Quiero Ser
Amaia Montero

Quiero ser, una palabra serena y clara
Quiero ser, un alma libre, de madrugada
Quiero ser una emigrante, de tu boca delirante,
De deseos que una noche convertiste en mi dolor.

Quiero creer, quiero saber,
que dormiré a la verita tuya
Quiero esconderme del miedo y mirar de una vez
Los ojos que tiene la luna.

Quiero cantar a la libertad,
y caminar cerca del mar, amarradita siempre a tu cintura,
que esta locura de amarte no puede acabar
por mucho que te entren las dudas
de si eres tú el que me hace tan feliz.

Quiero ser, la que te jure amor eterno.
Quiero ser, una parada en la estación
que lleva tu nombre.

Quiero ser el verbo fuego,
quiero andarme sin rodeos, confesarte
que una tarde empecé a morir por ti

Quiero creer, quiero saber,
que dormiré a la verita tuya
Quiero esconderme del miedo y mirar de una vez
Los ojos que tiene la luna

Quiero cantar a la libertad,
y caminar cerca del mar, amarradita
siempre a tu cintura,
que esta locura de amarte no puede acabar
por mucho que te entren las dudas
de si eres tú el que me hace tan feliz.

Thank you, this template is useful. I have my original translations in Word docs using double column format that's because the copy-paste produces this hard-to-view format here on allthelyrics.com.
There is any way to set double column on here? It's laborious to type line by line the text.

Well you should try MS Excel, I always do that

1- In one column you put the text in the original language - yes, select all the text to be translated from the source page and paste it on Excel. In the other column you insert the translated version, or even you can start translating the original phrases right there in these lines beside the original. Do not forget that the lines original/translated text should match

2 - Select the whole table, and next Ctrl+C(Copy)

3 - Now go to MS Word and paste that text using Ctrl+V

4 - Seek for help typing F1 and type "Convertir texto en una tabla and get started how to do this or visit here http://www.ehow.com/how_2099597_conv...soft-word.html In the process, when converting table to text choose the option separar texto en párrafos and click &Ok, there you are, the text line by line. Then you will get this effect
Text
Text
Text
Text
. . .
5- Now copy and paste the new text generated here

You can even use 4 columns like this:

* | Original Phrase | ** | Translation
* | Original Phrase | ** | Translation
* | Original Phrase | ** | Translation

In place of * use the code "[ B ]" and in place of ** use the code "[ /B ]", but type it without a space between "[" and "B" or "]" and also "[" and "/B" or "]". And once you build this table you can save it and next just insert/erase data from columns 2 and 4

Thank you, I did it already. Do you know a way to put the text in 2 columns on here?
