No Volveré

When you are far from me,
when you want me to be with you
you will not find a memory of me
nor will you have more loves with me.

I swear I won't return
even if life shatters me,
if once I loved you madly
you will be dismissed from my soul.

I won't return
I swear to you by God who watches me,
I tell you crying with rage:
I won't return
I won't stop
until I see that my tears have formed
a stream of flooded oblivion
where I will drown your memory.

We were clouds that the wind separated,
we were stones that always clashed,
drops of water that the sun dried up,
drinking bouts that we never finished.

I'm leaving on the train of absence,
my ticket has no return,
what you have of me I give to you
but I return your kisses to you.

I won't return
I swear to you by God who watches me,
I tell you crying with rage:
I won't return
I won't stop
until I see that my tears have formed
a stream of flooded oblivion
where I will drown your memory.
