Labuat - Soy Tu Aire

Okay Eric, I will take your advce Does anyone have the lyrics for this song?

I will dedicate my (non-existant as of yet) poor translation to Crisa for being the beautiful girl she is
To dear Karla for being the strong person she is
To lovely Ana Maria for making me fall in love with spanish and encouraging me to do something I think is impossible
And to Greg because its his favourite spanish song and if the lyrics are tasteless I will cheerfully beat him up

Viva you can find the translation here (I've already translated it a couple of months ago):

Thank you sweetie but Eric wants me to embarrass myself and translate one using a dictionary I only choose this song because I haven't read its translation before so I can't cheat be a doll and give me the lyrics?

Ok)) Here are the lyrics Good luck, I know you'll do a great job

Soy tu aire, soy del agua,
hago surcos pequeñitos en la cara derretida de tus canas,
y voy entrando poco a poco
muy poquito en tus cosquillas,
me acomodo, te incomodo pa’ que rías
y me cuelo en este enredo sin llamar, si avisar.
Soy tu aire, soy tu agua,
te me bebes te atraganto
me respiras te salpico
te me tragas
y me entretengo juego un rato en tus recuerdos
me los pongo en mis enaguas,
hago trizas tus lamentos creo fantasías locas
y confundo tus memorias con la punta de mis besos
soy del aire
soy del agua
soy del aire
soy del agua
pues lo dicen no me ates que me escapo entre medio de tus dedos
impasible te convierto lo imposible en impensado
y construyo entre un seguro un futuro improvisado
en que uno y uno no hagan dos
y los demás estén de mas
ya no sea nadie nadie nadie nadie nadie
soy tu aire
soy tu agua
soy tu aire
soy tu agua
soy tu aire
soy tu agua...

awww you are so sweet ya gameela, thank you for your words, and Im sure will not embarrass yourself like Crisa said... if you saw my first English translations.. were horrible we all feel the same when learning a new language, so dont worry, we are here to help

edit
I'd never heard before this song, is beautiful

I will try my best ya a7la girls, and if I fail miserably ill just write I love you for all the lines and dedicate that instead

One moment! I must correct some sentences:

hago surcos pequeñitos en la cera derretida de tus canas

y confundo tu memoria con la punta de mis besos

y construyo en lo inseguro un futuro improvisado

On the other hand, it reminds me too much other song:

oh I bet you clicked on that link to see the translation hehe

I'm joking.

and don't worry you won't embarrass yourself after all you are still learning just don't give up

I want to see the results

Nope Eric! And my terrible translation will be evidence that I didnt click on the translation

Voila!


Soy tu aire, soy del agua,
I am your air, I am the water
hago surcos pequeñitos en la cera derretida de tus canas,
Little grooves in the candle, melted in your grey hair
y voy entrando poco a poco
And I entered little by little

muy poquito en tus cosquillas,
Very small in your tickles
me acomodo, te incomodo pa’ que rías
I settle, you're uncomfortable...what laugh?
y me cuelo en este enredo sin llamar, si avisar.
And my school in this mess not calling, if noticing
Soy tu aire, soy tu agua,
I am your air, I am your water
te me bebes te atraganto
You make me drink, you choke me
The dictionary says bebes means baby...am I conjucating beber wrongly?
me respiras te salpico
I breathe, you splutter
te me tragas
I swallow
te me?
y me entretengo juego un rato en tus recuerdos
And I'm an entertaining game, a passing time in your memories
me los pongo en mis enaguas,
I put it in my petticoat
hago trizas tus lamentos creo fantasías locas
I shred your laments, I think crazy fantasies
y confundo tu memoria con la punta de mis besos
and I'm confused by your memories with the tip of my kisses
soy del aire
I am the air
soy del agua
I am the water
soy del aire
I am the air
soy del agua
I am the water
pues lo dicen no me ates que me escapo entre medio de tus dedos
Then say it, I am not ...I escaped from between your fingers
impasible te convierto lo imposible en impensado
Unmoved by your conversian, impossible in the unthinkable
y construyo en lo inseguro un futuro improvisado
And constructed in its feebleness, an improvised future
en que uno y uno no hagan dos
That one and one do not make two
y los demás estén de mas
And the rest are more
ya no sea nadie nadie nadie nadie nadie
One is no longer no longer no longer no longer
soy tu aire
I am your air
soy tu agua
I am your water
soy tu aire
I am your air
soy tu agua
I am your water
soy tu aire
I am your air
soy tu agua...
I am your water...



Phew!! Done, omg I'm so off Can I just say I totally hate the te me concept, ya3ni what?? Te me? Te amo, te extrano..


Enjoy!!

Rofl I just checked baby girls translation, I've conjugated the verbs all wrong

I think you did a good job!

My English is pathetic, but I´m going to make a few suggestions (sure, I´m wrong). Correct me, please:

hago surcos pequeñitos en la cera derretida de tus canas,
I make very small grooves at the melted candle of your grey hair
[...]
me acomodo, te incomodo pa’ que rías
I settle, I put you out to make you laugh

y me cuelo en este enredo sin llamar, sin avisar.
And I sip in this mess without calling, without notifying

te me bebes te atraganto
You drink me, I choke you

me respiras te salpico
you breathe me, I splash you
te me tragas
you swallow me
y me entretengo juego un rato en tus recuerdos
I amuse myself, I play a while in your memories

y confundo tu memoria con la punta de mis besos
and I confuse your memory with the tip of my kisses

no me ates que me escapo entre medio de tus dedos
don´t tie me, because I escape from between your fingers

impasible te convierto lo imposible en impensado
Unmoved I turn to you the impossible into the unthinkable
y construyo en lo inseguro un futuro improvisado
And I construct in the insecure an improvised future

y los demás estén de mas
and the rest not be needed

Oh wow my post looks impressive...like I actually know what I'm talking about Haha the only bit I actually understood was the chorus

Thank you doll

Momper, your english is fine I will have more questions later on though

Good Noor I see what you did there ;D

keep practicing and you will be talking in Spanish in no time try doing this in home, select a couple of songs and start translating then, after that check real translations and compare with your results I gotta tell you I started learning english that way

yallah ya habibty dont worry, I also think you did a good job, I wish I could do the same with any arabic song

the key is to keep practicing and never give up for our failures

Viva you did a great job for a beginner .

Keep on practicing and you'll become better

I must say I'm very impressed Viva specially when considering this is a rather tough text! Buen trabajo guapa y gracias por la dedicatoria ♥ :-*
