Translation of the song El desengaño artist Los Iracundos

Es una historia

It's a story

que prefiero callar

I prefer to silence

mas no soporto

but I can't hold it

y la tengo que contar

and I must tell it

Yo no la amo, yo no la quiero

I don't love her, I don't love her

mas la prefiero olvidar

but I want to forget her

Yo ya no pienso, en el futuro

I no longer think of the future

lo que me podrá pasar

what will happen to me

Ella me ama con tanta pasión

She loves me so passionately

se siente dueña de mi corazón

she feels she owns my heart

todos sus sueños son tonta ilusión

all her dreams are foolish illusion

que no llegan a lograr mi amor

that can't achieve to have my love

Ese silencio, esa amargura

That silence, that bitterness

no tendrá cura jamas

will never have cure

el desengaño, la hará sufrir

Disillusion will make her suffer

pero se resignara.

but she'll give up.

El desengaño da mucho dolor

Disillusion hurts a lot

pero quizás a veces es lo mejor

but sometimes it's the best

la verdad no se la ocultaré

I won't hide the truth

y que no la quiero, pronto le diré

and soon I'll tell her I don't love her

Es una pena

It's a shame

que no la pueda amar

I can't love her

es una pena

it's a shame

que la tengo que olvidar

I have to forget her
