Spanish term

mis recuerdos y el eco se pusieron de acuerdo para recordármelo

Spanish to English Art/Literary General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters In A Novel
Contexto:

Mis recuerdos aprovecharon para hacerme rememorar aquellos maravillosos años en los que Daren estaba presente en nuestras vidas.

—¡Qué tiempo más maravilloso!—dije en voz alta.

Mis recuerdos y el eco se pusieron de acuerdo para recordármelo, una vez y otra, haciendo retumbar mis palabras en la soledad de la alcoba y en la de mi alma.

Gracias,

Barbara

agree Charles Davis : I like "conspired" very much. (I think I'd be inclined to expand it to "the echo of my voice". But the exact phrasing in these things is very much a matter of personal preference.)

agree Adoración Bodoque Martínez : I also like "conspired" better.

my memories and the echo of my voice coincided to remember me of that

my take

'That' instead of 'this' because I am referring to something already mentioned rather than to something to be mentioned
