Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
besar siempre es besar
igual que suspirar
en lo fundamental sera
que el tiempo va
Amante como tu
diran que eres "mi luz"
no importa lo que pasara
el tiempo va
algunas canciones
no tiene ayer
los corazones
llenos de pasion
buscan y encuentran
alguien a quien querer
no lo podran negar
la historia se repite
librar con las pasiones
triunfar o fracasar
el mundo "es para siempre buen"
y el tiempo va
la historia se repite
librar con las pasiones
triunfar o fracasar
el mundo "es para siempre joven"
y el tiempo va.
The lyrics to Rhythms Del Mundo feat. Ibrahim Ferrer's song "As Time Goes By" speak about the importance of never forgetting certain fundamental aspects of love and how time moves forward, regardless of what happens. The first verse emphasizes the significance of kissing and sighing, reminding listeners that these simple gestures are powerful expressions of love. The chorus discusses the inevitability of change in relationships, but acknowledges that the passing of time cannot fully erase the passion that was once felt. Even though some songs may not have a past or history, the hearts of those who are full of passion will always seek and find someone to love. The final verse of the song talks about how history repeats itself, and individuals are forced to confront their passions, whether they triumph or fail. The song concludes with the idea that the world is forever young, and time continues to move on.
One interesting fact about "As Time Goes By" is that it was originally composed by Herman Hupfeld in 1931 for the Broadway musical "Everybody's Welcome." The song was later popularized by the 1942 film "Casablanca," where it was sung by Dooley Wilson. In addition, the song has been covered by various artists over the years, including Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong, and Frank Sinatra.
Another interesting fact is that Rhythms Del Mundo is a collaborative project that brings together Cuban musicians and international artists to create mash-ups of popular songs. The project's proceeds go towards supporting climate change education, mitigation, and adaptation projects in developing countries.
The chords for "As Time Goes By" are G, Em7, A7, D7, G, Em7, A7, D7, G, B7, C, G, E7, Am7, D7, G.
