I'm trying to find songs to make a CD for my ex, I want them to all be in Spanish. Now, seeing how I don't completely understand Spanish it's hard for me to find songs.
I'm looking for love songs, about breaking up (not a bad break-up), about missing someone, or about forgiveness, that type of stuff.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
This is what I have so far, but I'm up for anything. I think these fit the criteria, if you don't think the lyrics might be right for what I'm looking for, please let me know...
Marco Antonio Solis - No hay nada mas dificil que vivir sin ti/ There's nothing more difficult than living without you
Te extraño mas que nunca y no se que hacer
I MISS YOU MORE THAN EVER AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO
despierto y te recuerdo al amanecer
I WAKE UP AND I REMEMBER YOU IN THE MORNING
espera otro dia por vivir sin ti
I AM WAITING FOR ANOTHER DAY TO BE WITHOUT YOU
el espejo no miente me veo tan diferente
THE MIRROR DOESN'T LIE, I'VE CHANGED SO MUCH
me haces falta tu
I MISS YOU
La gente pasa y pasa siempre van y van
PEOPLE COME AND GO
el ritmo de la vida me parece mal
LIFE'S COURSE SEEMS WRONG
era tan diferente cuando estabas tu
IT WAS SO DIFFERENT WHEN YOU WERE HERE
si que era diferente cuando estabas tu
YES IT WAS DIFFERENT WHEN YOU WERE HERE
No hay nada mas dificil que vivir sin ti
THERE'S NOTHING MORE DIFFICULT THAN LIVING WITHOUT YOU
sufriendo en la espera de verte llegar
SUFFERING WHILE WAITING TO SEE YOU COME
el frio de mi cuerpo pregunta por ti
THE CLODNESS OF MY BODY ASKS ABOUT YOU
y no se donde estas
AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU ARE
si no te hubieras ido seria tan feliz
IF YOU HAVEN'T LEFT I WOULD HAVE BEEN SO HAPPY
No hay nada mas dificil que vivir sin ti
THERE'S NOTHING MORE DIFFICULT THAN LIVING WITHOUT YOU
sufriendo en la espera de verte llegar
SUFFERING WHILE WAITING TO SEE YOU COME
el frio de mi cuerpo pregunta por ti
THE CLODNESS OF MY BODY ASKS ABOUT YOU
y no se donde estas
AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU ARE
si no te hubieras ido seria tan feliz
IF YOU HAVEN'T LEFT I WOULD HAVE BEEN SO HAPPY
La gente pasa y pasa siempre van y van
PEOPLE COME AND GO
el ritmo de la vida me parece mal
THE LIFE COURSE SEEMS WRONG
era tan diferente cuando estabas tu
IT WAS SO DIFFERENT WHEN YOU WERE HERE
si que era diferente cuando estabas tu
YES IT WAS DIFFERENT WHEN YOU WERE HERE
No hay nada mas dificil que vivir sin ti
THERE'S NOTHING MORE DIFFICULT THAN LIVING WITHOUT YOU
sufriendo en la espera de verte llegar
SUFFERING WHILE WAITING TO SEE YOU COME
el frio de mi cuerpo pregunta por ti
THE CLODNESS OF MY BODY ASKS ABOUT YOU
y no se donde estas
AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU ARE
si no te hubieras ido seria tan feliz
IF YOU HAVEN'T LEFT I WOULD HAVE BEEN SO HAPPY
There are many other songs that come to my mind like:
Enrique Iglesias - Nunca te olvidare (I will never forget you)
Ricky Martin - Vuelve (Come back) or Tal Vez (Maybe)
Luis Miguel - Que seas feliz (I wish you to be happy)
David Bisbal - Esta ausencia (This absence)
Marco Antonio Solis - Sigue sin mi (Go on without me)
Ricardo Montaner & Alessandra Rosaldo - Amarte es mi pecado (Loving you is my sin)
Thalia - No me ensenaste (You didn't teach me (how to live without you))
Gloria Estefan - Hoy (Today)
If you have the time, listen to them and any lyrics you don't understand I'm willing to translate.
Thanks so much for the reply. I listened to most of them and they sound really nice. Not sure if you're familiar with these, but do you think any of the following artists have any songs you think might work?:
Intocable
Grupo Montez de Durango
K-Paz de la Sierra
Los Horoscopos de Durango
Julieta Venegas
Some songs I like the sound of, but I don't know what all the lyrics mean lol. These are the ones I have that I like:
Intocable - Alguien te va a hacer llorar
Intocable - Aire
Intocable - Soldedad
Intocable - En Paz Descanse
Intocable - Momentos
Grupo Montez de Durango - Lagrimas de Cristal
K-Paz - Mi Credo
K-Paz - Volvere
K-Paz - Imposible Olvidarte
I read the lyrics and here are the main ideas and my opinion about what is right for your CD:
Intocable - Alguien te va a hacer llorar (Someone's gonna make you cry)
- it's about a bad relationship where he got hurt and now he tells her that when she's gonna get hurt by another man she'll realize how is it like to suffer and she'll feel sorry for the way she treated him.
