A song reminds me of yesterday,
cuando se marchΓ³ en silencio un atadecer
when she left in silence at dusk.
se fuΓ© con su canto triste a otro lugar
She went somewhere else, with her sad song.
dejΓ³ como compaΓ±era mi soledad.
She left behind my solitude
Una paloma blanca me canta al alba
A white dove sings to me at dawn.
viejas melancolΓas, cosas del alma
Old melancholies, things of the soul,
llegan con el silencio de la maΓ±ana
arrive with the morning's silence
y cuando salgo a verla vuela a su casa.
when I go outside to see, it flies back home.
ΒΏDΓ³nde va? que mi voz ya no quiere escuchar,
Where does it go, my voice doesn't wish to listen anymore
ΒΏDΓ³nde va? que mi vida se apaga si junto a mi no estΓ‘.
Where does it go, my life is extinguished if she's not beside me?
Si quisiera volver yo la irΓa a esperar
If only she'd want to come back I'd go wait for her.
cada dΓa, cada madrugada para quererla mΓ‘s.

13) "IF YOU GO AWAY"
If you go away on this summer day
Then you might as well take the sun away
All the birds that flew in the summer sky
And our love was new and our hearts were high
When the day was young and the night was long
And the moon stood still for the night bird song
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away
But if you stay I'll make you a day
Like no day has ever been or will be again
We'll sail on the sun we'll ride on the rain
We'll talk to the trees and worship the wind
But if you go I'll understand
Leave me just enough love to fill up my hand
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away
If you go away yes I know you must
There'll be nothing left in the world to trust
Just an empty room full of empty space
Like the empty look I see on your face
Can I tell you now as you turn to go
I'll be dying slowly till your next hello
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away
But if you stay I'll make you a night
Like no night has ever been or will be again
I'll sail on your smile I'll ride on your touch
I'll talk to your eyes that I love so much
But if you go I won't cry
For the good has gone from the world goodbye
If you go away, if you go away,
If you go away, if you go away

Guantanamera" ("girl from GuantΓ‘namo") is perhaps the best known Cuban song and that country's most noted patriotic song.

The story behind Guantanamera:
Original lyrics
The original lyrics to the song, as written by JosΓ© FernΓ‘ndez, relate to a particular woman from GuantΓ‘namo, with whom he had a romantic relationship, and who β if the lyrics are to be believed β eventually left him. The alleged real story behind these lyrics (or at least one of many versions of the song's origin that FernΓ‘ndez suggested during his lifetime) is that she did not have a romantic interest in him, but merely a platonic one. If the details are to be believed, she had brought him a steak sandwich one day as a present to the radio station he worked at, he stared at some other woman (and made a pass at her) while eating the sandwich, and his friend yanked it out of his hands in disgust, cursed him and left. He never saw her again. These words are rarely sung today.
The history behind the chorus and its lyrics ("Guantanamera β¦ / Guajira Guantanamera β¦") is quite similar to this one: GarcΓa was at a street corner with a group of friends, and made a courteous pass (a "piropo", in Spanish) to a woman (who also happened to be from GuantΓ‘namo) who walked by the group, and answered back rather harshly, offended by the pass. Stunned, he could not take his mind off her reaction while his friends made fun of him; later that day, sitting at a piano his friends next to him, he wrote the song's main refrain.

Asj, where are you getting these translations? They are not done very well. The poetry is lost and at times the translation appears mechanical. I love this language and I think it is quite poetical but your lyrics makes it sterile. I will translate the above as I think the lyricist intended later on in the day.

guajira does not simply mean girl. It implies peasant or country woman/girl. "Guantanamera" is actually a rhythmic call that people use when the lift or move something in unison.[/QUOTE]

The 1990s
In the 1990s, Julio Iglesias returned to his original Spanish melody in Tango (1996), nominated for Best Latin Pop Album at the 1998 Grammy Awards, losing to the Romances album by Luis Miguel. Also that year, his youngest son, Enrique Iglesias, also was nominated for the Vivir album.
With him continually touring and recording, to ensure his music reaches the world, Julio Iglesias has said, that singing, as an admirable activity, is something he can't picture not in his life. He is thrilled being a singer, and always wants to be a singer, loving the life so much, he would rather die on stage than in bed. He is proud of his achievements, and proud of Enrique's achievements, and of how much his music has enhanced peoples' lives. Julio Iglesias is amenable to signing autographs, though he can be difficult to reach, because of the security guards they have hired since 1985, after the kidnapping.

18) MOONLIGHT LADY:
There were beggars and kings
In a magical sky
There were wings in the air
And I learned how to fly.
There was me, there was you
In a world made for two, then you were gone.
Moonlight lady
Come along with me
To the bright city lights,
It's all right, 'cause tonight's on me.
Moonlight lady
Come along with me
To the bright city lights,
It's all right, 'cause tonight's on me.
Every night is so empty without you
I'm so lonely since you went away
If by chance we could dance to the music
Let it play,
Let me say...
Moonlight lady
Come along with me
To the bright city lights,
It's all right, 'cause tonight's on me.
