Viva Forever

"Viva Forever"

Do you still remember
How we used to be
Feeling together, believe in whatever
My love has said to me
Both of us were dreamers
Young love in the sun
Felt like my saviour, my spirit I gave ya
We'd only just begun

Hasta mañana
Always be mine

Viva forever, I'll be waiting
Everlasting, like the sun
Live forever,
For the moment
Ever searching for the one

Yes I still remember,
Every whispered word
The touch of your skin, giving life from within
Like a love song that I'd heard
Slipping through our fingers,
Like the sands of time
Promises made, every memory saved
Has reflections in my mind

Hasta mañana
Always be mine


Back where I belong now,
Was it just a dream
Feelings unfold, they will never be sold
And the secret's safe with me

hasta mañanae
Always be mine

Love this song by spice girls..i remember watching this video lot ,long time back..on music channels on tv.

the video was strange at that time for me..in the video two kids are roaming in woods..and suddenly some fairies appear..and one kid is fascinated by them,follows them and disappears in a cube like thing with fairies,..the other friend doesn't knows where his friend went,all he knows is he went into a world from where he will never come back and it will remain a mystery.

whether it is the result of death, disease, or just separation. he struggles with his emotions, which is symbolized through him struggling to solve the rubik's cube. By the end of the video, he places the rubik's cube in a case and throws it into a giant vending machine, indicating tha he  will keep the memories of him always.

The big vending machine at the end symbolizes a memory bank,and cubes in it memories.

the song is about  losing someone u love/like...and u still cant figure out How.

hasta manana in spanish means.will see u tomorrow..
