Me cuesta tanto olvidarte


Entre el cielo y el suelo
hay algo
con tendencia a quedarse calvo
de tanto recordar.

Y ese algo que soy yo mismo
es un cuadro de bifrontismo que
sólo da una faz.

La cara vista es un anuncio de Signal
la cara oculta es la resulta
de mi ida genial de echarte
me cuesta tanto olvidarte,
me cuesta tanto.

Olvidarte me cuesta tanto
olvidar quince mil encantos
es mucha sensatez.

Y no sé si seré sensato
lo que sé es que me cuesta un rato
hacer cosas sin querer.

Y aunque fui yo
quien decidió que ya no más
y no me canse de jurarte
que no habrá segunda parte
me cuesta tanto olvidarte,
me cuesta tanto.

Between the sky and the ground
there’s something
with a tendency to go bald
from so much remembering.

And that something that I myself am
is a two-faced figure
that only shows one side.

The face shown is a Signal* advertisement
the hidden face is the outcome
of my genius idea of kicking you out
it’s so hard to forget you
it’s so hard.

To forget you is so hard for me
to forget fifteen thousand charms
is too much sanity.

And I don’t know if I’m sane,
what I know is that it takes me a while
to do things I didn’t mean to do.

And even though it was me
who decided it was enough
and I won’t tire of swearing
there will be no second part,
it’s so hard to forget you,
it’s so hard.

*Signal is an old toothpaste brand, that shows someone grinning on its advertisement.
