Olvidar
Fernando Delgadillo
Forget
Today I feel cold
For the length of these days
For the width of the road
That I have lost and don't know
For the hours I haven't seen
For your absence and mine
For the rain of this October
For the cold that shelters it among the sighs
That the wind has taken with my faith
Your distance is the shipwreck
That struck upon my life
The most tired dawns, the saddest farewells
The loneliest nights that I had reason
And though I cry out to sanity to free me from these longings
I am a victim of the impulse of my own heart
Oh, if I were to tell you about sorrows and reasons
For which my songs have been burdened by distances
But let time tell it because today I make you this promise, my love
I will forget you with all its consequences
And rid myself of this past that I can't stop dragging
I will forget your name
Even if it's the last thing I do
Even if it's the last thing that hides me from distance
And I hope that on my path nostalgia doesn't overwhelm me
Because even if I die of sorrow, I will forget about you
And let the night catch me and let the storms take me
If I give reason again to the sense that reminds you
It repeats and repeats and pronounces again
That name of yours, the light that burned in the room
How you loved me, how you needed me, how everything suddenly disappeared
One morning I woke up far from you, far from everything that was me
I will forget each night walking on the edge of your street
In the light of those lanterns that should never have been
The light that will guide my steps to the beat of memories
That inflame my blood and create between fever and flights
A fire in which my soul burns when it dreams of your skin
If one day I told you that my hands don't forget the touch of your hands
Your fiery gaze, I will truly forget you
Today forgets that it forgets you, I will collapse my dreams to scatter the ruins
To free you and let nothing be in your place
Because if I don't do it this way, if I start to remember
With the light of your miracle, I wouldn't be able to love again
