Hi all
As you can see I have translated most of the lyrics, but there are a few things that I cant make sense of.
Anything with -?- or (in between) is where I got stuck.
Suggestions are very welcome, thanks.
Bossanova / Estopa
No me preguntes si anoche
Dont ask me if last night
Estuve en casa dormido
I was at home asleep
Tampoco que hacía mi coche
nor why my car was
En la puerta del bar del olvido
parked in front of the bar of oblivion / (left forgotten parked in front of the bar)
No preguntes si es que estaba
Dont ask me if I was
De fiesta con los amigos
Partying - (at the party) with friends
Que mis respuestas son balas
Because my answers would be like -bullets?
Para tu corazón herido
to your broken heart
Pero si me dejas esta noche yo te doy
But if you leave me tonight I will give you (this doesnt make sense to me, should it not be: if you DO NOT leave me tonight or: if you stay with me tonight?)
Todos los besos que te debo
All my kisses - (all the kisses I have)
Ya sé que siempre digo que empiezo a partir de hoy
I know I always say that I will from now on
Y que luego nunca me atrevo
And later I never -dare? -
Pero si me dejas yo te canto una bossanova
But if you leave me? I sing you a bossanova
Y no te voy a dejar
I will not go and leave you
Ni un minuto sola
not one minute by yourself
Si te dejas llevar como el mar lleva a las olas
If you let go- lose control? - like the sea -leads? the waves
Hasta las rocas
On the rocks
No preguntes por qué huele mi camiseta a pachuli
Dont ask why my shirt smells of patchouly (does patchouly refer to the actual patchouly hippy smell or does it just mean perfume to make it rhyme?)
Ni que ruido de mujeres se escuchaba cuando me llamaste al móvil
Nor why you heard the noises of women -talking? when you called me on my mobile
Que hay tragos que son amargos
There are drinks that are bitter - (some drinks are bitter)
Hasta los del mejor vino
even the best of wines
Unos cortos, otros largos,
some short some long ( I want to rephrase this, short and long doesnt make sense in the context, any ideas?)
Pero todos son dañinos.
But all are harmfull - but they all cause harm.
Thanks.
