I can't help but love you.
The problem with this sentence is that many other translations say: No puedo dejar de quererte. (I can't avoid loving you.)

But would the correct one be this 'No puedo sino quererte'? Thank you :)

Answer

If a person said this seriously, then the connotation is that no matter what the person says or does, they cannot stop loving the other person. Perhaps they don't want to love the person, but they do anyway and they cannot stop themselves. With that in mind, perhaps you will be able to choose the most appropriate equivalent in Spanish. Maybe both can express this?

N.B It is possible to say this phrase in a joking manner i.e. something like 'Although you annoy me, I can't help but love you', which is more like you love someone/find them endearing in spite of other less good parts of their personality.

Answer

En español he visto traducido  "I cant help" como =  "No puedo evitarlo", así yo siempre lo recuerdo .
Saludos

Answer

I can't say in Spanish but in Portuguese it would be 'Eu não posso lhe ajudar mas eu te amo'. The translation of Portuguese to Spanish using google was 'No puedo ayudarte, pero te quiero'. Does it makes sense for you ?
