Sylvia and Salvador: Music
La Primera Vez
(Sylvia & Salvador)
June, 2009
Music: Salvador Reyes, Spanish lyrics: Juan M. Morones, English translation: Sylvia Wagers
Life is full of extraordinary "first" experiences, all of them memorable--especially when they are our first experiences with love...
11) La Primera Vez (For the First Time)
It feels more like a year has passed.
Yet it was only yesterday that you left.And although I will not admit that I miss you,I would like to see you again.Memory is a strange thing,
And pleasure is so fleeting.
It seems like a whole book of history
Yet it was only yesterday that you left.
It was only yesterday that, without uttering
A single word, our souls witnessed
The eclipse of two bodies, our bodies,
For the first time.
And why should we have spoken?
There was a communion of our souls
From the very first time.
