Letra del Tango Y no puedo olvidarte

Yo no sé ni a quien odiar en mi tormento,
si a la vida, si al amor o a mi destino,
si morirme o seguir por mi camino,
camino de amarguras, camino sin tu amor.
Yo no quiero las caricias de otras manos,
yo no quiero de otros labios la dulzura,
qué me importa de otros ojos la ternura
si en tus ojos y en tus manos se quedó mi corazón.

Desesperado,
sin tu querer
y atormentado
por el ayer.
Con tu recuerdo
que duele tanto,
mojado en llanto
y en padecer.
Desesperado,
por vos me muero
porque te quiero,
hoy más que ayer.

Es terrible lo que has hecho con mi vida
si hasta ahora no he podido consolarme,
muchas veces no he querido ni acordarme
y cuanto más lo intento más quiero recordar.
Si tuviste o no razón para dejarme
no lo entiende mi cariño todavía,
ni tampoco se resigna el alma mía
si te pierde para siempre, al nombrarte y al llorar.

English lyrics of the Tango "Y no puedo olvidarte"

I don’t know who to hate in my torment,
whether it’s life, love, or my fate,
whether to die or to continue on my path,
a path of sorrows, a path without your love.
I don’t want the caresses of other hands,
I don’t crave the sweetness of other lips,
what does the tenderness of other eyes matter to me
if my heart stayed in your eyes and your hands?

Desperate,
without your love,
and tormented
by the past.
With your memory
that hurts so much,
soaked in tears
and suffering.
Desperate,
for you I die
because I love you,
today more than yesterday.

It’s terrible what you’ve done to my life
if until now I have not been able to console myself,
many times I haven’t even wanted to remember
and the more I try, the more I want to remember.
Whether you had a reason to leave me
my love still doesn’t understand,
nor does my soul resign itself
if it loses you forever, in naming you and in crying.
