En Tu Ausencia
Omara Portuondo
In Your Absence
And in your absence, I burned your photos
I tossed your letters, broke it off with you
I tried to give my life some meaning
Where there'd be no traces or signs of you
But I can't do it
And in your absence
I even stopped hanging out with our friends
I took different streets, walked new paths
Trying to erase moments we've lived
And I just can't forget you
And in your absence
I asked for peace, but it’s always war over the wine
I even tried to drown my sorrows in the wine
On the worst days, I didn’t rule out suicide
Oh, where have you gone?
And even though you left me, I tell you, my heart
Without you by my side, I'm losing my mind
And in your absence, loneliness has become my enemy
And sometimes for no reason, I lose my cool
And I tried and keep trying not to give up
And I just can't forget you
And even though you left me, I tell you, my heart
Without you by my side, I'm losing my mind
How I remember you!
How I remember!...
How I remember you!
How I remember!...
How I remember you! in this absence
How I remember!...
My conscience is gnawing at me
How I remember you! in this absence
How I remember!...
I can't forget your presence
I swore I finally forgot you
I thought I had erased you from here
But damn, I was wrong
I swore I finally forgot you
I thought I had erased you from here
But damn, you're still here
I didn't forget you, no, no, I didn't forget you
I didn't forget you, no, no, you're still here
I didn't forget you, no, no, I didn't forget you
I didn't forget you, no, no
Hey... how I remember you
So much it hurts here, here, here
I tried so hard to erase you that I almost erased myself
How I remember you! in this absence
How I remember!...
How I remember you! in this absence
