There are songs that just bring on a flood of memories....good & bad, happy & sad. And today I've heard it randomly three times. (On Music Choice while getting ready, on my ipod (there are 1,500+ songs - why that one??) and then just now on Pandora) I used to be a big believer in signs, and perhaps I never really stopped paying attention to them - I just stopped looking for them.
Ojalá Podria Borarte, by Mana, is easily one of my favorite songs. There is something that is both haunting and also, memory provoking about that song. It makes your heart heavy and sad. We've all been through it and wish that we could just forget about that one person.
And now the lyrics (Spanish w/ English)
Ojala pudiera borrarte / Hopefully I can erase you
Ojala y te me borraras de mis sueños
Hopefully, I will erase you from my dreams
Y poder desdibujarte
and be able to undraw you
Ojala y pudiera ahogarte en un charco
Hopefully, I can drown you in a pool
Lleno de rosas y amor
full or roses and love
Ojala y se me olvidara hasta tu nombre
Hopefully, I can even forget your name
Ahogarlo dentro del mar
and drown it inside the ocean
Ojala y que tu sonrisa de verano
Hopefully, your smile of summer
Se pudiera ya borrar
I am able now to erase
[Estribillo:]
chorus
Vuelve corazón
return my love
Vuelve a mi lado
come back to my side
Vuelve corazón
return my love
No vuelve no vuelve no vuelve no
she doesnt return no she wont return no
Ojala y te me borraras para siempre de mi vida
Hopefully, you will erase yourself from my life
Para no volverte a ver
So I wont be able to see you again
Ojala y te borraras por las noches en el día
Hopefully, I can erase you from my nights during the day
Para no volverte a ver
So I wont be able to see you again
Ojala y te me esfumaras de mis sueños, vida mía
Hopefully, I can fade you from my dreams, my love
Para no volverte a ver
So I wont be able see you again
No, ni en sueños
No not even in my dreams
Como puedo yo borrar tus besos vida
How can I erase your kisses my love
Están tatuados en mi piel
when they are tattooed on my skin
Quiero de una vez por todas, ya largarte
I want once and for all, that you get lost
Y borrarte de mi ser
and erase you from my being
Ojala y la lluvia me ahogue entre sus brazos
Hopefully, and the rain will drown me in its arms
Para no pensar en ti
So I wont be able to think of you
O que pase un milagro o pase algo,
I that a miracle occurs or something
Que me lleve hasta ti
that will take me straight to you
[Estribillo]
chorus
Ojala y te me borraras para siempre de mi vida
Hopefully, you will erase yourself forever from my life
Ojala y te me esfumaras de mis sueños vida mía, y que no me lluevas más
Hopefully, I can fade you from my dreams my love or stop you from raining on me ever again
Y ojala y q la lluvia me ahogue entre sus brazos,
Hopefully, and the rain will drown me in its arms
Para no volverte a ver, no
So I wont see you again
Ni en sueños
Not even in my dreams
Pa que pares de llover
So you can stop from raining
Sueños, sueños, oh oh sueños
dreams, dreams, oh oh dreams
