See the lyrics to “Si no quieres no” in English below, written by Ricardo Arjona in 1994
If You Don’t Want To
Verse 1
If you don’t want to,
Don’t ask me to do it,
Don’t even think of me,
Don’t make me suffer.Chorus
If you don’t want to,
Just tell me straight out,
Don’t try to hide it,
It’s better to be clear.Verse 2
Don’t pretend to want me,
When you don’t,
It’s better to be honest,
Than to make me wait in vain.Chorus
If you don’t want to,
Just tell me straight out,
Don’t try to hide it,
It’s better to be clear.Bridge
It’s hard to let go,
But it’s better than being deceived,
Tell me now if you feel nothing,
So I can find a way to move on.Chorus
If you don’t want to,
Just tell me straight out,
Don’t try to hide it,
It’s better to be clear.Outro
If you don’t want to,
Don’t pretend to care,
Just let me know,
And I’ll learn to live without you.
