Memória Lyrics Meaning Carminho | Rosalía | LUX
ROSALÍA asks in her sad gaze if memory still exists. Carminho writes “Tell me that some memory exists” as a plea for identity. The lyrics describe fear of being forgotten by oneself and others.
Ainda Te Lembras De MimDo you still remember me?
Ainda Sabes De Onde Eu VimDo you still know where I came from?
Quem Sou Esta Que Aqui EstouWho I am, the one standing here?
Diz-me No Meu Olhar TristeTell me through my sad gaze,
Que Alguma Memória ExisteThat some memory still exists,
E Ainda Sabes Quem SouAnd you still know who I am.
Diz-me Se Ainda TropeçoTell me if I still stumble,
Se Me Alegro Se AgradeçoIf I’m happy or if I’m grateful,
Ou Se Ainda Sei CantarOr if I still know how to sing.
Recorda-me Por FavorPlease, remind me,
Alguma Coisa O Que ForOf something, anything at all,
Que Eu Não Consigo LembrarThat I just can’t remember.
Vem Comigo Pela CidadeCome with me through the city,
Diz-me Com SinceridadeTell me with total sincerity,
Se Tu Te Lembras De MimIf you really remember me.
Onde Cresci E AmeiWhere I grew up and where I loved,
Com Quem Vivi E Me DeiWho I lived with and shared myself with,
Ou Se A Algo Eu Pus FimOr if I put an end to something.
Será Que Tu Me ConhecesDo you actually know me?
Que O Tempo Passa E Não EsquecesAs time passes, do you never forget,
Quem Eu Fui E Sou EnfimWho I was and who I’ve become?
Ó Meu Doce CoraçãoOh, my sweet heart,
Diz-me Se Sabes Ou NãoTell me if you know or not,
Ainda Te Lembras De MimDo you still remember me?
Siempre Que Me Acuerdo De AlgoWhenever I remember something,
Siempre Lo Recuerdo Un Poco DiferenteI always remember it a bit differently.
Y Sea Como Sea Ese RecuerdoAnd however that memory might be,
Siempre Es Verdad En Mi MenteIt’s always the truth in my mind.
Y Si Mi Alma Se DerramaAnd if my soul spills out,
Y La Falta De Pasado Es El OlvidoThe lack of a past is what we call oblivion.
Cuando Muera Solo PidoWhen I die, I only ask,
No Olvidar Lo Que He VividoNot to forget what I’ve lived.
Será Que Tu Me ConhecesDo you actually know me?
Que O Tempo Passa E Não EsquecesAs time passes, do you never forget,
Quem Eu Fui E Sou EnfimWho I was and who I’ve become?
Ó Meu Doce CoraçãoOh, my sweet heart,
Diz-me Se Sabes Ou NãoTell me if you know or not,
Ainda Te Lembras De MimDo you still remember me?