Something like she's gonna get her punishment for the bad way she treated him.
*I don't think it's appropriate for what you're searching for because it tells the story of a bad break-up, and from what I gathered your's wasn't like that.
Intocable - Aire (Air)
- about his feelings for the woman he loves, saying she's his air and his reason for living.
*It's ok for what you're searching for (I have to say it's a song for a woman coming from a man, but I guess it goes both ways).
Intocable - Soledad (Loneliness)
- even though he said he won't look for her again, he realizes she's the one that makes his world go round. In his loneliness he feels like dying because she's not with him.
*Good for the cd.
Intocable - En Paz Descanse (Rest in peace)
- a review of their relationship; he thinks she lied when she told him she loved him and so it's better that is over. May their relationship rest in peace because something was missing and it's better off to be apart.
*Good for the cd if you want to send him the message that you think it's better to be apart.
Grupo Montez de Durango - Lagrimas de Cristal (Krystal Tears)
- when she left, he kept her tears that will remind him of her. he also tells her she won't find another man like him.
*I think it's too light, it has no real message.
K-Paz - Mi Credo (My prayer)
- he says the woman is his relligion and that he'd rather die than not to see her or hug her.
*It's ok, the lyrics are nice.
K-Paz - Volvere (I will return)
- he has to leave and be apart from her for a year; he tells her he loves her and that he will come back and they will soon be together again.
*They have to stay apart, it's not their choice; but for the idea of one lover coming back, it's ok for your CD, too.
K-Paz - Imposible Olvidarte (Impossible to forget you)
- he tells her it's impossible to forget her and even from his grave he'll still be loving her, beyond time.
*It's nice, if you still want to tell him that you love him.
Hope you have some idea now and you can choose what you think it's more appropriate for what you're really searching for.
Perdóname todo si es que te ofendí,
I am sorry if i offended you
Perdóname todo si es que te fallé,
I an sorry for everything if i failed
Es que no contaba con tu corazón
is that i didnt count with your heart
Andaba deprisa y no pensaba en tí.
I was in a rush and didnt think of you
Cuando está tan cerca la felicidad
When hapiness is so close
Los ojos del alma no saben mirar
the eyes of the soul cant see
Y a veces de pronto vemos escapar
and sometimes all of a sudden we see going away
Aquello que siempre debimos amar
that, that we always shouldve loved
Y es que necesito tu perdón ahora,
and is that i need your forgiveness now
Si no estás aquí me mata la demora
if you are not here it will kill me
Sólo sabe perdonar quien ha querido con el corazón.
the only one that knows how to forgive is that that has loved with the heart
Si tú me perdonas yo no voy a irme,
If you forgive me I wont go
Voy a darte todo voy a decidirme
I will give you everything, I will decide\
No te quedes en la sombra ya retorna
Dont stay on the shadow, come back
Yo preciso amarte, perdóname hoy.
I need to love you, forgive me today
Si tú no regresas ya no tengo juicio
If you dont come back I have no "judment"
El tiempo contigo no se em olvidó
The time with you, i have not forgot
Es que no comprendes que te necesito
is it that you dont understand that i need u
Te llevo en mi sangre siempre como un vicio.
i have u in my blood as a vice
Si tú no regresas no hay felicidad,
if you dont come back there is no happiness
Sólo la tristeza en mí se quedará
only sadness will stay on me
Esta vida mía no da para más
this life doesnt give me for anything else
Si no me iluminas con tu libertad.
if i am not lighted by ur freedom
Y es que necesito tu perdón ahora,
and i need you to forgive me now
Si no estás aquí me mata la demora
Sólo sabe perdonar quien ha querido con el corazón.
Si tú me perdonas yo no voy a irme,
Voy a darte todo voy a decidirme
No te quedes en la sombra ya retorna
Yo preciso amarte, perdóname hoy.
Nda mejor que tenerte cerca, no hay alegría que me convenza,
there is nothing better that have you around, there is no happiness that can convince me
Teniendo tu amor ya no habrá fronteras, tengo que encontrarte hoy.

Y es que necesito tu perdón ahora...
