Want to help me Translate an Enrique Iglesias song? I tried to translate the song, Lloro por Ti. I know there are several areas where I did a literal translation, completely missing expressions and/or the more poetic meaning. I would love if someone could tell me what the lyrics are "expressing" more than just the translation of words. This was a fun activity to practice my Spanish! Thanks for helping! Te busque en el infinito I looked for you in infinity Y en las huellas de tus labios and in the footprints of your lips En uno de tus cigarrillos In one of your cigarettes Esperando hasta el cansancio I am waiting until I’m exhasted Y tu me has echado al olvido And you make me oblivious Y la suerte se me escapa en un suspiro And I am lucky to escape in a sigh Y tu te me vas de las manos And you leave me in your hands Y la vida se me rompe en mil pedazos And my life is broken in a thousand peices Y yo And I… Lloro por ti, lloro por ti I cry for you, I cry for you Soando que lo nuestro tiene algo remedio I am dreaming that we have some remedy Lloro por ti I cry for you Es que no hay forma de olvidarme de tus besos There is no way I can forget your kisses Porque no dejo de pensar cunto te quiero Because I should not think about how much I love you Lloro por ti I cry for you Mariposa ilusionada Nervous Butterflies Con la luna reflejada en tu mirada With the moon reflecting in your image Te perdi en un laberinto I am lost by you in your maze Fu cautivo de tu amor, tu prisionero I was a captive of your love, a prisoner Y tu has llenado el vacio You have filled what was empty Un rincon donde tu boca fue mi alivio A corner where your mouth was my relief Y es que no encuentro una salida And I can not find a way out Una forma de curar estas heridas A way to cure these wounds Lloro por ti I cry for you

Want to help me Translate an Enrique Iglesias song?

I tried to translate the song, Lloro por Ti. I know there are several areas where I did a literal translation, completely missing expressions and/or the more poetic meaning. I would love if someone could tell me what the lyrics are "expressing" more than just the translation of words. This was a fun activity to practice my Spanish! Thanks for helping!

Y en las huellas de tus labios

En uno de tus cigarrillos

Esperando hasta el cansancio

Y tu me has echado al olvido
And you make me oblivious
Y la suerte se me escapa en un suspiro

Y tu te me vas de las manos
And you leave from my hands

Y la vida se me rompe en mil pedazos
And my life is broken in a thousand peices

Y yo
