Posdata Lyrics in English Melendi

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Posdata by Melendi from Spanish to English.
I only have a photograph
To remember what our love was
You only left me creams in the bathroom
And our answering-machine message
It's likely that it surprises you that I'm writing you
The day after seeing you with him
I don't want you to think badly about what I say
Let me tell you only as a friend
Just a couple of months ago
I saw a girl in the park
She was crying inconsolably, and when I asked what's wrong
She told me everything's because of a coward
That filled me with lies
And I've dishonored my father
Because of him I left the man
That had always loved me
I quit school
I pushed my friends aside
Until one day my father said leave
He was thirty-five, I was seventeen
And don't think that it's an old wives' tale
I beg you, don't look for a moral
If I tell you this it's because I've loved you
Please pay attention to what I say
Then I kept seeing her two or three more times
I think because she reminded me of you
We only talked about silly things
But I couldn't make her laugh
Why do you still drag that pain?
I asked and she couldn't answer me
And after sighing and swallowing
She picked up the story that began that day
I'm alone and broke
He's wrecked my life
For now I'm staying
At a friend's place
And lowering her voice she said through her teeth
I can't go to my parents
While she stroked her belly
When I gave her the news
The look on her face changed
She slipped her hand into her pocket
To pull out a ring
And angrily showed me that snapshot
This is him with his two kids and
This is his wife Milania
And don't think that it's an old wives' tale
I beg you, don't look for a moral
If I tell you this it's because I've loved you
Please pay attention to what I say
Because now comes the part
That's hardest for me to tell you
Because I know your gaze
When you're in love, but the man
With whom yesterday you walked hand in hand
Was the same man in the photograph
That she showed me
It might look like I want
You to dump that guy
But really the only thing that I want
Is that you don't suffer, my love
Because I still love you
That didn't change
P.S
He'll stitch lies for you
I'll improvise truths
He shines only in your eyes
Mine, though now red
Clear like springs
He'll lie down in the getaway
I'll always be by your side
He'll mislead your doubts with thorned velvet
And when his summer ends
Anxious, feverish and leap-yeared in Madrid
I'll be the reckless September
That sweeps everything away
The one that hugs the last ray
Of the August that no longer breathes
I'll be your new moon, and I want to
I'll be it anyway
But we still have summer left
Where the moon and the nights
Are still very short

SONG MEANING

“Posdata” is a roller-coaster confession where Melendi mixes a love letter with a detective story. The singer starts by rummaging through the leftovers of a past relationship — a single photo, some lotions in the bathroom, a voicemail greeting — but things take a sharp turn when he meets a heart-broken teenage girl in the park. Her tragic tale of an older man who ruined her life feels distant… until the narrator discovers that this very same man is now the new boyfriend of his ex. Cue the gasp: the woman he still loves is walking hand-in-hand with the villain of someone else’s nightmare.

From there, the song becomes part warning, part plea, part vow. Melendi does not beg his former lover to come back out of jealousy; he begs her to save herself. He paints a stark contrast between his honest, enduring affection and the other man’s velvet-covered lies, promising to be the “September” that sweeps away a toxic summer. Beneath the catchy melody lies a message about recognizing red flags, choosing genuine love over polished deception, and understanding that sometimes the person who still cares for you is the one shouting the hardest to keep you from harm.
