My Journey Round The World

Ezequiel is not only a great host, making you feel at home, giving you advices – even shopping advice! – but he is also an artist during his spare time: playing guitar and singing! Luckily for them they had another couch surfer planned for the weekend as I could have stay there for ages!

He sang me this song after a long chat we had about life experiences…

“Zamba para Olvidar”  – Samba to forget – see the Spanish side for Spanish original version

I don’t know why you came back,
If I was starting to forget.
I don’t know if you know by now,
I cried when you left.
I don’t know why you came back,
Remembering is for me so bad.

The afternoon has become sad,
And I rather be silent.
Why should we talk
Of things which are no longer?
I don’t know why you came back,
Do you see now that it is better not to talk?

It makes me sad to know that in the end,
Of that love nothing is left.
Only a poor song,
Is turning around my guitar.
And it has for a while now missed you,
My “Zamba para Olvidar” (Samba to forget)

My zamba lived with me,
As part of my solitude.
I don’t know if you know by now…
My life left with you.
Remembering is for me so bad.

My hands are already dust,
From squeezing the pain so hard.
And now that the sun is missing,
I don’t know what you came here to find.
Crying my love crying,
Forget me yourself.

It makes me sad to know that in the end,
Of that love nothing is left.
Only a poor song,
Is turning around my guitar.
And it has for a while now missed you,
My “Zamba para Olvidar” (Samba to forget)
