I don't know if you still remember me
We met back then
You, the sea and the sky
And who brought me to you
You embraced my embraces
Watching that moment
Even though that was the first one
And I kept it for myself
If I could be born again
I'd watch you dawn every day
Smiling like each time
Like that time
I'm going to write you the prettiest song in the world
I'm going to capture our story
In just a second
One day you'll see that this crazy guy hardly forgets
No matter that the years drift by through his life
The day of the farewell
From this beach of my life
I made you a promise
To see you again like that
More than fifty summers
It's been today since we last saw each other
Neither you, nor the sea nor the sky
Nor the one that brought me to you
If I could be born again
I'd watch you dawn every day
Smiling like each time
Like that time
I'm going to write you the prettiest song in the world
I'm going to capture our story
In just a second
And one day you'll see that this crazy guy hardly forgets
No matter that the years drift by through his life
And I'm going to write you the prettiest song in the world
And I'm going to capture our story
In just a second
And one day you'll see that this crazy guy hardly forgets
No matter that the years go by
No matter that the years drift by through your life
Your life
Your life

SONG MEANING

**“La Playa” is the musical equivalent of finding an old seashell in your pocket and suddenly smelling the ocean again. 🌊 The song flashes back to a sun-kissed meeting on a beach where two strangers shared an instant, almost cinematic connection: “tú, el mar y el cielo.” Even though only seconds passed, the memory was sealed like a secret treasure the singer keeps replaying. The beach becomes a time machine filled with first embraces, sunrise smiles and a promise to return.

Half a century races by, yet the feeling refuses to age. The narrator vows to write “the prettiest song in the world” so that their love story can fit inside a single heartbeat of music 🎶. In this way the track celebrates how art can freeze time, outsmart distance and keep passion glowing long after footprints are washed away. It is a nostalgic but hopeful anthem that reminds us that while summers end, memories—and the songs that guard them—can last forever.
