(*) Please help me translate Josh Groban's song "Solo Por Ti"

"Solo Por Ti"

Dime qué haría de mis días,
quien soñaría si no estas.
Cómo podría respirar el aire,lejos de ti.
Cuando no estas aquí.

Solo por ti,caminaría
en la infinidad.
Afrontaría
contigo la eternidad.
Solo por tí...

Dime lo que siente tu alma,
dime por qué vive en mi.
No se pero voy muriendo lento
Solo sin tí.
Triste me quedo así...

Solo por tí,caminaría
en la infinidad.
Afrontaría
contigo la eternidad.
Solo por tí.

Te daré mil poesías,
las escribiré para tí.
Cantaré mis melodías,
con la música de tu alma...

Solo por tí,caminaría
en la infinidad.
Afrontaría,
contigo la eternidad...

Solo por ti,caminaría
en la infinidad.
Afrontaría,
amar por la eternidad...
Yo solo,solo por tí...


Please...anyone.

I am thinking about starting to learn Spanish, and I'm trying decide whether to do Latin American Spanish or Spanish of Spain. I'm trying to get a feel for what the difference sounds like; I'm guessing the major difference is pronunciation. I'm wondering what dialect Groban is using in this song.

Hello! Yes it varies a bit... Josh Groban uses Latin American spanish...

Thanks for the quick reply!

From what I've heard of both, I'm drawn to Latin American Spanish because it sounds better to me. I also heard that it is closer to the Spanish spoken in Spain in the 16th and 17th century which is cool as well.

How do people react to those who speak different dialects. If I learned Latin American Spanish and showed up to Madrid, would I be looked down upon?

Mmmm I don't know I'm from Mexico hahah but if someone comes here speaking spanish from Spain... as far as we can understand it's great! haha I think they'll do the same! It's like american and british english I guess

If you need any help or something, don't hesitate and feel free to ask whatever you want

Thank you so much Vanessa88! I just spent the last hour trying to translate "Solo Por Ti" with my Spanish Dictionary and Spanish 101 class notes and it was driving me crazy. It's a beautiful song. Thanks!!

So you're taking Spanish lessons after all?

LOVED THIS SONG SUNG BY Soraya. If you think this is good try "Mi Credo" by Pepe Aguilar, and "Las Llaves de mi alma" by Vicente Fernandez. two very romantic Spanish songs. I'm discovering Spanish music. much of it is very romantic, and deep. (be sure to get the translation)
