    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 luck is escaping from me in a sigh

    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
    And I…
    Lloro por ti, lloro por ti
    I cry for you, I cry for you

    Soñando 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 don't stop thinking about how much I love you

    Lloro por ti
    I cry for you
    Mariposa ilusionada
    hopeful Butterfly

    Con la luna reflejada en tu mirada
    With the moon reflecting in your look

    Te perdi en un laberinto
    I  lost you in a maze

    Fuí cautivo de tu amor, tu prisionero
    I was a captive of your love, your 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
