No pensar en ti [English translation]

I have to achieve:

not to think about you.

Alone, here at last,

listening on the radio

saying that yes,

it may rain

and knowing that no,

you’re not coming back.

It may happen

I’ll get sick of everything.

What difference does it make?

What does it matter if I cry my eyes out?

Because

you won't see me.

I’ll forget about

what it was,

no one will know what I feel.

I’ll pretend

that I am happy,

the procession will go inside.

And I’ll dream again,

I’ll fall asleep thinking.

I have to achieve:

not to think about you.

I think I can perform

the miracle again.

To live, to feel,

as if such a thing

gets out of me,

to regain peace.

And now I want to apologize,

to erase you completely,

to seek courage, flee from the past,

become a normal woman.

I’ll forget about

what it was,

no one will know what I feel.

I’ll pretend

that I am happy,

the procession will go inside.

And I’ll dream again,

I’ll fall asleep thinking.

I have to achieve:

not to think about you.

I’ll smile like yesterday,

but I, meantime,

I have to achieve:

not to think about you.
