Cómo olvidarte [English translation]

So the USSR doesn't exist anymore

So María is getting married

So Juan's wife

Debuted as someone else's lover

So the rent went up

You're putting your car up for sale

And in El Salvador

The war is over now

And amidst so many news

And neighborhood gossip

You always end up being

What is most important

Even though wanting to forget you

Is my philosophy

I carry you with me

As if you were a sticker

How can I forget you,

When you are everywhere?

In the smile of a child

In the routine of an old man

In the song of the radio

How can I forget you,

If I carry you with me?

Like a kangaroo does with its offspring,

Like the sun brings the day,

Like a tattoo.

How can I forget you,

If you are part of everything?

So Mario, the one by the corner,

He turned out to be a cross-dresser

And Gorbachev bought

A ticket to history

And Hussein is getting prepared

Cuba is not going to yield

And Marta's son

Barely escaped from death!

And amidst so many news

And neighborhood gossip

You always end up being

What is most important

Even though wanting to forget you

Is my philosophy

I carry you with me

As if you were a sticker

How can I forget you,

When you are everywhere?

In the smile of a child

In the routine of an old man

In the song of the radio

How can I forget you,

If I carry you with me?

Like a kangaroo does with its offspring,

Like the sun brings the day,

Like a tattoo.

How can I forget you...?

How can I forget you

When you are anywhere I am?

In the smile of a child

In the routine of an old man

In the song of the radio

How can I forget you,

If I carry you with me?

Like a kangaroo does with its offspring,

Like the sun brings the day,

Like a tattoo.

How can I forget you...?
