Translation of the song Tengo que olvidar artist Roberto Carlos
Tengo que olvidar
I have to forget
No vale andar tan solo por la vida
It isn't worth to go around, so lonely, in life
Sin buscar una salida
without looking for a way out
Que me lleve a un nuevo amor
that would take me to a new love.
Ni vale recordar tristes momentos
neither it's worth to remember sad moments
Y dejar que el pensamento
and to let the thoughts
Me maltrate el corazón
to mistreat my heart.
Tengo que olvidar
I have to forget
Tengo que olvidar
I have to forget
Tengo que olvidar
I have to forget
De una buena vez,
once and for all,
ni antes ni después
neither before nor later
Volver a empezar
to start again.
No vale estar pensando siempre en ella
It isn't worth to be thinking of her all the time,
Porque ya no es más aquella
because she is no longer
La que tanto amor me dio
the one who gave me so much love.
Ni vale dar guarida a un sentimiento
Neither it's worth to shelter a feeling
Que con el correr del tiempo
that, as the time passes
Se convierte en un dolor
it turns into grief..
No vale cuando estoy con otras gentes
It isn't worth when I am with other people
Verme solo y de repente
to feel alone and, suddenly,
No saber adonde estoy
not to know where I am.
Ni vale ver llegar las madrugadas
neither it's worth to see the coming of daybreak
Dando vueltas en la cama
turning and turning in bed
Extrañando aquel amor
missing that love.
Tengo que olvidar
I have to forget
Tengo que olvidar
I have to forget
Tengo que olvidar
I have to forget
De una buena vez
once and for all,
Ni antes ni después
neither before nor later
Volver a empezar
to start again.
No vale andar soñando con sus besos
It isn't worth to be dreaming about her kisses
Y pensando en su regreso
thinking of her return,
Porque no es la realidad
because it is not the reality,
Ni vale nostalgia del pasado
neither it's worth the past nostalgia
Cuando ya no está a mi lado
when she is not longer next to me
Y la tengo que olvidar
and I have to forget her.
Tengo que olvidar
I have to forget
Tengo que olvidar
I have to forget
Tengo que olvidar
I have to forget
De una buena vez
once and for all,
Ni antes ni después
neither before nor later
Volver a empezar
to start again.
