Shakira - Hay Amores

[amirican]

Ay! mi bien, que no haría yo por ti
Por tenerte un segundo, alejados del mundo
Y cerquita de mí
Ay! mi bien, como el río Magdalena
Que se funde en la arena del mar,
Quiero fundirme yo en ti.

Hay amores que se vuelven resistentes a los daños,
Como el vino que mejora con los años,
Asi crece lo que siento yo por ti.

Hay amores que se esperan al invierno y florecen
Y en las noches del otoño reverdecen
Tal como el amor que siento yo por ti.

Ay! mi bien, no te olvides del mar
Que en las noches me ha visto llorar
Tantos recuerdos de ti
Ay! mi bien, no te olvides del día
Que separó en tu vida,
De la pobre vida que me tocó vivir

Hay amores que se vuelven resistentes a los daños
Como el vino que mejora con los años
Así crece lo que siento yo por ti

Hay amores que parece que se acaban y florecen
Y en las noches del otoño reverdecen
Tal como el amor que siento yo por ti
Yo por ti...por ti...como el amor que siento yo por ti.

Can you please translate these lyrics for me to English... it's from one of her new songs that she recorded for the movie Love in the Time of Cholera. Thanks!

Oh my love! I’d do anything for you
to have you for a second, far away from the world
and close to me
Oh my love! Just like the Magdalena river
which merges into the sea sand,
I want to be one with you.

There are loves which become resistant to any damage,
just like wine improves its quality throughout the years,
in that same way my feelings for you grow ever stronger

There are loves which wait for the winter to bloom
and in the autumn evenings turn green again,
just like the love I feel for you.

Oh my love! Don’t forget the sea,
which has seen me crying at night
over all those memories I’ve got of you
Oh my love! Don’t forget the day
which separated your life
from this poor life of mine

There are loves which become resistant to any damage,
just like wine improves its quality throughout the years,
in that same way my feelings for you grow ever stronger

There are loves which seem to reach an end but then bloom
and in the autumn evenings turn green again,
just like the love I feel for you
I feel for you.. for you.. like the love I feel for you.

[amirican]

Thanks a lot!!!

[citlalli]

You're welcome

I think citlalli's translation added words that didn't necessarily belong as they weren't part of the original lyrics. There were other parts I simply didn't agree with.

Here's a cleaned up translation:
Oh my love*! There's nothing I wouldn't do for you
to have you for a second, far away from the world
and close to me
Oh my love! Just like the Magdalena river
which melts into the sand of the sea,
I want to melt with you.

There are loves which become resistant to damage,
just like wine improves through the years,
that's how my feelings for you grow.

There are loves which wait for winter and bloom
and in the autumn evenings turn green again,
just like the love I feel for you.

Oh my love! Don’t forget the sea,
which has seen me crying at night
so many memories of you.
Oh my love! Don’t forget the day
which separated your life
from this poor life that I had to live.


There are loves which become resistant to damage,
just like wine improves through the years,
that's how my feelings for you grow.

There are loves which seem to end and bloom
and in the autumn evenings turn green again,
just like the love I feel for you
I feel for you.. for you.. like the love I feel for you.


*"bien" was translated into "love" although it is not literal. "Bien" is used here as a term of endearment but literally means "good."

Oh! My wellbeing, what I would not do for you,
To have you for a moment, far from the world
And close to me

Oh! My wellbeing, as the Magdalena river
Renders itself into the sand of the sea
So I wish to render myself into you

There are loves that become impervious to pain,
And just as wine improves with the years,
So grows what I feel for you

There are loves that await the winter and flower
And in the autumn nights are reborn
Just as the love I have for you

Oh! My wellbeing, do not forget the sea,
Who in the evenings has seen me cry,
So many memories of you.

Oh! My wellbeing, do not forget the day
That separated your life
From the wretched life that was my lot to live.

There are loves that become impervious to pain,
And just as wine improves with the years,
So grows what I feel for you,

There are loves that seem to end and flower
And in the autumn nights are reborn
Just as the love I feel for you
I for you, for you, as the love I feel for you.
