Lyrics and translation Ricardo Arjona - Olvídarte

Olvídarte

Olvidarte es más difícil que encontrarse al sol de noche
Que entender a los políticos o comprar la Torre Eiffel
Más difícil que fumarse un habano en American Airlines
Más difícil que una flor plástica marchita

Olvidarte es más difícil que una flaca en un Botero
Que encontrarse a un gato verde, o a un cubano sin sabor
Más difícil que Lady Di en la estación del metro
Olvidarte, es tan difícil olvidarte

Olvidarte, olvidarte
Es querer jalarle el pelo a una botella
Es creer que la memoria es un casete para borrar
Olvidarte es recordar que es imposible

Olvidarte, olvidarte
Incluso es más difícil que aguantarte
Si extraño tu neurosis y tus celos sin razón
Cómo no extrañar tu cuerpo en mi colchón

Olvidarte es un intento, que no lo deseo tanto
Porque tanto es que lo intento, que me acuerdo mucho más
Y he llegado a sospechar que mi afán de no acordarme
Es lo que me tiene enfermo de recuerdos

Olvidarte es lo que espero para reanudar mi vida
Harto de seguir soñando con la posibilidad
De que un día por error, o pura curiosidad
Le preguntes a un amigo por mis huesos

Olvidarte, olvidarte
Es querer jalarle el pelo a una botella
Es creer que la memoria es un casete para borrar
Olvidarte es recordar que es imposible

Olvidarte, olvidarte
Incluso es más difícil que aguantarte
Si extraño tu neurosis y tus celos sin razón
Cómo no extrañar tu cuerpo en mi colchón

Es querer jalarle el pelo a una botella
Es creer que la memoria es un casete para borrar
Olvidarte es recordar que es imposible

Olvidarte, olvidarte
Incluso es más difícil que aguantarte
Si extraño tu neurosis y tus celos sin razón
Cómo no extrañar tu cuerpo en mi colchón

Forget You

Forgetting you is harder than finding the sun at night
Than understanding politicians or buying the Eiffel Tower
Harder than smoking a cigar on American Airlines
Harder than a wilted plastic flower

Forgetting you is harder than a skinny woman in a Botero painting
Than finding a green cat, or a Cuban with no rhythm
Harder than Lady Di in the metro station
Forgetting you, is so hard to forget you

Forget you, forget you
It's like trying to pull the hair off a bottle
It's like believing that memory is a cassette tape you can erase
Forgetting you is remembering that it's impossible

Forget you, forget you
It's even harder than putting up with you
If I miss your neurosis and your groundless jealousy
How could I not miss your body on my mattress

Forgetting you is an attempt, that I don't want so much
Because so much is that I try, that I remember much more
And I've come to suspect that my eagerness not to remember
Is what has me sick with memories

Forgetting you is what I hope for to resume my life
Tired of continuing to dream of the possibility
That one day by mistake, or sheer curiosity
You ask a friend about my bones

Forget you, forget you
It's like trying to pull the hair off a bottle
It's like believing that memory is a cassette tape you can erase
Forgetting you is remembering that it's impossible

Forget you, forget you
It's even harder than putting up with you
If I miss your neurosis and your groundless jealousy
How could I not miss your body on my mattress

It's like trying to pull the hair off a bottle
It's like believing that memory is a cassette tape you can erase
Forgetting you is remembering that it's impossible

Forget you, forget you
It's even harder than putting up with you
If I miss your neurosis and your groundless jealousy
How could I not miss your body on my mattress
