When they speak to you of love....

[Xipe Totec]

(sorry, I'm in a sappy mood tonight)

When they speak to you of love, and hopes for the future
and they offer you the sun and a sky to go with it
if you remember me, don't say a word
because you will feel what true love was.

And if they want to know about your past
you will have to say a lie
tell them you come from a strange world
that you don't know how to cry
that you don't know of love
and that you have never loved.

Because wherever I go
I will speak of your love
as a golden dream
and forgetting all rancor
I will never admit your goodbye was my downfall

And if they want to know, about my past
I will have to say another lie
I will tell them I come from a strange world
that I don't know pain
that I triumphed in love
and that I have never cried.

- Jose Alfredo Jimenez

(Sung by Juan Manuel Serrat)

cuando te hablen de amor y de ilusiones
y te ofrezcan un sol y un cielo entero
si te acuerdas de mi no me menciones
porque vas a sentir amor del bueno

Y si quieren saber de tu pasado
es preciso decir una mentira
di que vienes de alla de un mundo raro
que no sabes llorar
que no entiendes de amor
y que nunca has amado

porque yo adonde voy
hablare de tu amor
como un sueño dorado
y olvidando el rencor
no dire que tu adios me volvio desgraciado

y si quieren saber de mi pasado
es preciso decir otra mentira
les dire que llegue de un mundo raro
que no se del dolor
que triunfe en el amor
y que nunca he llorado

Joan Manuel Serrat is a cultural icon and a prodigious song writer in his own right.

To Hear this giant of Spain honor a Mexican song writer really touched me.
