Como Voy a Olvidarme
Victor Manuel
How Am I Going to Forget
How am I going to forget
If forgetting is memory,
What should I forget
They are joking.
How am I going to forget
Only fools forget
Who rewrite history
To erase everything.
How am I going to forget
Where do I put the shadows
I just want to know
Where the extras are.
How am I going to forget
Everything here and now
Whoever says it
Or the holy father in Rome.
How am I going to forget
All the defeats
Of so many humiliated
Of broken families.
How am I going to forget
Impossible dreams
Of so many invisible
And so many victories.
How am I going to forget
If I have the hard drive
Overflowing to the brim
Let someone come and erase it.
How am I going to forget
I know they are bothered
That the ditches are opened
That the graves are looked into
And that justice is done
Above all things
That the poorly buried
Neither die nor rest.
How am I going to forget
That furious mob
Those years of lead
And priests with guns.
How am I going to forget
The years lived,
The road does not end
And we are still alive.
