La Tortura (Alternate Version)

Torture (Alternate Version)

Oh, my dear
Save the poetry
Keep your joy for yourself

I don't ask that every day be sunny
I don't ask that every Friday be a party.
Nor do I ask you to come back begging for forgiveness
If you cry with dry eyes
And speaking of her

Oh, love, it hurts so much, it hurts so much
That you left without saying where
Oh, love, it was torture to lose you

I know that I have not been a saint
but I can fix it, love
You say you love like no other
But you can't live on bread alone
Only from mistakes you learn
And today I know that my heart is yours
Don't ever try, don't even bother
I won't take it, I don't want it
I don't buy it so long

I can't ask winter to forgive a rose bush
I can't ask the elms to deliver pears
I can't ask a mere mortal for eternity.
And go around throwing thousands of pearls to pigs

Oh, love, it hurts so much, it hurts so much
Don't believe in my promises anymore
Oh, love, it's torture to lose you

I know that I have not been a saint
but I can fix it, love
You say you love like no other
But you can't live on bread alone
Only from mistakes you learn
And today I know that my heart is yours
Don't ever try, don't even bother
I won't take it, I don't want it
I don't buy it so long

Don't get off, don't get off
Hey, black girl, look, don't give up
From Monday to Friday you have my love
Leave Saturday to me, it's better
Hey, my black girl, don't punish me anymore
Because out there without you I have no peace
I'm just a very sorry man
I am like the bird that returns to its nest

I know that I have not been a saint
And I'm not made of cardboard
You say you love like no other
But you can't live on bread alone
Only from mistakes you learn
And today I know that my heart is yours

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, everything I've done for you
It was torture to lose you
It hurts me so much that it is like this
keep crying sorry
I, I'm not going to cry for you
