Que te vaya bonito [English translation]

I hope it would go well for you,

I hope your pains would end

and they’d tell you I don’t exist anymore,

that you’d meet better people,

that they’d give you what I couldn’t,

even if I tried to give you everything.

I will never again bother you.

I adored you, I lost, there’s no return.

How many things were caged

in the very depth of my soul,

how many lights you left turned on,

I don’t know how I’ll switch them off.

I hope my love doesn’t hurt you

and you would forget me for ever,

that your veins would fill with blood

and that life would show you happiness.

I don’t know if your absence would kill me,

though I have a chest of steel,

but no one would call me a coward,

without knowing how much I love you.

How many things were caged

in the very depth of my soul,

how many lights you left turned on,

I don’t know how I’ll switch them off.

I hope it would go very well for you...
