Una tarde cualquiera · Miguel Caló · 1945

Español

¡No, no me digas adiós! ¡No lo digas por Dios, ni lo pienses siquiera! Quiero que nos separemos, como si nada ocurriera, como si fuera esta tarde una tarde de un día cualquiera. Ya que te alejas de mí no te vayas así, corazón malherido, por lo mucho que tu me has querido, mi pájaro herido, te pido perdón. Qué distinta sería la vida si pudiera borrarse el pasado, con qué amor lavaría tu herida si pudiera volverte a mi lado. Si pudiera encontrar mi disculpa, si pudiera borrar esta culpa, si pudiera rezar, si pudiera llorar, si tan solo pudiera olvidar. Bien, el momento llegó sé que todo acabó, sé que angustia me espera. Sólo te pido que partas, como si nada ocurriera, como si fuera esta tarde una tarde de un día cualquiera. Y si pudieras mentir, si pudieras fingir una frase amistosa, que consuelo sería esa hermosa mentira piadosa de tu corazón.

No, don't say goodbye to me! Don't say it for God's sake, don't even think it! I want us to part, as if nothing happened, as if it were this afternoon an afternoon of an ordinary day. Since you're going away from me don't go away like this, wounded heart, for how much you have loved me, my wounded bird, I beg your forgiveness. How different life would be if the past could be erased, with what love I would wash your wound if I could return you to my side. If I could find my apology, if I could erase this guilt, if I could pray, if I could cry, if only I could forget. Well, the time has come I know it's all over, I know what anguish awaits me. I only ask you to leave, as if nothing happened, as if it were this afternoon an afternoon of an ordinary day. And if you could lie, if you could fake a friendly phrase, what a comfort would be that beautiful pious lie of your heart.
