A la basura

Throw it all in the trash
all the things I gave you
and tell anyone who asks
that I was just a friend to you.

Also destroy the letters
and the picture I gave you
but don’t forget, you ungrateful
that I’ll never forget your love.

I’m gonna find other arms
that know how to understand me,
that can love me,
that offer me their tenderness
and bring me happiness.

And your soul, now withered,
destroyed by your false vanity
and the pride you had
went straight to the trash.

If one day you think of picking up
what was left in the trash,
you won’t find any paper
because the wind has already taken it away.

I’m gonna find other arms
that know how to understand me,
that can love me,
that offer me their tenderness
and bring me happiness.

And your soul, now withered,
destroyed by your false vanity
and the pride you had
went straight to the trash.
