A Letter

Una Carta

Oh, letter from NestorOh, carta de Néstor
What will you tell me?Que me dira
Remembered LennisRecordada Lennis
Thinking about a thousand things maybePensando en mil cosas quizá
distant from my friendsDistante de mis amigos
With the smoke as a witnessCon el humo por testigo
I started writing this letterEsta carta empeze a redactar

My dear, forgive meQuerida mía perdona
If I offend you by writing to youSi te ofendo al escribirte
But I feel very sadPero me siento muy triste
Because of what happened last nightPor lo que anoche paso

I'm even sorryHasta estoy arrepentido
And if you areY si acaso tu lo estas
You shouldn't cry anymoreYa no debes llorar más
You have to have courageTienes que tener valor
In case God sends you a sonPor si Dios te manda un hijo

For the greatest I demand of youPor lo más grande te exijo
Don't put my name on itQue no le pongas mi nombre
So that it is not like mePara que no sea como yo

May he never taste liquorQue nunca pruebe licor
May you never suffer sorrowQue nunca sufra una pena
And never fall in loveY que nunca se enamore
Of other people's womenDe la mujeres ajenas

May you never feel resentmentQue nunca sienta rencor
That runs in my veinsQue a mí me corre en las venas
Because it is sad to endurePor que es triste soportar
This terrible sentenceEsta terrible condena

And never fall in loveY que nunca se enamore
Of other people's womenDe la mujeres ajenas

May you never feel resentmentQue nunca sienta rencor
That runs in my veinsQue a mí me corre en las venas
Because it is sad to endurePor que es triste soportar
This terrible sentenceEsta terrible condena
