Hasta la vista
Sylvia Vrethammar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The sound of laughter filled the air
Inviting us to come and share fiesta
Suddenly I caught your eye
And in the streets the people cried Olé
Dancing to a thousand dances
Nothing mattered just to take our chances
Now it's over, no regrets
Hasta la vista
Mister, I'm missing you madly
Hasta la vista
Maybe you miss me too
Hasta la vista
Means I would run to you gladly
Though we're apart
My heart belongs to you
When the carnival was through
I picked a rose and gave it to you
Just beside a little hacienda
Then you carried me inside
And there within the candlelight, Olé
Gently with our bodies swaying
To the music soft guitars were playing
In the meantime tenderly we kissed
And went our different ways
Hasta la vista
Mister, I'm missing you madly
Hasta la vista
Maybe you miss me too
Hasta la vista
Means I would run to you gladly
Though we're apart
My heart belongs to you.
