In Spanish we have "reflexive" verbs, such as "DESPEDIRSE". With these verbs (despedirse=to say goodbye, llamarse=to be named, levantarse=to get up, vestirse=to get dressed...) we write two pronouns. Normally, these are verbs whose direct object is the same as its subject. For example: YO ME despido de mi madre (I say goodbye to my mother). The correct preposition is "de". TÚ TE despides (you say goodbye) ÉL SE despide (he says goodbye) NOSOTROS NOS despedimos (we say goodbye) VOSOTROS OS despedís (you say goodbye) ELLOS SE despiden (they say goodbye) But we have also the verb "despedir" which means "to fire", and it is not reflexive. For example: "Él despide a su empleado" (he fires his employee). About "RECORDAR". If the song says "Me recuerdas", the subject is "you", as the conjugation in present would be like follows: yo recuerdo tú recuerdas él recuerda nosotros recordamos vosotros recordáis ellos recuerdan Then: ME recuerdas = you remember ME me recuerdo = I remember me (And this doesn't make sense, of course you remember yourself!) me recuerda = it reminds me (Why not "you remember me"? Because "recuerda" is third person singular in present, then the subject is "it". If it was "you", we would say "recuerdas".) me recuerda a ti = it reminds me of you Hope this can help you.
