A Pretty Image Not Easily Erased

Can I admire your beauty and be still charmed? Jealousy was restlessness when a guy asked you to dance with him, I watched you two fliting; do I look so sincere in spite of my crazy cheating? I can tremble at a pretty image not easily erased, It's the heavy guilt inside, because I have cheated! Oh, darling...hurt me the same way I've hurt you so badly; don't be kind to a cheater, he can't change his playboy's ways! Oh, darling...tell it straight, I smother you with hundreds of lies: I don't have the guts to admit my wrong, I'd rather face insanity! Can I keep away from a pretty image not easily erased by my obsessive schemes that make me shiver? I cheat and I show no regret, I fool myself I'll never be caught lying when the lipstick of a stranger is smeared on my face and her perfume is proof of my cheating: no man can escape a lovely woman so tempting! Oh, darling... don't be a pretty image easily erased by my infidelity, I don't deserve anything so precious; oh, darling...no absence is greater and sadder than yours: do what is right, love someone who's faithful and good! This romance wasn't based on love but on a terrible lie, all the lies that tore you apart, but tears won't help a bit; go and find your ideal man, that loving man that I am not: find your happiness in his true arms, don't hold onto me!
