I noticed that there were a couple of quiestions by both of you as to some meanings. I am a native speaker and can translate the literal as well as figurative language, so I hope you enjoy these lyrics. I realize this is a couple years late, but I was looking for a translation and ran into this one. Also noticed the last stanza wasn't translated.

I Want

I want to make the biggest mistake in the world
And travel in a kayak from Miami to Havana
I want to drink a cup of coffee in sight of the Mediterranean
And wake up in Tulum while chasing a star

I want to ask Jesus to show himself if he’s here
And that my light gets cut off so I can light a candle...and dream
I want to give a flower to the love of my wound; (only way to translate is literally)
I want to start afresh and even change my name

I want to stone the vestibule of lost causes (vestibule carries the meaning of entrance more
And to watch my dad convincing my mother. than does hallway)
I want you to say what your eyes are screaming;
I want to lose the valor that I gained from cowardice

And I want to run around while I fly a kite (trepar un cometa, not individually climb a comet)
And to lift the skirt of the neighborhood’s babe (gorda can also be babe)
I want live without a script or the same old recipe
I want to add a letter to the alphabet
I want to forget you
I want to know that it’s for me.

I love you and I can’t love while I continue to love (querer needs to stay as love in both lines for
It’s useless to think that to love is to forget you it to stay more poetic)
I want to find another love and to lose it at once
To forget you for the rest of my life
I want to whistle ‘Let it Be’ to the rays of the moon (yes moonlight, but the rays
I want to wash away in the sea that which isn’t the future. personifies it more)

And I want to run around while I fly a kite
And to lift the skirt of the neighborhood’s babe
I want live without a script or the same old recipe
I want to add a letter to the alphabet
I want to forget you
I want to know that it’s for me.

I want to experiment at alchemy (alchemy carries the 'mysteries' of Tibet better than chemistry)
And to search in Tibet some kind of answer
I want to run away from myself so that I’m not from here, nor from any place
Lose myself in anthropology
Devote my life to philanthropy
As long as I forget you, as long as I erase you

And I want to run around while I fly a kite
And to lift the skirt of the neighborhood’s babe
I want to stand on Iraq and send a greeting
To the mother of the world’s biggest fool
I want to forget you
I want to know it’s for me
I want to give a flower to the love of my wound.
