The Boat
La Barca (The Boat)
Lyrics: Roberto Cantoral
Song: Luis Miguel
They say absence makes the heart forget
But I don’t understand this reasoning
Because I will forever be
Captive to the whims of your heart.
You were able to shed light on my thoughts
Showing me the truth I always dreamed of
When you drove away my sorrows
On that very first night we made love.
But today my shores are pounded with bitterness
Because you must sail away
To cross other seas of madness
Careful I don’t become the ship wreck in your life.
When the light of the sun begins to dim
And you become tired of drifting
Remember that I will forever wait
Until you decide to return.

Miley...thanks for the thanks. Hope you liked the translation. The opening line of this beautiful song: "...la distancia es el olvido," is very hard to translate and at the same time convey the "feeling" you get when you hear it in Spanish. It's basically the opposite feeling in English when you say: "absence makes the heart grow fonder."
