El 28 Lyrics

Llega tarde el 28 y nerviosa miro el reloj.
La lluvia conmigo empieza un día de pleno sol.
A lo lejos aparece el recuerdo de un amor,
no me ve camina ausente, hace mucho que pasó.

... y empecé a recordar.

Y paseé por mi mente y encontré,
aquel rincón que te dejé,
donde guardo los momentos que no olvidé.

Revivo aquella noche en que olvidamos lo demás,
el cielo se volvió rojo,
al sol vimos bostezar.
Se ha perdido entre la gente me he perdido yo también.
Ya se ha ido el 28, la memoria de un ayer.

... y empecé a recordar.

Y paseé por mi mente y encontré,
aquel rincón que te dejé,
donde guardo los momentos que no olvidé.

Si, quiero saber si tu también,
recuerdas algo de aquel café,
que espero a veces sin entender, por qué ...

Y paseé por mi mente y encontré,
aquel rincón que te dejé,
donde guardo los momentos que no olvidé.

I played this song last year for my AP Spanish classmates and they liked it. Also found it was a fun one to crank up in my car after school let out... Anyway. Basically I think it's about a girl who's remembering an experience with a past love--presumably the 28th was a significant date as regards the experience, since today is the 28th of some unspecified month which sparks her reminiscence. In case anyone's interested, I'll (somewhat inexpertly) put it in English:

The 28th arrives late and nervously I look at my watch. The rain with me begins a day of perfect sun. (1) In the distance the memory of a love appears, it doesn't see me walking absently, it happened long ago.

...and I began to remember.

And I walked through my mind and I found that corner that I left to you, where I keep the moments that I did not forget.

I relive(2) that night when we forgot the rest [of the world], the sky turned red, we saw the sun yawn. It has lost itself among the people and I have lost myself as well. The 28th has already left, the memory of a yesterday.

...and I began to remember.

And I walked through my mind and I found that corner that I left to you, where I keep the moments that I did not forget.

Yes, I want to know if you also remember something of that café; I hope(3) at times without understanding why...

And I walked through my mind and I found that corner that I left to you, where I keep the moments that I did not forget.

(1) My best guess is that she is saying that although it's a perfectly sunny day, for her it is raining. (2) also, "revive memories of" (3) also, "wait"

I'm a Spanish girl and I'd like to say that the singer of this group told that the 28 is not a date, but the number of the bus or train that the girl of the song takes every day. That's why the lyric says: "llega tarde el 28 y nerviosa miro el reloj" (the 28 arrives late and nervously I look at my watch).
