"Cenizas de Amor" (Ashes of Love) tells the story of two young lovers who fall head over heels for each other during a study abroad in Spain only to realize, once they returned home, that they had "burned their ship to that distant shore" and were left with only the "ashes of love." "Memories in a jar, dust from shooting stars, once upon a love affair in Spain." Special thanks to my son Joel and his girlfriend Clara for starring in this video we shot at Fort Pickens, Pensacola, Florida.

Lyrics

Today we walk through palaces of Spring

We talk about the things that summer brings

While the grass is tall we will not see the fall

Hand in hand our gypsy voices sing

The more we love the deeper is our pain

Without the walls we sometimes feel the rain

Memories in a jar, dust from shooting stars

Once upon a love affair in Spain

O mi amor recuerdas (oh my love do you remember)

Ese pequeño buzón (that little mailbox)

El hueco en la piedra (the hole in the stone)

Todavía espera (still awaits)

Tu y yo, tu y yo (you and me)

The years go by like water past a stone

sometimes the memories chill us to the bone

just when it seems

that the grass is green

winter comes and covers it with snow

O mi amor recuerdas (oh my love do you remember)

Ese pequeño buzón (that little mailbox)

El hueco en la piedra (the hole in the stone)

Todavía espera (still awaits)

Tu y yo, tu y yo (you and me)

Empty bottle by the door

your camisole upon the floor

we burned our ship

to the distant shore

cenizas de amor

que maravilla amar en Sevilla (how wonderful to love in Seville!)

cada mañana en el puente de triana (every morning on the Triana bridge)

por la ventana vi a las gitanas (I saw gypsies out the window)

La torre de oro, Pages del Coro (the golden tower, Pages del Coro street)

La feria de Abril, el Guadalquivir (The April fair, the Guadalquivir River)
