Te Aconsejo Que Me Olvides

I received your last letter,
in which you told me:
"I advise you to forget me,
everything has died between us.
I only ask for my portrait
and all my letters,
you already know it's not fair
that you still keep those".
Today you recognize the fault,
you're afraid I might say...
that I tell the one you know
about our intimate friendship;
I'm very manly, I don't sell you out,
I'm not capable of intrigue!
I understand that if I spoke,
I would break your happiness.

But you won't deny
that when you were mine,
you said you loved me,
that you wouldn't forget me;
and blinded by affection
you kissed me on the mouth,
as if you were crazy...
thirsty, baby, for love.

I have no problem
sending you all that,
however, even if you don't want to,
something of yours must remain.
The void you left
and the warmth of those kisses,
you know well that I can never
return them to you.
I do it for your own good,
avoiding a commitment,
I sacrifice my affection
for your surname and your honor;
I resign myself to my fate,
since that's how destiny wanted it,
but remember well, my dear,
that I do this for your love!
