Maybe? (Yes!)

I love this Ricky Martin song, and I used to know it almost by heart in Spanish. A totally inadequate English translation of the lyrics is below the video.

After you click on the arrow, the song may load in bits and pieces. If so, just let it go all the way to the end and then play it again. It should play straight through without interruptions. (Maybe?)

The title, Tal vez (Maybe), is particularly interesting today.



Maybe it's that this story already has an end.
I don't know why today I feel you so far away from me.
And even though I try again
Maybe it will be too late, there's nothing more to do,
And I can't believe that the time we both had
Maybe has run out.
Maybe, it was I who never gave you an entire night
Maybe, I never gave you what you hoped for
And I wasn't there when you needed me.
Maybe I didn't listen to you, maybe I neglected you,
Maybe I forgot that I love you
Maybe........ ay,ay,ay,ay
Maybe, now there's nothing more to talk about.
Maybe, this time we need time to think.
And I, for myself, propose trying again, thinking again.
The more I think I can't think of one reason
To go on without you.
Maybe, it was I who never gave you an entire night.
Maybe, I never gave you what you hoped for,
And I wasn't there when you needed me.
Maybe I didn't listen to you, maybe I neglected you,
Maybe I forgot that I love you.
Maybe life surprised me from behind,
And tore and tore until the bond broke.
Maybe I never understood what you were for me.
Maybe I never knew who I loved...
And I, for myself, propose trying again, thinking again.
The more I think I can't think of one reason
To go on without you.
Maybe, it was I who never gave you an entire night.
Maybe, I never gave you what you hoped for,
And I wasn't there when you needed me.
Maybe I didn't listen to you, maybe I neglected you,
Maybe I forgot that I love you.
Maybe...

The first time I saw his eyes and then saw him dance, I knew.
