Paroles et traduction Mercedes Sosa con Diego Torres y Facundo Ramírez - Zamba para olvidarte

Zamba para olvidarte

No sé para qué volviste
Si ya empezaba a olvidar.
No sé si ya lo sabrás,
Lloré cuando vos te fuiste.
No sé para qué volviste.
Que mal me hace recordar
La tarde se ha puesto triste
Y yo prefiero callar;
Para qué vamos a hablar
De cosas que ya no existen.
No sé para qué volviste.
Ya ves que es mejor no hablar.
Que pena me da saber que al final
De este amor ya no queda nada.
Solo una pobre canción
Da vueltas por mi guitarra.
Y hace rato que te extraña
Mi zamba para olvidar.
Mi zamba vivió conmigo
Parte de mi soledad.
No sé si ya lo sabrás,
Mi vida se fue contigo.
Contigo mi amor, contigo.
Que mal me hace recordar.
Mis manos ya son de barro
Tanto apretar al dolor.
Y ahora que me falta el sol,
No sé que venís buscando.
Llorando mi amor, llorando,
También olvídame vos.
Que pena me da saber que al final
De este amor ya no queda nada.
Solo una pobre canción
Da vueltas por mi guitarra.
Y hace rato que te extraña
Mi zamba para olvidar.

Zamba to Forget You

I don't know why you came back,
If I had already started to forget.
I don't know if you already know,
I cried when you left.
I don't know why you came back.
How it hurts me to remember
The afternoon has turned sad
And I prefer to be quiet;
Why should we talk
About things that no longer exist.
I don't know why you came back.
You see, it's better not to talk.
How it pains me to know that in the end
Nothing remains of this love.
Only a poor song
Plays over my guitar.
And it's been a while since you missed out
My zamba to forget.
My zamba lived with me
Part of my loneliness.
I don't know if you already know,
My life went with you.
With you my love, with you.
How it hurts me to remember.
My hands are already clay
So much pain in my heart.
And now that the sun is gone,
I don't know what you're looking for.
Crying my love, crying,
Forget me too.
How it pains me to know that in the end
Nothing remains of this love.
Only a poor song
Plays over my guitar.
And it's been a while since you missed out
My zamba to forget.
