porque es tan cruel el amor [English translation]

Love doesn't end

just because [we] say goodbye

one must bear in mind

that absence

doesn't cancel out the memory

nor does it buy oblivion

nor does it erase us from the map

the [fact that] you're not here

doesn't separate you from me

the less I have you

the more I remember you even if I want to forget you

you're on my mind

and I ask myself 1000 times

Why is love so cruel?

that it doesn't let me forget

that it forbids me from thinking

that it ties me up and unties me and then it slowly kills me

it throws me away and picks me up and then it hurls me again

Why is love so cruel?

that it doesn't let me forget

because even if you're not here

it gets into my blood,

and it goes from corner to corner

clawing at my soul

and tearing up my heart

Why is love so cruel?

Love doesn't end

Just because you're not here

Our story cannot be erased just like that

It would mean killing our memories and burning our glories

que no me deja olvidar

que me ata y desata y luego de a poco me mata

que no me deja olvidar

se mete en mi sangre,

arañándome el alma

¿Por qué es tan cruel el amor?

que no me deja olvidar

que me ata y desata y luego de a poco me mata
