Lyrics

Español

Necesito olvidar esta pena de amor, ya no se que intentar ya no se cómo ahogar este inmenso dolor. Es mentira que el tiempo suele todo borrar. ya no es cosa de ayer este eterno pensar que me va a enloquecer. Música y fiesta me lo recuerdan, baile y bebida son para peor. Si ando con copas veo sus ojos, si escucho un tango oigo su voz...

English · machine translation

I need to forget this sorrow of love, I don't know what to try I don't know how to drown this immense pain. It's a lie that time tends to erase everything. It is no longer a thing of yesterday this eternal thinking that is going to drive me mad. Music and party remind me of it, dancing and drinking are for the worse. If I walk around with drinks I see his eyes, if I listen to a tango I hear her voice...
