Response To The Ninth Letter

Respuesta a La Novena Carta

Today I learned aboutHoy supe de
A strange storyUna extraña historia
A woman who fell in love with someoneUna mujer que de alguien se enamoró
She lived her love alone in his memoryVivió su amor sola en su memoria
Writing his passion in nine lettersEscribiendo en nueve cartas su pasión

He fell in loveSe enamoró
So hopelesslyTan perdidamente
In each letter he left his heartEn cada carta su corazón dejó
It was his pure and different loveEra su amor puro y diferente
On paper and sweet dreams he wroteEn papel y dulces sueños escribió

And when writing his ninth letterY al escribir su novena carta
He wanted to put an end to itQuiso poner el punto final
Confessing that she was already fed upAl confesar que ya estaba harta
To live such great love in solitudeDe vivir tan grande amor en soledad

We agreed to be just friendsQuedamos en ser solo amigos
In leaving feelings stored awayEn dejar sentimientos guardados
And forget all love for friendshipY olvidar todo amor por la amistad
And today, I want to confess to youY hoy, quiero confesarte
That this cowardice never let me tell the truthQue esta cobardía nunca me dejó decir la verdad
The truth of my lifeLa verdad de mi vida
What is it to love you from here to eternity?Que es amarte de aquí a la eternidad
And although it is lateY aunque es tarde
And I see you walk by with him, I think maybeY te veo pasar con él, pienso que tal vez
You have forgotten that the old romanceHas olvidado que el viejo romance
And those nine letters you could never deliverY esas nueve cartas que nunca pudiste entregar
They must be kept in your oblivionHan de estar guardadas en tu olvido
And although I always think about you today I just want you to be happyY aunque siempre pienso en ti hoy solo quiero que seas feliz
And now, I just have to bear this cruel and absurd indecisionY ahora, solo me queda cargar, con esta cruel y absurda indecisión

Today knowingHoy al saber
That strange storyEsa extraña historia
Something is moving here in my heartAlgo se mueve aquí en mi corazón
A tender love comes to my memoryUn tierno amor viene a mi memoria
A girl who was my dreamUna niña que era toda mi ilusión

EverAlguna vez
I wanted to confess to himQuise confesarle
That love that I kept in my heartAquel amor que guardé en mi corazón
I was not able, I acted like a cowardNo fui capaz me porté cobarde
And today I regret that absurd indecisionY hoy me pesa aquella absurda indecisión

How I wish I could turn back timeComo quisiera regresar el tiempo
And have ink and paperY disponer de tinta y papel
To write to you everything I feelPara escribirte todo lo que siento
I still love youAún te amo
But youPero tú
You live with himVives con él
