No Volveré [English translation]

When I may find myself far away from you

When you may want me to be with you

You will come across no memento of me

Nor have more love affairs with me

I swear to you that I will not come back

Although I may break my life in pieces

If once I loved you madly

Now you will be dismissed from my soul

I will not come back

I swear to you by God who sees me

I say it to you crying from rage

I will not come back

I will not stop

Until I see that my weeping has formed

A stream of flooded forgetfulness

Where I will drown your memory

We were clouds that the wind separated

We were stones that were always colliding

Drops of water that the sun dried out

Binges that we didn’t finish

In the train of absence I go away

I don’t have a return ticket

And what you may have of mine I give you

But I won’t return your kisses

I will not come back

I swear to you by God who sees me

I say it to you crying from rage

I will not come back

I will not stop

Until I see that my weeping has formed

A stream of flooded forgetfulness

Where I will drown your memory
