Qué debo hacer
Alfredo Zitarrosa
What should I do
(Song)
What should I do, my love, so that you
understand that my love loves your youth
that it is loving you today more than tomorrow without love.
What should I do so that in your garden
cultivate a strange flower for me
I can no longer love anyone better, just like this.
What should I do, my love, to believe that in your passion
there is no other woman living
who resembles a little the one I unintentionally evoke.
To love, love, is not just to love me
-you should know all about my gray life-
burning wood yesterday, ashes remain for you.
What should I do, my love, if not to die,
so that by loving me in the end you stop suffering,
taking care of your affection like a child I was happy.
Love, don't love like this again,
you must become strong, I must leave;
your heart without an owner must beat in another dream.
(The versification is by Alfredo Zitarrosa)
