Procuro Olvidarte – I Try to Forget You

Obsession.

From the film Quien Te Cantara…a dark and sensitive movie. My favourite song…Procuro Olvidarte. Laura tried so hard to forget Youssef*, but she couldn’t. When you fall in love so deeply, the object of your obsession shadows every minute of life…

She was trapped, she was lost….

The English translation:

I try to forget you
Following the path of a wounded bird
I try to stay away
From those places where we loved each other
I tangle in loves
With no will, no strength, to see if I can forget you
And night comes
And I understand again that I need you.

I try to forget you
Doing thousands of different things during the day
I try to forget you
Counting and stepping on the fallen leaves.
I try to tire myself
Barely alive when night falls
And when I see our home
So lonely, silent, I don’t know what I would do

What I would do
For you to be there
For you to still be with me
What I would do
To not feel this way
To not live like I’m lost.

I try to forget you
Following the path of a wounded bird
I try to stay away
From those places where we loved each other
I tangle in loves
With no will, no strength, to see if I can forget you
And night comes
And I understand again that I need you.

What I would do
For you to be there
For you to still be with me
What I would do
To not feel this way
To not live like I’m lost.

Lost…
