Para Que Vuelvas

May you not find love wherever you go
May everything around you be desolation,
May your friends laugh behind your back
If you're thirsty, may they not even give you a glass of water,
May you beg and not receive any favors.

For you to come back, I say it just for you to come back,
May you not find anyone else who understands you
And feel a strong urge to cry.

For you to come back, I say it just for you to come back,
That you love me, that you devour me and drink me up
And thus calm my urge to cry.

May you stumble and not find anyone to help you
May bees sting you from a beehive,
May a thousand daggers pierce your chest
May you fall ill with the worst of all illnesses
And sail through a sea of loneliness.

For you to come back, I say it just for you to come back,
May you not find anyone else who understands you
And feel a strong urge to cry.

For you to come back, I say it just for you to come back,
That you love me, that you devour me and drink me up
And thus calm my urge to cry.
