Sabor a Mi
Eydie Gormé Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
nuestras almas se acercaron tanto así
que yo guardo tu sabor pero tú llevas también
sabor a mí.
Si negaras mi presencia en tu vivir
bastaría con abrazarte y conversar
tanta vida yo te di que por fuerza llevas ya
No pretendo ser tu dueña
No soy nada yo no tengo vanidad
De mi vida doy lo bueno
soy tan pobre que otra cosa puedo dar.
Pasarán más de mil años muchos más
Yo no sé si tenga amor la eternidad
pero allá como aquí en la boca llevarás
sabor a mí.
No pretendo ser tu dueña
No soy nada yo no tengo vanidad
De mi vida doy lo bueno
soy tan pobre que otra cosa puedo dar.
Pasarán más de mil años muchos más
Yo no sé si tenga amor la eternidad
pero allá como aquí en la boca llevarás
sabor a mí.

LA LETRA:
Tanto tiempo disfrutamos de este amor
Nuestras almas se acercaron tanto así
Que yo guardo tu sabor
Pero tu llevas también
Sabor a mí
Si negaras mi presencia en tu vivir
Bastaría con abrazarte y conversar
Tanta vida yo te di
Que por fuerza tienes ya
Sabor a mí
No pretendo ser tu dueño
No soy nada yo no tengo vanidad
De mi vida doy lo bueno
Soy tan pobre, que otra cosa puedo dar
Pasarán más de mil años, muchos más
Yo no sé si tenga amor la eternidad
Pero allá, tal como aquí
En la boca llevarás
Sabor a mí
No pretendo ser tu dueño
No soy nada yo no tengo vanidad
De mi vida doy lo bueno
Soy tan pobre, que otra cosa puedo dar
Pasarán más de mil años, muchos más
Yo no sé si tenga amor la eternidad
Pero allá, tal como aquí
En la boca llevarás
Sabor a mí

For so long we have delighted in this love
Our souls were drawn together, oh so close
That I keep the taste of you
But you also hold within
A taste of me.
If you would deny my presence in your life
I’m content with an embrace and conversation
So much life I’ve given you
That by force you now retain
A taste of me.
I don’t pretend to dominate you
I am nothing, and I have no vanity
Out of my life I give goodness
I’m so poor that I don’t know what else to give.
Though a thousand years may pass, and many more
I don’t know if love will be there evermore
But beyond, as well as here
In your mouth there’ll always be
A taste of me.

This is the song of songs for my parents, and most of all latinos across the last 50 years. I grew up watching my Mom and Dad dance to this-it is a beautiful memory.
