Lyrics
Te recuerdo Amanda
La calle mojada
Corriendo a la fabrica
Donde trabajaba Manuel.
La sonrisa ancha
La lluvia en el pelo
No importaba nada
Ibas a encontrarte
Con el, con el, con el, con el, con el,
Son cinco minutos
La vida es eterna en cinco minutos.
Suena la sirena
De vuelta al trabajo
Y tu caminando
Lo iluminas todo
Los cinco minutos
Te hacen florecer.
La sonrisa ancha
La lluvia en el pelo
No importaba nada
Ibas a encontrarte
Con el, con el, con el, con el, con el,
Que partio a la sierra
Que nunca hizo dano
Que partio a la sierra
Y en cinco minutos
Quedo destrozado.
Suena la sirena
De vuelta al trabajo
Muchos no volvieron
Tampoco Manuel.
Lyrics translation
I remember you, Amanda.
The wet street
Running to the factory
Where Manuel worked.
The broad smile
The rain on the hair
It didn't matter.
You were going to meet
With him, with him, with him, with him, with him,
It's five minutes.
Life is eternal in five minutes.
The siren sounds
Back to work
And you walking
You light it all up
The five minutes
They make you bloom.
The broad smile
The rain on the hair
It didn't matter.
You were going to meet
With him, with him, with him, with him, with him,
Who set off to the sierra
That never did any harm
Who set off to the sierra
And in five minutes
I'm devastated.
The siren sounds
Back to work
Many did not return
Neither Does Manuel.
