Te aconsejo que me olvides · Juan Cambareri · 1951

Castellano

Recibí tu última carta, en la cual tú me decías: 'Te aconsejo que me olvides, todo ha muerto entre los dos. Sólo pido mi retrato y todas las cartas mías, ya lo sabes que no es justo que aún eso conserves vos'. Hoy reconoces la falta, tenés miedo que yo diga... que le cuente al que tu sabes nuestra íntima amistad; ¡Soy muy hombre, no te vendo, no soy capaz de una intriga! Lo comprendo que, si hablara, quiebro tu felicidad. Pero no vas a negar que cuando vos fuiste mía, dijiste que me querías, que no me ibas a olvidar; y que ciega de cariño me besabas en la boca, como si estuvieras loca... Sedienta, nena, de amar. Yo no tengo inconveniente en enviarte todo eso, sin embargo, aunque no quieras, algo tuyo ha de quedar. El vacío que dejaste y el calor de aquellos besos bien lo sabes que no puedo devolvértelos jamás. Yo lo hago en bien tuyo evitando un compromiso, sacrifico mi cariño por tu apellido y tu honor; me conformo con mi suerte, ya que así el destino quiso pero acuérdate bien mío, ¡que esto lo hago por tu amor!

I received your last letter, in which you said to me: 'I advise you to forget me, everything has died between us. I only ask for my portrait and all my letters, you already know that it is not fair that you still keep them'. Today you recognize the fault, you're afraid that I'll say... that I'll tell the one you know our intimate friendship; I am very manly, I do not sell you out, I am not capable of intrigue! I understand that, if I were to speak, I would break your happiness. But you won't deny that when you were mine you said you loved me, that you weren't going to forget me; and that blind with affection you kissed me on the mouth, as if you were crazy... Thirsty, baby, to love. I have no objection to send you all that, however, even if you don't want to, something of yours must remain. The emptiness you left behind and the warmth of those kisses you know that I can never ever give them back to you. I do it for your sake avoiding a compromise, I sacrifice my affection for your name and your honor; I am content with my lot, since that's the way destiny wanted it but remember well my own, that I do this for your love!
