No Me Escribas

Don't write to me, I'd rather not have... Any news from you
I'm scared!... very scared! That your letters might hurt me
That one day they might tell me that you... have forgotten me!
And your kisses and caresses belong to an evil!

You don't know what I've suffered since the day you left!
When I saw that you were no longer there; I realized I was alone
I was angry; I was sad, I don't know what I would have done?
And that night of sadness and pain, I got drunk

Since then I've tried to get rid of your memory
To remove you from my chest; to kill this obsession
But it's useless because the more I tried to forget you
Like a trap, you stuck into my poor heart

I've filled the walls of the apartment with your picture
And your letters, the first ones; the ones you used to send
I still keep them because in them you told me
That you would never forget my love

Don't write to me, I'd rather not have... Any news from you
I'm scared!... very scared! That your letters might hurt me
That one day they might tell me that you... have forgotten me!
And your kisses and caresses belong to an evil!

Yesterday afternoon, at the moment when I was the saddest
Longing for your memories, I received a letter
But when I saw that it was your handwriting, I was afraid to read it!
And trembling, without even opening it, I tore that envelope!
