Cumbia Para Olvidar [English translation]

A few months ago I wanted to leave you

But the days just keep passing and passing

I waste my time on words

Looking for the right way

Life rushes and rushes across my face

I take the bite apart and I can't get there

To the bottom of your cell surface

And always crying in bed

I'm already used to it

I look for you, I look for you, and I find nothing

Cumbia1 to forget, I forget to forgive

The melody of a trombone heals my soul

Cumbia, I don't want to feel, cumbia, I can't live like this

Cumbia, take me dancing, help me forget this pain

I know your sophistication when you speak

Has become your lethal weapon

I pretend I can endure it

I pretend I won't be afraid anymore

Round and round I roll in the bed

Cumbia to forget, I forget to forgive

The melody of a trombone heals my soul

Cumbia, I don't want to feel, cumbia, I can't live like this

Cumbia, take me dancing, help me forget this pain

No, I can't live any longer

With this scar

My entire soul hurts

And although I try to forget

I can't stand it

I'm desperate

Cumbia to forget, I forget to forgive

The melody of a trombone heals my soul

Cumbia, I don't want to feel, cumbia, I can't live like this

Cumbia, take me dancing, help me forget this pain
