    Please translate this song into English.


    Antes de conocerte el mundo era plano
    Aunque lo discuta usted Señor Galilei
    Y me canse de besar ranas en vano
    Pero el príncipe azul
    Jamás no encontré

    Y así llegaste tu
    Devolviéndome la fe
    Sin poemas y sin flores
    Con defectos con errores
    Pero en pie

    Y siento
    Algo en ti algo entre los dos
    Que me hace insistir
    Cuando miro en tus pupilas se que Dios no dejo de existir
    Y siento
    Algo en ti algo entre los dos
    Que me hace insistir
    Cuando miro en tus pupilas se que Dios no dejo de existir

    Tu lo haces vivir
    Tu lo haces vivir

    La vida es una colección de recuerdos
    Pero a nada como tu recuerdo tan bien
    Desde la redondez que tienen tus labios
    Al olor de tu pelo
    Al color de tu piel

    No pienses que te iras y me voy a resignar
    Eres lo mejor que me ha pasado
    Entre lo mundano y lo sagrado
    Y aun mas

    Antes de conocerte el mundo era plano
    Aunque lo discuta usted Señor Galilei
    Y me canse de besar ranas en vano
    Pero el príncipe azul
    Jamás no encontré

    Before knowing you the world was flat...
    ...even if you discuss about it, Mr Galilei
    And I got tired of kissing frogs in vain
    But the enchanted prince,...
    ...I have never found him

    Y así llegaste tu
    Devolviéndome la fe
    Sin poemas y sin flores
    Con defectos con errores
    Pero en pie

    And then you came along...
    ...giving me back the faith
    Without poems or flowers...
    ...but with defects with errors
    But standing tall

    Y siento
    Algo en ti algo entre los dos
    Que me hace insistir
    Cuando miro en tus pupilas se que
    Dios no dejo de existir
    Y siento
    Algo en ti algo entre los dos
    Que me hace insistir
    Cuando miro en tus pupilas
    sé que Dios no dejo de existir

    And I feel...
    ... something in you, something between us...
    ... that makes me persist/keep believing
    When I look into your pupils,... (into the eyes)
    ... I know that God has always existed
    And I feel...
    ... something in you something between us...
    ... that makes me persist/keep believing
    When I look into your pupils,...
    ... I know that God has always existed

    Tu lo haces vivir
    Tu lo haces vivir

    You make Him live (Him=God)
    You make Him live


    La vida es una colección de recuerdos
    Pero hay nada como tu recuerdo tan bien
    Desde la redondez que tienen tus labios
    Al olor de tu pelo
    Al color de tu piel

    Life is a collection of memories
    But there's nothing like the memories of you
    From the roundness of your lips
    to the perfum of your hair
    to the color of your skin


    No pienses que te iras y me voy a resignar
    Eres lo mejor que me ha pasado
    Entre lo mundano y lo sagrado
    Y aun mas

    Don't think that if you go, I'm going to resign myself
    You're the best thing that happened to me
    Between the mundane and the sacred
    And even more

    ________________________

    Berna, I have two points:

    (i) Dios no dejó de existir literally this should be God never stopped existing but this doesn't sounds good for me

    (ii) Pero a nada como tu recuerdo I have never seen such contruction, I can't say if the correction I did is really necessary...

    Thank you so much Algebra. You always do your best.
    I know Spanish only basic, I can understand a little but not too much.
    Pero a nada como tu recuerdo-Maybe it's the wrong lyrics.
    Also I know that dejo 'dejar' means stop/leave.
    What does dejo mean? It means I stopped or God stopped?

    Shakira - In your pupils


    Before of to know you the world was flat
    even though it discussed you Sir Galileo
    and I tired myself of to kiss frogs in vein
    But the principle blue
    never no I will find

    And like so you arrived
    Returning to me the faith
    Without poems without flowers
    With defects with errors
    But in foot

    And i feel
    Something in you something in the two
    That it makes me insist
    When I look in your pupils I know that god no it left of to exist
    and I feel
    something in you something between the two
    That it makes me insist
    When I look in your pupils I know that god no it left of to exist

    You you make it live
    You you make it live

    The life is a collection of memories
    But to nothing you I remember also
    From the roundness that your lips have
    To the scent of your hair
    To the color of your skin

    Do not think that you will go and I am going to resign
    You are the best that has happened to me
    In between the mundane and the sacred
    and even more

    Thanks craziedood for improving the text, I never thought that (i) could be possible in English and (ii) is the right verb for that task, and (iii) was somewhat trick for me, because I only knew the regency recuerdar+de, never recuerdar+a/ Muchias gracias
