Como Olvidarte

How to Forget You

Como Olvidarte

That Maria is getting marriedQue se casa Maria
That Juan's wifeQue la esposa de Juan
Has already debuted as a loverYa se estreno como amante

That the rent went upQue subieron la renta
You put your car up for salePones tu coche en venta
And that in El SalvadorY que en El Salvador
The war has endedYa se ha acabado la guerra

And among so many newsY entre tantas noticias
And neighborhood gossipY chismes de barrio
It turns out that it's youResulta que eres tu
Always the most importantSiempre lo mas importante

Although wanting to forget youAunque querer olvidarte
Is my philosophySea mi filosofia
I carry you stuck to meTe llevo pegada a mi
Like a stickerComo calcomania

How to forget youComo olvidarte
If you're everywhereSi estas en cualquier parte
In the child's smileEn la sonrisa del niño
In the old man's routineEn la rutina del viejo
In the song on the radioEn la cancion de la radio

How to forget youComo olvidarte
If I carry you with meSi te llevo conmigo
Like a kangaroo with its babyComo canguro a su cria
Like the sun brings the dayComo el sol trae el dia
Like a tattooComo un tatuaje

How to forget youComo olvidarte
If you're part of everythingSi eres parte de todo

That Mario from the cornerQue Mario el de la esquina
Turned out to be a transvestiteResulto ser trasvesti
And that Gorbachev boughtY que Gorvachov compro
A ticket in historyBoleto en la historia

That Hussein is getting readyQue Hussein se prepara
That Cuba doesn't give inQue Cuba no cede
And that Marta's sonY que el hijo de Marta
Almost diedPor poco y se muere

And among so many newsY entre tantas noticias
And neighborhood gossipY chismes de barrio
It turns out that it's youResulta que eres tu
Always the most importantSiempre lo mas importante

Although wanting to forget youAunque querer olvidarte
Is my philosophySea mi filosofia
I carry you stuck to meTe llevo pegada a mi
Like a stickerComo calcomania

How to forget youComo olvidarte
If you're everywhereSi estas en cualquier parte
In the child's smileEn la sonrisa del niño
In the old man's routineEn la rutina del viejo
In the song on the radioEn la cancion de la radio

How to forget youComo olvidarte
If I carry you with meSi te llevo conmigo
Like a kangaroo with its babyComo canguro a su cria
Like the sun brings the dayComo el sol trae el dia
Like a tattooComo un tatuaje
How to forget youComo olvidarte

How to forget youComo olvidarte
If you're everywhereSi estas en cualquier parte
In the child's smileEn la sonrisa del niño
In the old man's routineEn la rutina del viejo
In the song on the radioEn la cancion de la radio

How to forget youComo olvidarte
If I carry you with meSi te llevo conmigo
Like a kangaroo with its babyComo canguro a su cria
Like the sun brings the dayComo el sol trae el dia
