Maldita primavera [English translation]

This is roughly how it happened:

White wine, a beautiful night and old songs

And I was being mocked

By that sweet, sweet liar

The goddamned Spring.

What's left of a dream full of lust and romance

If I suddenly wake up

Only to find that you've left?

I feel the void you've left behind

And become anxious

It's as if love could be painful

And, although I don't want to,

I think of you against my better judgement.

If, to fall in love once again,

It is necessary

For the goddamned Spring to return

Why do I waste my time dreaming

When an hour is enough for me to fall in love?

The goddamned Spring threads on slowly

It threads on slowly, and it only hurts me.

The only thing that you've left me with

Is a kiss without meaning or feeling

A caress that didn't feel genuine

And some on-again and off-again shenanigans

So, even though you may not want to,

Think of me against your will.

If, to fall in love once again,

It is necessary

For the goddamned Spring to return

What does it matter

If an hour is enough for me to fall in love?

The goddamned Spring threads on slowly

It threads on slowly, and it curses only me.

~ ~ ~

Let me love you

As if love were still alive

So, even though it may not want to,

It shall think of me against its will.

What does it matter

If an hour is enough for me to fall in love?

The goddamned Spring threads on slowly

It threads on slowly, and it curses only me.
