Try to remember

Music: Harvey Schmidt
Lyrics: Tom Jones
Book: Tom Jones
Premiere: Tuesday, May 3, 1960

Try to remember the kind of September
When life was slow and oh, so mellow.
Try to remember the kind of September
When grass was green and grain was yellow.
Try to remember the kind of September
When you were a tender and callow fellow.
Try to remember, and if you remember,
Then follow.

Follow, follow, follow, follow, follow,
Follow, follow, follow, follow.

Try to remember when life was so tender
That no one wept except the willow.
Try to remember when life was so tender
That dreams were kept beside your pillow.
Try to remember when life was so tender
That love was an ember about to billow.
Try to remember, and if you remember,
Then follow.

Follow, follow, follow, follow, follow,
Follow, follow, follow, follow.

Follow, follow, follow, follow, follow,
Follow, follow, follow, follow.

Follow, follow, follow, follow, follow,
Follow, follow, follow, follow.

Deep in December, it's nice to remember,
Although you know the snow will follow.
Deep in December, it's nice to remember,
Without a hurt the heart is hollow.
Deep in December, it's nice to remember,
The fire of September that made us mellow.
Deep in December, our hearts should remember
And follow.

He aquí una traducción aproximada de las primeras dos estrofas:

"Trata de recordar"

Trata de recordar el tipo de Septiembre,

cuando la vida era lenta y oh, tan suave.

Trata de recordar el tipo de Septiembre,

cuando el césped era verde y los granos amarillos.

Trata de recordar el tipo de Septiembre,

cuando Usted era un tierno e inexperto compañero.

Trata de recordar, y si recuerdas,

entonces sigue,

sigue, sigue, sigue, sigue....

Trata de recordar cuando la vida era tan tierna,

cuando nadie lloraba, excepto el suace.

Trata de recordar cuando la vida era tan tierna,

cuando los sueños se mantuvieron al lado de tu almohada.

Trata de recordar cuando la vida era tan tierna

que el amor era una braza a punto de ola

Trata de recordad, y si recuerdas,

entonces sigue,

sigue, sigue, sigue, sigue.....
