Te Recuerdo Amanda [English translation]

I remember you, Amanda,

the street was all wet;

you were running to the factory

where Manuel used to work.

You were smiling from ear to ear,

with the rain in your hair.

Nothing else mattered;

you were going to meet with him,

with him, with him, with him.

It's five minutes.

Life is eternal

in five minutes.

The bell rings,

back to work.

And there you were, walking.

You light up everything;

those five minutes

make you bloom.

I remember you, Amanda,

the street was all wet;

you were running to the factory

where Manuel used to work.

You were smiling from ear to ear,

with the rain in your hair.

Nothing else mattered;

you were going to meet with him,

with him, with him, with him

who went off to the mountains,

who never hurt anybody.

who went off to the mountains.

And in just five minutes,

he was torn to pieces.

The bell rings,

back to work.

There were many who never came back.

Manuel didn't, either.

I remember you, Amanda,

the street was all wet;

you were running to the factory

where Manuel used to work.
