzles at the thresholdcomo luz de dia que deslumbra en el umbral
like a dollhouse with everything in its placecomo casa de muñecas todo en su lugar
with everything ready to start playingcon todo dispuesto para empezar a jugar
I was so eager to start playing.tenia tantas ganas para empezar a jugar

I remember her like thatLa recuerdo asi
like the promise I made and didn't keepcomo la promesa que le hice y no cumpli
it doesn't matter this world against me, you have meno importa este mundo en contra me tienes a mi
but when I needed her, she wasn't therepero cuando le hice falta ya no estaba alli
I missed her so much and she wasn't there anymore.le hice tanta falta y ya no me encontraba alli

I remember her like thatLa recuerdo asi
she told me not to say anything, to be quiet and I didn't listenme dijo no digas nada calla y no la oi
I just wanted a sweet kiss before she leftsolo queria un beso dulce antes de partir
I didn't want to see her cry at our endno queria que la mirara llorar nuestro fin
I didn't want to see her cry at this end.no queria que la mirara llorar este fin

I remember her like thatLa recuerdo asi
with a lump in my throat and a desire to liecon el nudo en la garganta y ganas de mentir
and tell myself everything will be fine if you're not herey decirme todo va a estar bien si tu no estas aqui
I'm not the first and you're not the last like thisno soy la primera y no eres el ultimo asi
I'm not the first and you're not the last like this.no soy la primera y no eres el ultimo asi
