Algo bonito

Quisiera escribirte algo bonito, bonito de verdad,

I would like to write something beautiful for you, truly beautiful,

Pero se trata de despedirme y se me da muy mal.

Quisiera escribirte algo sencillo en realidad,

Pero se trata de despedirme de alguien que no tuve jamás

Y dime que difícil es intentarse olvidar

And tell me how difficult it is to try to forget

de algo que nunca tuvo lugar

something that never took place.

Y que difícil es dejar de imaginar

And how difficult it is to stop imagining,

Y que difícil es intentarse alejar,

And how difficult it is to try to distance oneself,

quisiera encontrar algún final

I would like to find some ending

Que no… no sonara tan mal

That doesn't... doesn't sound so bad.

Difícil escribir algo bonito, se trata de un final

Difficult to write something beautiful; it's about an ending.

No acabaré con un te quiero, no me dio tiempo a llegar

I won't end with an "I love you"; I didn't have time to get there.

Difícil escribir algo sencillo en realidad,

Difficult to write something simple, actually,

Que se hace algo cuesta arriba darse la vuelta y echar a andar

When something uphill is turning around and starting to walk away.

Y dime que difícil es intentarse olvidar

And tell me how difficult it is to try to forget

de algo que nunca tuvo lugar

something that never took place.

Y que difícil es dejar de imaginar

And how difficult it is to stop imagining,

Y que difícil es intentarse alejar,

And how difficult it is to try to distance oneself,

quisiera encontrar algún final

I would like to find some ending

Que no… no sonara tan mal

That doesn't... doesn't sound so bad.

Y antes de olvidarme y antes de alejarme

And before I forget and before I distance myself,

y antes de marcharme y que todo se acabe

And before I leave and everything ends,

Yo solo quería haberte escrito algo bonito,

I just wanted to have written something beautiful for you,

algo bonito de verdad

something truly beautiful.

Que difícil es intentarse alejar
