[English]

Nuestra historia de amor

Our love story

No la podré olvidar

I will not be able to forget it

Fuiste algo muy bello

You were something very beautiful

Que por mi vida pasó

That passed through my life

El más tierno idilio

The sweetest idyll

Que vivió mi corazón

That my heart lived

Hoy te vas muy lejos

Today you are going very far

Sin saber si volverás

Without knowing if you will return

Y quizás mañana

And perhaps tomorrow

Ya de mí te olvidarás

You will have already forgotten me

Por eso quiero recordarte

That's why I want to remember you

Como el más bello sueño que he tenido

As the most beautiful dream I have ever had

Y al despertar mañana y no encontrarte

And when I wake up tomorrow and don't find you

Pensar que fuiste un sueño, solo un sueño

To think that you were a dream, just a dream

Un sueño para mí maravilloso

A wonderful dream for me

Que se tiene una vez cada mil noches

That happens once every thousand nights

Y se ha de recordar toda la vida

And will be remembered all my life

Como algo que pasó y aún no se olvida

As something that happened and is still not forgotten

Nuestra historia de amor

Our love story

No la podré olvidar

I will not be able to forget it

Fuiste algo muy bello

You were something very beautiful

Que por mi vida pasó

That passed through my life

El más tierno idilio

The sweetest idyll

Que vivió mi corazón

That my heart lived

Hoy te vas muy lejos

Today you are going very far

Sin saber si volverás

Without knowing if you will return

Y quizás mañana

And perhaps tomorrow

Ya de mí te olvidarás

You will have already forgotten me

Por eso quiero recordarte

That's why I want to remember you

Como el más bello sueño que he tenido

As the most beautiful dream I have ever had

Y al despertar mañana y no encontrarte

And when I wake up tomorrow and don't find you

Pensar que fuiste un sueño, solo un sueño

To think that you were a dream, just a dream

Un sueño para mí maravilloso

A wonderful dream for me

Que se tiene una vez cada mil noches

That happens once every thousand nights

Y se ha de recordar toda la vida

And will be remembered all my life

Como algo que pasó y aún no se olvida

As something that happened and is still not forgotten

...

...

Un sueño para mí maravilloso

A wonderful dream for me

Que se tiene una vez cada mil noches

That happens once every thousand nights

Y se ha de recordar toda la vida

And will be remembered all my life

Como algo que pasó y aún no se olvida

As something that happened and is still not forgotten

Como algo que pasó y aún no se olvida

As something that happened and is still not forgotten

...

  ➔ Future simple is formed with *poder* and infinitive to express future action; object pronoun *la* refers back to *Nuestra historia de amor*.

• Fuiste algo muy bello Que por mi vida pasó

  ➔ Preterite (Simple Past) and Relative Pronoun *que*

  ➔ *Fuiste* is in the preterite tense, describing a completed action in the past. *Que* introduces a relative clause, referring back to *algo muy bello*.

• Hoy te vas muy lejos Sin saber si volverás

  ➔ Present Simple and Subjunctive Mood (Indirect Question)

  ➔ *Te vas* is in the present simple tense describing a current action. *Volverás* is in the future subjunctive, used in the indirect question introduced by *si*.

• Y al despertar mañana y no encontrarte Pensar que fuiste un sueño, solo un sueño

  ➔ Future Subjunctive (hypothetical situation) and Preterite

  ➔ Impersonal 'se' and Future periphrasis (ir a + infinitive)
