[English]

Until you forget me, I’m going to try

...

No one will kiss your lips, inside and out

No one will call my name, on any ordinary afternoon

Until you forget me so much that

There is no tomorrow, nor after, no, no

Until you forget me, I’m going to try

No one will bare my mouth like your smile does

And I will roll like a tear in the drizzle

Until you forget me so much that

There is no tomorrow, nor after

Until you forget me

I’m going to love you, so much, so much

Like fire in your arms

Until you forget me

Until you forget me

And I break into a thousand pieces

Continuing my grand play

Until you forget me

Until you forget me, uh

And I’m going to embroider your dream, on the pillow

Filling little by little, the silence along the alphabet, (ah, ah)

And when I kept silent, inside, having you by my side

Until you forget me so much that

There is no tomorrow, nor after

Until you forget me

I’m going to love you, so much, so much

Like fire in your arms

Until you forget me

Until you forget me

And I break into a thousand pieces

Continuing my grand play

Until you forget me

Until you forget me

Uh-oh, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, eh-eh!

I’m going to keep tracing

Your body on the wall

And I’m going to hang on your chest

The night and the dawn

Until you forget me

I’m going to love you, so much, so much

Like fire in your arms

Until you forget me, (¡uh, oh, oh!)

Until you forget me

And I break into a thousand pieces

Continuing my grand play

Until you forget me

Until you forget me

Uh, uh, uh

...

[Spanish]

Hasta que me olvides, voy a intentarlo

No habrá quién me seque tus labios, por dentro y por fuera

No habrá quién desnude mi nombre, una tarde cualquiera

Hasta que me olvides tanto que

No exista mañana, ni después, no, no

Hasta que me olvides, voy a intentarlo

No habrá quién desnude mi boca, como tú sonrisa

Y voy a rodar como lágrima entre la llovizna

Hasta que me olvides tanto que

No exista mañana, ni después

Hasta que me olvides

Voy a amarte, tanto, tanto

Como fuego entre tus brazos

Hasta que me olvides

Hasta que me olvides

Y me rompa en mil pedazos

Continuar mi gran teatro

Hasta que me olvides

Hasta que me olvides, uh

Y voy a bordar tu sueño, en la almohada

Llenar poco a poco, el silencio junto abecedario, (ah, ah)

Y cuando me callé, por dentro, tenerte a mi lado

Hasta que me olvides tanto que

No exista mañana, ni después

Hasta que me olvides

Voy a amarte, tanto, tanto

Como fuego entre tus brazos

Hasta que me olvides

Hasta que me olvides

Y me rompa en mil pedazos

Continuar mi gran teatro

Hasta que me olvides

Hasta que me olvides

¡Uh-oh, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, eh-eh!

Voy a continuar copiando

Tu cuerpo sobre la pared

Y voy a colgar en tu pecho

La noche y el amanecer

Hasta que me olvides

Voy a amarte, tanto, tanto

Como fuego entre tus brazos

Hasta que me olvides, (¡uh, oh, oh!)

Hasta que me olvides

Y me rompa en mil pedazos

Continuar mi gran teatro

Hasta que me olvides

Hasta que me olvides

Uh, uh, uh

Key Grammar Structures

• Hasta que me olvides, voy a intentarlo

  ➔ Subjunctive clause with 'hasta que' (until) implying future action.

  ➔ The clause 'hasta que me olvides' takes the subjunctive ('olvides') because it refers to an action that has not yet happened.

• No habrá quién desnude mi nombre, una tarde cualquiera

  ➔ Future simple 'habrá' expressing nonexistence.

  ➔ The phrase 'no habrá quién...' means 'there will be no one who...', often used to deny existence in the future.

• Y voy a rodar como lágrima entre la llovizna

  ➔ Simile using 'como' to express comparison.

  ➔ The word 'como' introduces a simile: 'rodar como lágrima' means 'to roll like a tear'.

• Voy a amarte tanto, tanto

  ➔ Periphrasis 'ir a + infinitive' indicating near-future intention.

  ➔ 'Voy a amarte' means 'I’m going to love you,' showing decision or intention, not distant future.

• Y me rompa en mil pedazos

  ➔ Subjunctive 'rompa' expressing desired or hypothetical action.

  ➔ The subjunctive is used because the speaker expresses an emotional or uncertain outcome ('break into pieces').

• Voy a bordar tu sueño en la almohada

  ➔ Use of metaphor through 'bordar' (to embroider) figuratively.

  ➔ ‘Bordar’ means to embroider literally, but here it metaphorically means to keep the memory of the beloved close.

• Llenar poco a poco el silencio junto abecedario

  ➔ Use of adverbial phrase 'poco a poco' expressing gradual action.

  ➔ ‘Poco a poco’ literally means 'little by little', used to describe progressive change or development.

• Y cuando me calle por dentro, tenerte a mi lado

  ➔ Subordinate clause with 'cuando' indicating time, requiring subjunctive.

  ➔ The verb following 'cuando' ('me calle') is in the subjunctive because the action is not yet realized.
