Desamarte Lyrics English Translation by Luis Cortés, Camilo
Here I am, trying to forget you
Trying to find a little piece of joy
Looking for reasons just to hate you
Maybe that would make it all a bit easier
Like your “good morning” way too early every day
Me, just wanting sleep, and you brewing coffee
And now I don’t hear
The sounds you made around the house
And I don’t wanna wake up
How do I unlove you?
How do I forget you?
How do I talk about myself
Without bringing up you too?
And how do I let go
Of the sweetest memory?
When deep down I need it
Just to keep moving on
I was such a fool
Trying to breathe
Without oxygen
Thought I could make it work
But now I see I can’t
Without you
The bed feels like a desert
And at night your absence hits me harder
And even though it hurts, I have to admit it
I’m just another typical case of dependence
And I haven’t felt right
Since you’ve been gone
Still pretending like you’re coming back
But no matter how tough I act, I’ve had enough
How do I unlove you?
How do I forget you?
How do I talk about myself
Without bringing up you too?
And how do I let go
Of the sweetest memory?
When deep down I need it
Just to keep moving on
I was such a fool
Trying to breathe
Without oxygen
Thought I could make it work
But now I see I can’t
