Translation of the song lyrics Recuerdos de Cristal - Dante

Recuerdos de Cristal (original)

I can sense the chemistry
When you’re standing close to me
I feel like a ship that’s lost at sea
I can sense the chemistry
When you’re standing close to me
I feel like a ship that’s lost at sea
Soy un hombre como tantos, alguien normal y corriente
Sin dinero, con trabajo, con familia y con mi gente
Consecuente con mis actos, responsable de mis hechos
Con mi vida hecha vivo tranquilo bajo mi techo
Hoy empieza un nuevo día y siempre la misma rutina
Me levanto, voy al baño y desayuno en la cocina
Pero hoy algo es distinto y no sé bien cómo explicarlo
Siento que no estoy tan bien y que me falta algo
Siento que me olvido de algo que es muy importante
Me hago un poco el loco y pienso «vaya tontería»
Pienso que no pasa nada y que no es preocupante
Pero se hace preocupante cuando ya es día tras día
Mi mujer me lo pregunta «¿estás bien, cariño mío?»
Sonriendo le respondo «Por supuesto, ¿qué te crees?»
Pero lo que ella no sabe es que me estoy haciendo un lío
Y que teniéndola delante no recuerdo bien quién es
I can sense the chemistry
When you’re standing close to me
I feel like a ship that’s lost at sea
I can sense the chemistry
When you’re standing close to me
I feel like a ship that’s lost at sea
Según pasaban los meses me notaba más distante
De mi esposa, de mis hijos y del hombre que eras antes
No entendía qué pasaba, pero salí por la puerta
Ya ni el miedo me frenaba y yo buscaba mi respuesta
Sin saber lo que ocurría me presenté en esa clínica
Y sentí gritar mi alma frente a palabras tan duras
Sabía que perdía la memoria cada día
Y que el Alzheimer se extendía hasta dejarlo todo a oscuras
No hay marcha atrás, toca asumir lo que se acerca
Toca seguir, vivir con los míos bien cerca
Disfrutar cada momento que nos venga
Aprovechar cada oportunidad que tenga
Pero créeme si te digo que este miedo me consume
Porque siento que me miento a mí mismo en mi propia nube
Porque siento que mi vida da mil vueltas de campana
Y porque temo aprender algo hoy y olvidarlo mañana
I can sense the chemistry
When you’re standing close to me
I feel like a ship that’s lost at sea
I can sense the chemistry
When you’re standing close to me
I feel like a ship that’s lost at sea
Cada día llevo peor eso de no saber quién soy
Saber que ellos me ven perderme y van a echarme en falta
Cada vez llevo peor lo de no saber dónde estoy
Y tras mucho meditarlo con valor hago una carta
«Tú cuídate, mi amor, tú cuídate bastante
Porque tienes a dos hijos que sacar hacia adelante
Diles que estudien, que sean gente de provecho
Que vigilen sus espaldas y que saquen siempre pecho
Que es mejor partirse el lomo trabajando y estudiando
Que no hacer nada en la vida, que el futuro está a la vuelta
Que vale más perder mil horas en un cuarto
Dando tiempo de tu vida y tu vida quede resuelta
Que orgulloso de vosotros, os recuerdo que os adoro
Que no puedo poner precio a lo que vale más que el oro
Que le deis más tiempo al tiempo que el tiempo todo lo cura
No recuerdo ni mi nombre, pero os quiero con locura, os lo juro»
I can sense the chemistry
When you’re standing close to me
I feel like a ship that’s lost at sea
I can sense the chemistry
When you’re standing close to me
I feel like a ship that’s lost at sea
I can sense the chemistry
When you’re standing close to me
I feel like a ship that’s lost at sea

Recuerdos de Cristal (translation)

I can sense the chemistry
When you're standing close to me
I feel like a ship that's lost at sea
I can sense the chemistry
When you're standing close to me
I feel like a ship that's lost at sea
I am a man like so many, someone normal and ordinary
Without money, with work, with family and with my people
Consistent with my actions, responsible for my actions
With my life made I live calmly under my roof
Today begins a new day and always the same routine
I get up, go to the bathroom and have breakfast in the kitchen
But today something is different and I don't know how to explain it
I feel that I am not so well and that I am missing something
I feel that I am forgetting something that is very important
I act a little crazy and think "what a nonsense"
I think that nothing happens and that it is not worrying
But it becomes worrying when it's already day after day
My wife asks me "are you okay, my darling?"
Smiling, I reply “Of course, what do you think?”
But what she doesn't know is that I'm making a mess
And that having her in front of her I don't remember who she is
I can sense the chemistry
When you're standing close to me
I feel like a ship that's lost at sea
I can sense the chemistry
When you're standing close to me
I feel like a ship that's lost at sea
As the months passed I felt more distant
Of my wife, my children and the man you were before
I didn't understand what was going on, but I walked out the door
Not even fear stopped me and I was looking for my answer
Without knowing what was happening, I went to that clinic
And I felt my soul scream at such harsh words
I knew I was losing my memory every day
And that Alzheimer's spread until it left everything in the dark
There is no going back, it's time to accept what is coming
It's time to continue, live with mine very close
Enjoy every moment that comes to us
Take every chance you get
But believe me when I tell you that this fear consumes me
'Cause I feel like I'm lying to myself on my own cloud
Because I feel like my life is going round and round
And because I'm afraid to learn something today and forget it tomorrow
I can sense the chemistry
When you're standing close to me
I feel like a ship that's lost at sea
I can sense the chemistry
When you're standing close to me
I feel like a ship that's lost at sea
Every day I get worse about not knowing who I am
Know that they see me lose myself and they will miss me
Every time I get worse about not knowing where I am
And after much meditation with courage I write a letter
«You take care of yourself, my love, you take care of yourself
Because you have two children to raise
Tell them to study, to be useful people
That they watch their backs and that they always stick out their chests
That it is better to break your back working and studying
That doing nothing in life, that the future is around the corner
That it is better to waste a thousand hours in a room
Giving time of your life and your life is resolved
How proud of you, I remind you that I adore you
That I cannot put a price on what is worth more than gold
That you give more time to time that time heals everything
I don't even remember my name, but I love you madly, I swear it»
I can sense the chemistry
When you're standing close to me
I feel like a ship that's lost at sea
I can sense the chemistry
When you're standing close to me
I feel like a ship that's lost at sea
I can sense the chemistry
When you're standing close to me
I feel like a ship that's lost at sea
