Colgando en tus manos (Hanging in your hands) by Carlos Baute (Venezuela) Feat. Marta Sanchez (Spain)
Translation: Laura

Quiza no fue coincidencia encontrarme contigo
Maybe it was not a coincidence meeting you
Tal vez esto lo hizo el destino
Maybe this was made by destiny/fate
Quiero dormirme de nuevo en tu pecho
I want to fall sleep in your chest again
y despues me despierten tus besos
and afterwards your kisses will wake me up

Tu sexto sentido sueña conmigo
your sixth sense dreams of me
Sé que pronto estaremos unidos
I know that soon we will be united
Esa sonrisa traviesa que vive conmigo
That naughty smile that lives with me
Sé que pronto estare en tu camino
I know that soon I will be in your path

Estribillo 1 (refrain)
Sabes que estoy colgando en tus manos
You know that I am hanging in your hands
Asi que no me dejes caer
so, do not let me fall
Sabes que estoy colgando en tus manos
You know that I am hanging in your hands

Estribillo 2
Te envío poemas de mi puño y letra (1)
I send you poems in my own handwriting (written by me)
Te envío canciones de 4.40

Te envío las fotos cenando en Marbella
I send you the photos of us having dinner in Marbella (3)
y cuando estuvimos por Venezuela
and when we were in Venezuela
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
Cuidado, cuidado
Careful, careful
Que mi corazon esta colgando en tus manos
That my heart is hanging in your hands

No perderé la esperanza de hablar contigo
I will not lose the hope of talking to you
No me importa qué dice el destino

Quiero tener tu fragancia conmigo
I want to have your scent with me
y beberme de ti lo prohibido

Careful, careful, very careful, careful
Quiero amanecer besando toda...

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.

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

Aly said...

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.

Laura said...

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

Unknown said...

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.

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...

Laura said...

Hi Tanya, "amanecer" is exactlz the opposite to fall asleep...

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.

Laura said...

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! 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.
