No volveré
Miguel Aceves Mejía
I won't come back
When you find yourself far from yourself,
when you want me to be with you
you won't find a memory of me
nor will you have more loves with me.
I swear I won't come back
even if life shatters me,
if once I loved you madly
you will be dismissed from my soul.
I won't come back
I swear to you by God who watches me,
I tell you crying with rage:
I won't come back
I won't stop
until I see that my tears have formed
a stream of flooded forgetfulness
where I will drown your memory.
We were clouds that the wind separated,
we were stones that always clashed,
drops of water that the sun dried up,
drinking bouts that we never finished.
I'm leaving on the train of absence,
my ticket has no return,
what you have of me I give you
but I return your kisses.
