No Pude Olvidarte

I Couldn't Forget You
It was so easy to forget you,
at least that's what I thought,
after all,
how much you meant to me,
that's what I thought.
As you loved me since I was a child,
I got used to you,
like a routine,
I saw your way of being,
I was wrong.
And I left for the city thinking,
that everything would be like on TV,
where you see boys kissing,
beautiful women.
I dreamed of enjoying life,
without caring about what you felt,
after all, you weren't important,
that's what I believed.
And watching her enjoy,
but it was momentary,
then it tormented me,
because I felt empty.
I saw the little birds,
showing love,
I thought of the abundance,
in your heart.
I told myself I'll return to my town,
I'll ask for forgiveness,
and I'll accept like any friend,
her conditions.
That I'll fight to win her affection,
because I sense I've already lost it,
just for acting like a weak child,
silly and immature,
silly and immature.
(...)
I returned to the town with my head down,
I was trembling, I won't deny,
after all,
today I was afraid to learn,
will they understand.
Seeing me, she threw herself into my arms,
tears sprang from her eyes,
while she cried,
desperately she kissed me,
I didn't understand.
And I hugged her tightly to my chest,
my heart wanted to burst,
and like a madman I showered her with kisses,
I came back to life.
I said my love, I want you to forgive me,
I admit I was selfish,
but now I want to change your pains,
for a thousand smiles.
I always remembered you,
and I was afraid,
that you would forget me,
replace me with another.
I saw the little birds,
showing love,
I thought of the abundance,
in your heart.
That's why today I have returned to my town,
I have asked you to forgive me,
and I will accept like any friend,
your conditions.
That's why today I have returned to my town,
I have asked you to forgive me,
and I will accept like any friend,
your conditions.
