[Lyric] Days From Long Ago (Alejandro Rodriguez (Writer))

[ROSALYN]
Days, they roll on too long
No sun to keep my life from falling apart
And I just sit and wait for the world to pass me by
This world, cold and wild

[YOUNG ROSALYN]
Faces of children, shocked and scared
The war out there is too much to bear
I close my eyes and think of home
And mom

[ROSALYN]
Days of plenty, nights of fun
Dancing in the dark 'til the morning comes
Mami takes my hand and teaches me to dance
And the feel the music

[YOUNG ROSALYN]
I stare out the window, wond'ring where she is now
[ROSALYN]
I ask myself, "Will we meet again somehow?"

[BOTH]
'Cause all I have to hold

[ROSALYN]
Are the days from long ago

[YOUNG ROSALYN]
Are you there, mami?
Mami, arе you there?
I am lost without you
I don't know wherе to go

[ROSALYN]
Mami, dónde estás?

[YOUNG ROSALYN, (ROSALYN), BOTH]
Are you there, mami? (Are you there, mami?)
Mami, are you there? (Are you there?)
Can't go on without you
I need you here to hold me close (I need you so)
I miss those days from long ago
But those days, they fade
[ROSALYN]
Then they're gone
Arrived in Berlin, a foreign new land

[YOUNG ROSALYN]
Didn't understand one bit of what was said
Papi finds me and takes me to his house

[ROSALYN]
A man who's dry and contained

[YOUNG ROSALYN]
Says "You'll be safe in this place"

[BOTH]
And the tears roll down my face

[ROSALYN]
The girl I knew, I couldn't let her go
But there's no going back
No other way around
Papi didn't understand and we fought day and night
He'd scream and shout, I'd cry because I knew he was right
Changed my name
Bought new clothes
Learned the tongue
Locked away
These memories
Locked away for good
[YOUNG ROSALYN]
I know I can't go back to the way things were
If I'm safe, why does my heart still ache?

[YOUNG ROSALYN, ROSALYN, BOTH]
Are you there, mami? ('Cause there's still pain)
Mami, are you there?
I need you here right now
'Cause I have no dawn and these wounds, they fade
But the scars still remain
'Cause they're still (Are you)
There, mami
Mami, are you there?
I've been alone for too long
I miss the dancing and being free
How could they take that away from me?
Everyday (I sit and pray)
Everyday
All I have to hold
Are the days from long ago
