Lyrics of Te Recuerdo, Amanda - Victor Jara

Te Recuerdo, Amanda (original)

Te recuerdo Amanda
la calle mojada
corriendo a la fábrica
donde trabajaba Manuel.
La sonrisa ancha
la lluvia en el pelo
no importaba nada
ibas a encontrarte con él
con él, con él, con él
son cinco minutos
la vida es eterna
en cinco minutos
suena la sirena
de vuelta al trabajo
y tú caminando
lo iluminas todo
los cinco minutos
te hacen florecer.
Te recuerdo Amanda
la calle mojada
corriendo a la fábrica
donde trabajaba Manuel.
La sonrisa ancha
la lluvia en el pelo
no importaba nada
ibas a encontrarte con él
con él, con él, con él
que partió a la sierra
que nunca hizo daño
que partió a la sierra
y en cinco minutos
quedó destrozado
suena la sirena
de vuelta al trabajo
muchos no volvieron
tampoco Manuel.
Te recuerdo Amanda
la calle mojada
corriendo a la fábrica
donde trabajaba Manuel.

(translation)

I remember you Amanda
the wet street
running to the factory
where Manuel worked.
The wide smile
the rain in the hair
nothing mattered
you were going to meet him
with him, with him, with him
it's five minutes
life is eternal
in five minutes
the siren sounds
back to work
and you walking
you light up everything
the five minutes
they make you bloom
I remember you Amanda
the wet street
running to the factory
where Manuel worked.
The wide smile
the rain in the hair
nothing mattered
you were going to meet him
with him, with him, with him
who went to the mountains
that never hurt
who went to the mountains
and in five minutes
he was devastated
the siren sounds
back to work
many did not return
Neither does Manuel.
I remember you Amanda
the wet street
running to the factory
where Manuel worked.
