This place feels so unfamiliar
And yet I know it well
I think I used to belong here
But the only way I can tell
Is that I miss you still
And I cannot find you here
You left me tattered and torn
Just like that Sweet Spanish doll
(Sweet Spanish…Sweet Spanish…) doll
I went down to the alley way
And found that you were gone
[Spanish:] si nunca te fueras
You left no word no message
I still don't know
Exactly what went wrong
[Spanish:] lágrimas
But now no matter where I go
I always seem to return
[Spanish:] búscame
To where you left me tattered and torn
[Spanish:] yo estoy rompido mi muñeca
Just like that sweet Spanish doll
(Sweet spanish…Sweet Spanish doll)
A memory gilded in red and gold
[Spanish:] del oro
Beauty guarded and never sold
[Spanish:] cuídame
I keep it with me wherever I go
And I love you still
[Spanish:] Recuérdame
No matter how a story will unfold
You know I always will
[Spanish:] Rescátame
Have part of you here
In this souvenir
(Spanish doll)
A stranger in this world without you
Is all that I can ever be
All I know that's pure and clear
You left it with me here
In this souvenir
Spanish… [fading]
Spanish…
Spanish…
…Doll
[Father:]
And here is father and lovely daughter, shot down in her mistaken flight…
(Sweet Spanish…Sweet)
[Father:]
….unaware yet how her life will be affected by this…
[Spanish:] Búscame
…experience.
(Sweet…Sweet…)
[Girl:]
Mommy, how come you cry?
[Father:]
While what was really happened was in the years of her childhood…
(Sweet Spanish…Sweet)
[Father:]
Perhaps that is where the real story is: in her family house.
[Girl:]
How come it's a house of leaves?
(Sweet Spanish…Sweet Spanish)
[Girl:]
How come it's a house of leaves?
[Spanish:] Recuérdame
[Applause]
