Si pudiera
José Luis Rodríguez
If I Could
How to forget,
which path to take
if loving you leaves me with no way out
avoid the memories,
banish your ghost
from my life, from my life.
If I could divide
my affection and not suffer
if I knew how
to not love you,
walk away without crying
dare to betray
if I could, if I could.
If I could
I would pretend
that I never met you,
that it was just a dream
if I could,
I would ask my heart
to lie to me
that it has found
a new love,
if I could.
What madness to allow
you to leave without measuring
the sadness you would leave behind
what madness to not accept
this love and not ask
for you to return, for you to return.
If I could
I would pretend
that I never met you,
that it was just a dream
if I could,
I would ask my heart
to lie to me
that it has found
a new love,
if I could.
Saying goodbye is so hard
to feel that we are no longer two,
how to forget, if there's no way,
how to have faith again
if with your goodbye I am doomed
to suffer for a lifetime.
If I could
I would pretend
that I never met you,
that it was just a dream
if I could,
I would ask my heart
to lie to me
that it has found
a new love,
if I could...
