Te Perdono
Silvio Rodriguez
I Forgive You
I forgive you for the bunch of words
That you've whispered in my ear
Since I've known you.
I forgive you for your photos and your cats,
Your meals outside,
Beers and cigarettes, in fact,
I forgive you for walking like you do,
Your cloud shoes,
Your teeth and your hair.
I forgive you for the hundreds of reasons,
The thousands of problems,
In short, I forgive you for not loving me.
What I don't forgive you for
Is having kissed me with such treachery.
I have witnesses: a dog, the early morning, the cold,
And that's what I don't forgive you for,
Because if I forgive you, I'll surely forget it.
