Si te Perdiera (Luis Miguel) in English please!

Thanks for any help! Kathi

Si te perdiera, porque la vida cuando menos te lo esperas te da la espalda, te hace jugadas aunque tengas buena estrella, me moriría de dolor si te perdiera, después de amarte la vida entera.

Si te perdiera, te llevarías los colores de mi vida,
me dejarías, sin claridad, sin resplandor y sin poemas, me moriría de dolor si te perdiera, después de amarte la vida entera.

Sería total mi soledad, seria total mi desnudez, la de los árboles heridos del otoño.

Cristales rotos en mi alma, y en mis noches pura escarcha, y el silencio por respuestas si te nombro.

Y ante mis ojos, no ver tus ojos, Solo vacío y soledad si te perdiera,
Si te perdiera.

Si te perdiera por que así lo decidieras, no seria yo tan solo y en la vida la perdiera.

Te envolverían para siempre mil recuerdos y los sueños que pasamos,
con amor la vida entera,

Se romperían, tantas promesas, mal gastarías tanto amor, Si te perdiera…

If I'd lose you,
because life turns you back when you least expect it, it plays games with you even if you're under the lucky star,
I'd die of pain if I'd lose you after loving you all my life

If I'd lose you, you'd take away the colors of my life
you would leave me without clarity, without brightness and without poems, I would die of pain if I'd lose you, after loving you all my life

My solitudw would be complete, I would be completely naked, as the trees in the autumn

Broken crystals in my soul, and in my night pure frost, and if I call you the silence is the answer

And not to see your eyes in front of mine, only empty solitude if I'd lose you, if I'd lose you

If I'd lose you because you decided so, I wouldnt be so alone and I would lose it in life

Thousand memories and the dreams we had would wrap you, whole life with love

All those promises would break, you'd waste so much love, if I'd lose you

Amazing job! Just one thing, the equivalent in English to the line above is "because life gives you the cold shoulder"

Thanks for the correction!

Thanks to both of you - it's a beautiful song and I couldn't make any sense of it!
