Sabor a Mi
Eydie Gorme Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tanto tiempo disfrutamos de este amor
Nuestras almas se acercaron tanto así
Que yo guardo tu sabor pero tú llevas también
Sabor a mí

Sin 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 dueña
No soy nada, yo no tengo vanidad
De mi vida doy lo bueno
Soy tan pobre, ¿qué 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 dueña
No soy nada, yo no tengo vanidad
De mi vida doy lo bueno
Soy tan pobre, ¿qué 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
Sabor a mí

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Sabor a mi" by Eydie Gormé describe a lasting love that has left its mark on both parties involved. The opening lines, "Tanto tiempo disfrutamos de este amor" ("We've enjoyed this love for so long"), suggest that the two lovers have had a long, fulfilling relationship. The next line, "Nuestras almas se acercaron tanto así" ("Our souls became so close"), paints a picture of a deep and emotional connection between the two.

"Que yo guardo tu sabor pero tú llevas también/Sabor a mí" ("I keep the taste of you, but you also carry the taste of me") suggests that there is a mutual and equal exchange of love between the two people.


The second stanza continues this theme of reciprocity, with the singer insisting that they do not want to "own" the other person but only share their life and their love. They declare themselves "so poor" that they have nothing to offer but their affection. The song then concludes with the idea that even if thousands of years were to pass, the taste of their love will remain with each person forever.


Overall, the lyrics of "Sabor a mi" present a beautiful and romantic image of love that is lasting and equal, with neither party holding dominance over the other.

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

En la boca llevarás

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.
