Zamba Para Olvidar
Abel Pintos
Lyrics
Translation
No sé para qué volviste
I don't know why you came back
Si yo empezaba a olvidar
If I was starting to forget
No sé si ya lo sabrás
I don't know if you already know
Lloré cuando vos te fuiste
I cried when you left
No sé para qué volviste
I don't know why you came back
Qué mal me hace recordar
How bad it is for me to remember
La tarde se ha puesto triste
The afternoon has become sad
Y yo prefiero callar
And I prefer to keep silent
Para qué vamos a hablar
Why should we talk
De cosas que ya no existen
About things that no longer exist
No sé para qué volviste
I don't know why you came back
Ya ves, es mejor no hablar
You see, it's better not to speak
Qué pena me da
How sad it makes me
Saber que al final
To know that in the end
De este amor ya no queda nada
Of this love, nothing remains
Solo una pobre canción
Only a poor song
Da vueltas por mi guitarra
Goes around on my guitar
Y hace rato que te extraña
And for a while now, it's missed you
Mi zamba para olvidar
My zamba to forget
Mi zamba vivió conmigo
My zamba lived with me
Parte de mi soledad
Part of my loneliness
No sé si ya lo sabrás
I don't know if you already know
Mi vida se fue contigo
My life went with you
Contigo, mi amor, contigo
With you, my love, with you
Qué mal me hace recordar
How bad it is for me to remember
Mis manos ya son de barro
My hands are now made of clay
Tanto apretar el dolor
So much squeezing the pain
Y ahora que me falta el Sol
And now that I lack the Sun
No sé qué venís buscando
I don't know what you're looking for
Llorando, mi amor, llorando
Crying, my love, crying
También olvidame vos
Forget me too
Qué pena me da
How sad it makes me
Saber que al final
To know that in the end
De este amor ya no queda nada
Of this love, nothing remains
Solo una pobre canción
Only a poor song
Da vueltas por mi guitarra
Goes around on my guitar
Y hace rato que te extraña
And for a while now, it's missed you
Mi zamba para olvidar
My zamba to forget
