Obsesión

What does your gaze say
What strange thing your eyes have
When I look at your photo
A strange obsession stops me

My God, you who are the creator of all the beautiful things in the world
Why don't you listen to my requests today
You made doctors for all the illnesses but why didn't you create one
That can cure
A love sickness

I wish the earth would spin in reverse to make me
Small and be born again
And not have to miss you again or look at you in your photographs
Or carry you melted in my chest as if you were part of me
Barranquilla city of singers, of vallenatos
And accordions, she adorns your streets tell her
That I wish her to be happy
That this is the last song I compose that I don't think I'll fall in love again
But tell me how
You made it black to forget about me

People criticize me because now I'm no longer a partygoer
With your departure, black, I feel colder, I die in silence
Take care of my offspring because you know that I
Love them, my God give me strength to continue
With this song
I remember an October month, your birthday, I swear I try and I haven't
Been able to find the remedy to forget it

I wish the earth would spin in reverse to make me
Small and be born again
And not have to miss you again or look at you in your photographs
Or carry you melted in my chest as if you were part of me
Barranquilla city of singers, of vallenatos
And accordions, she adorns your streets tell her
That I wish her to be happy
That this is the last song I compose that I don't think I'll fall in love again
But tell me how
You made it black to forget about me
