Ausencia

Why do you leave, my love,Porqué te vas amor,
tell me?, why do you leave, my love¿dime?, porqué te vas amor
if you know that my heartsi sabes que mi corazón
suffers for yousufre por ti

Loneliness is sleeping aloneLa soledad está durmiendo sola
your memory has overcome my forgetfulnesstu recuerdo ha podido con mi olvido
and how long the night hours becomey que larguitas se hacen las horas de noche
when I don't sleep with youcuando no duermo contigo
Oh with you!, Oh with you!Ay contigo!, Ay contigo!
and you leave and you leavey te vas y tu te vas
that love is like the seaque el amor es como el mar
and the sea has wavesy el mar tiene las olas
that come and go the sameque igual vienen que se van
you have as much as you are worthtanto tienes tanto vales
keep that in mindeso tenlo muy presente
so that people don't laughpara que no se ría la gente
or see you cryni te vean llorar

Why do you leave, my love,Porqué te vas amor,
tell me?, why do you leave, my love¿dime?, porqué te vas amor
if you know that my heartsi sabes que mi corazón
suffers for yousufre por ti

There is no farewell without a goodbyeNo hay despedida sin un adios
there is no goodbye without a destinationno hay un adios sin un destino
and how short love becomesy que cortito se hace el amor
and how long forgetfulness becomesy que larguito se hace el olvido
a poet speaks about lovehabla un poeta sobre el amor
that it was the potion for all evilque era la pocima de todo mal
at the same time he forgotal mismo tiempo se le olvido
to give the remedy for lonelinessdar el remedio para la soledad
he said that it never rains foreverdijo que nunca llueve eternamente
that a heartbreak is filled with impatienceque un desamor se llenade impaciencia
damned be the one who speaks and doesn't feelmaldito sea quien habla y no siente
when a cruel absence hurts the mostcuando mas duele una cruel ausencia
oh!, oh! absenceay!,ay! ausencia

Why do you leave, my love,Porqué te vas amor,
tell me?, why do you leave, my love¿dime?,porqué te vas amor
if you know that my heartsi sabes que mi corazón
suffers for yousufre por ti

I don't believe in miraclesNo creo en los milagros
I don't believe in wishesyo no creo en los deseos
I don't believe in hopeno creo en esperanza
based on timeque se basan en el tiempo
I don't believe in compassionno creo en las compasiones
and I don't believe in memoryy no creo en el recuerdo
for love I am very Christianpara el amor soy muy cristiano
for heartbreak I am an atheist...para el desamor yo soy ateo...
