Letra del Vals Acuérdate de mi

En mis primeras horas
de ardientes esperanzas,
allí donde la vida
nos da el primer sopor.
Un nombre murmuré,
un beso idolatré,
en él estabas tú
con la risa del adiós.

No sé si por ser bueno,
no sé si por ser malo,
o acaso por castigo
la vida te alejó.
Mas sé que de esa flor
de mi primer amor,
el libro de mi alma
sus pétalos guardó.

Hoy, tal vez, ni te acuerdes de mí
los días al pasar
nos hacen olvidar así,
pero hay horas divinas
que no se olvidan,
horas que me hablan de ti.

Hoy, tal vez, ni te acuerdes de mí
no hay nada bajo el sol
más volátil que el amor, quizás,
pero aquel que en mi pecho
prendió tu pecho,
ese no morirá.

English lyrics of the Vals "Acuérdate de mi"

In my early hours
of burning hopes,
there, where life
first lulls us.
A name I murmured,
a kiss I idolized,
in it was you
with the laugh of goodbye.

I don’t know if for being good,
I don’t know if for being bad,
or perhaps as punishment
life took you away.
But I know that from that flower
of my first love,
the book of my soul
kept its petals.

Today, maybe, you don’t remember me
the passing days
make us forget like this,
but there are divine hours
that are not forgotten,
hours that speak of you.

Today, maybe, you don’t remember me
there’s nothing under the sun
more fleeting than love, perhaps,
but the one in my heart
lit by your heart,
that one will not die.
