Te aconsejo que me olvidesTroilo - Fiorentino

ENGLISH


I received your recent letter,

in which you told me:

"I advise you to forget me,

everything has died between us,

I only ask for my portrait and all my letters,

You already know it's not fair,

that you still hold onto them."

Today you acknowledge the wrongdoing,

you're afraid I might reveal

That I tell your husband about our intimate friendship,

I'm a true man, I won't sell you out,

I'm not capable of intrigue,

I understand that if I were to speak...

I'd shatter your happiness.


But you won't deny

That when you were mine,

You said you loved me,

That you wouldn't forget me.

And in a frenzy of affection,

You kissed me on the lips,

As if you were crazy...

Thirsty, baby, for love.


SPANISH


Recibí tu última carta,

En la cual tú me decías:

"Te aconsejo que me olvides,

Todo ha muerto entre los dos.

Sólo pido mi retrato

Y todas las cartas mías,

Ya lo sabes que no es justo

Que aún eso conserves vos".

Hoy reconoces la falta,

Tenés miedo que yo diga...

Que le cuente a tu marido

Nuestra íntima amistad;

¡Soy muy hombre, no te vendo,

No soy capaz de una intriga!

Lo comprendo que, si hablara,

Quiebro tu felicidad.


Pero no vas a negar

Que cuando vos fuiste mía,

Dijiste que me querías,

Que no me ibas a olvidar;

Y que ciega de cariño

Me besabas en la boca,

Como si estuvieras loca...

Sedienta, nena, de amar.
