Si Me Olvidas
Vanesa Martín
If You Forget Me
I carry the sun as carry-on luggage
I came without thinking too much
I imagine you there, saying goodbye to me
And a pinch tightens my heart
I wear a forced smile
And my soul a little on alert
Because they knocked down my boats
I was left floating in open sea
If you forget me, you will live peacefully
You will have plans and projections
If you forget me, there will be no whirlpools
Nor emotional ups and downs
Because the moment of meeting each other
Arrived in the midst of a storm
And even though my sails were looking for you
My direction was still
And if you forget me
I carry the suitcase loaded
With books to not think of you
They say that when you observe yourself
It's not really what comes out
I need to sweat you
Like sweating on a summer day
Like the coat that ends up overwhelming you
When you can't unbutton it
And if you forget me
