Tomo Y Obligo

Take and Force
Take and force, pour yourself a drink
'Cause today I need to drown the memories
Without a friend, far from home,
I want to spill my sorrows in your heart.
Drink with me, and if my voice gets
A little shaky now and then while I sing
It's not that I'm crying 'cause she deceives me
I know a man shouldn't cry.
If the grass could talk, it would tell this plain
How much I loved her, with what fever I adored.
How many times on my knees, trembling, I knelt,
Under the bare tree where I kissed her one day...
And now seeing her degraded, given to other arms,
It felt like a stab to me, and I was blinded by jealousy...
And I swear to you still, I can't convince myself
How I managed to hold back if I just didn't kill her...
Take and force, pour yourself a drink,
It's better not to talk about women
All they do, my friend, is pay you back poorly
And today my experience can confirm that.
Take this advice, don't fall in love,
And if you ever get the chance to shoot
Stay strong, buddy, suffer, don't cry,
'Cause a real man shouldn't cry.
If the grass could talk, it would tell this plain
How much I loved her, with what fever I adored.
How many times on my knees, trembling, I knelt,
Under the bare tree where I kissed her one day...
And now seeing her degraded, given to other arms,
It felt like a stab to me, and I was blinded by jealousy...
And I swear to you still, I can't convince myself
How I managed to hold back if I just didn't kill her...
