I was so glad to get to write this song for the Adventure Time miniseries Stakes, and so honored to be cast as Marceline’s mother!
This song is based off an early memory of losing a stuffed animal, a black rabbit. I found it a year later, laying on it’s back in the garden. The sun had faded it’s underside, so that it now had a white belly. It wasn’t better, or worse, just different. It was the first time I realized that things will change no matter what, even if they’re left alone, and stay completely still.
Thanks so much to Adam Muto for thinking of me for this! And to Tim Kiefer for his wonderful final arrangement!
Recuérdame, hoy me tengo que ir mi amor Recuérdame, no llores por favor Te llevo en mi corazón y cerca me tendrás A solas yo te cantaré soñando en regresar
Recuerdame, aunque tenga que emigrar Recuérdame, si mi guitarra oyes llorar Ella con su triste canto te acompañará Hasta que en mis brazos estés Recuérdame
English lyrics:
Remember me Though I have to say goodbye Remember me Don’t let it make you cry For even if I’m far away I hold you in my heart I sing a secret song to you each night we are apart
Remember me Though I have to travel far Remember me Each time you hear a sad guitar Know that I’m with you the only way that I can be Until you’re in my arms again Remember me
Don’t listen to this while imagining young Coco with her head resting on her folded arms, watching a small copper music box play on her bedside table, a tiny painted mariachi figurine with a white guitar just like her father’s slowly turning in place as the familiar song plays.
