a nice collection of the performances. Thanks, Laura
4.40 is actually Juan Luis Guerra's band...
Thanks !! Specially for the foot notes. I was really curios what the hell is 4.40 !! And also the summer village. You are fantastic in this.
Muchas Gracias....
this is amazing, thanks Laura - only suggestion is i'd have put 'chest' instead of 'breast' in the first verse. It would be unusual for somebody to say i want to fall asleep in your breast, but fall asleep on your chest sounds ok.
This is an excellent translation! and the footnotes a helpful addition as well.
this is exactly what i was looking for! thank you!
me encanta esta cancion! thank you for putting it up and a translation too. this is awesome =)
thank you so muchH!!
Thanks Laura. I was trying to learn and sing this in the car on holiday whilst my Ukranian girlfriend translated. Just got home and found this online and wanted to say thanks for your efforts. Paul
Thanks ALOT for this translation. You did and AWESOME job!!
Just two little details: I'd say
"I want to fall sleep in your CHEST again" and "And so that you remember me and always have in your mind" not have ME, because what is has to be in her mind is that his heart is on her hands... Makes any sense?
Anyways, I really admire the job you did.
Y asi me recuerdes y tengas presente
And so that you remember me and always have present (in mind)
Que mi corazón está colgando en tus manos
that my heart is hanging in your hands
Actually, this first sentence can be translated in two ways:
Y asi me recuerdes y tengas presente
And so that you remember me and always have ME present (in mind)
Que mi corazón está colgando en tus manos
because my heart is hanging in your hands
You can also say:
Y asi me recuerdes y tengas presente, que mi corazon esta colgando en tus manos.
So that you remember me and keep in mind, that my hear is hanging in your hands.
Gracias por la traduccion Laura.
WOW! Muchas gracias Laura, he buscando una pagina con traducciones para mis amigos!! Y muchos Bravos :)
Thanks a lot Laura!!! Superb
Quiero amanecer besando toda...
But isn`t it better to translate this as: I want to fall asleep kissing you...
Hi Tanya, "amanecer" is exactlz the opposite to fall asleep...
Gracias laura! Me encanta! :)
Thanks for your work!
@footnotes: Carla is from Marbella and Carlos from Venezuela!
Marta Sanchez is from Madrid, Spain, and Carlos Baute is from Venezuela.
The most beautiful song i've ever heard. love it very much. this will be my most favorite songs ever.
tq for this lyrics in english. :)
I think 4.40 is for the length of the song. Like 4 min and 40 seconds and not the band but that is a good guess.
4.40 is the name of the band that used to play with Juan Luis Guerra.
Your translation is really good, but if you want to sound a little more poetic on "Quiero dormirme...besos," you might say:
I want to fall asleep again against your chest,
And afterwards be woken by your kisses.
and for "puño y letra" can be
"in my own handwriting"
Means the same, just a little bit more poetic.
thanks! great translation and awesome song! i'm going to try to memorize it and sing it and learn more spanish!!! :D
Wow I was looking for the english translation. Thank you! :)
Thanks a lot for this song and the translation. My girlfriend is Mexican so now I can sing it to her with knowing what it is about.
Hi,
I've just found about this blog and it's awesome! Learning Spanish should be easier now for me. Muchas Gracias!!! Keep going!
Thanks! This translation is great.
Maybe it was not a coincidence meeting you
Maybe this was made by destiny
I want to fall sleep in your chest again
and afterwards your kisses will wake me up..
this song is like our story.. I love you Alberto..
Thanks bro :D
Thanks! I had no idea what he meant by 4:40. I wanted to explain to my students (was thinking they meant the length of the songs). I'm going to save this resource for when I have future questions.
