(*) Taylor swift-you belong with me

You're on the phone with your girlfriend, She's upset
She's going off about something that you said
She doesnt get your humour like I do

I'm in the room, its a typical Tuesday night
I'm listening to the kind of music she doesnt like
And she'll never know your story like I do

But she wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts
She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming bout the day when you'll wake up and find
That what you're lookin for has been here the whole time

If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along so why can't you see?
You belong with me
You belong with me

Walkin the streets with you in your worn out jeans
I cant help thinking this is how it ought to be
Laughing on the park bench thinkin to myself
Hey isnt this easy?

And you've got a smile that could light up this whole town
I havent seen it in awhile, since she brought you down
You say you find I know you better than that
Hey, Whatcha doing with a girl like that?

She wears high heels, I wear sneakers
She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming bout the day when you'll wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time

If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along so why can't you see?
You belong with me

Standin by, waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know that?
You belong with me
You belong with me

Oh I remember you driving to my house in the middle of the night
I'm the one who makes you laugh when you know you're about to cry
I know your favorite songs and you tell me about your dreams
I think I know where you belong. I think I know it's with me.

Can't you see that I'm the one who understand you?
Been here all along so why can't you see?
You belong with me

Standing by or waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know that
You belong with me
You belong with me

Have you ever thought just maybe
You belong with me
You belong with me

You're on the phone with your girlfriend, She's upset
She's going off about something that you said
She doesnt get your humour like I do

Estás en el teléfono con tu novia; ella está molesta
Te está reprochando por algo que dijiste
No entiende tu sentido del humor como yo

I'm in the room, its a typical Tuesday night
I'm listening to the kind of music she doesnt like
And she'll never know your story like I do

Yo estoy en mi habitación; es un martes común y corriente
Estoy escuchando la música que a ella no le gusta
Y nunca conocerá tu historia como yo

But she wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts
She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming bout the day when you'll wake up and find
That what you're lookin for has been here the whole time

Pero ella se pone faldas cortas; yo me pongo camisetas
Ella es capitana de animadoras y yo me mantengo en las gradas
Soñando con el día en el que te despiertes y te encuentres con
Que lo que siempre buscabas aquí siempre ha estado

If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along so why can't you see?
You belong with me
You belong with me

Si pudieras ver que soy yo la que te comprendo
Siempre he estado aquí, ¿por qué no te das cuenta?
Tu lugar es a mi lado
Tu lugar es a mi lado

Walkin the streets with you in your worn out jeans
I cant help thinking this is how it ought to be
Laughing on the park bench thinkin to myself
Hey isnt this easy?

Caminando por las calles contigo con tus jeans gastados
No puedo evitar pensar que así es como debe ser
Riéndome en el banco pensando
Oye, ¿qué fácil es esto?

And you've got a smile that could light up this whole town
I havent seen it in awhile, since she brought you down
You say you find I know you better than that
Hey, Whatcha doing with a girl like that?

Y tienes una sonrisa que puede iluminar todo este pueblo
Hace tiempo que no la veo, desde que ella te viene angustiando
Dices que se te hace que yo te conozco mejor
Oye, ¿qué haces con una chica como ella?

She wears high heels, I wear sneakers
Ella usa tacones; yo me pongo tenis
----REPETIR---
She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming bout the day when you'll wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time

If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along so why can't you see?
You belong with me
---REPETIR---

Standin by, waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know that?
You belong with me
You belong with me

Parada por ahí, esperándote por la puerta de atrás
Todo este tiempo, ¿cómo es que no lo sabías?
Tu lugar es a mi lado
Tu lugar es a mi lado

Oh I remember you driving to my house in the middle of the night
I'm the one who makes you laugh when you know you're about to cry
I know your favorite songs and you tell me about your dreams
I think I know where you belong. I think I know it's with me.

Oh, te recuerdo llevándome a casa en la medianoche
Soy yo la que te hace reír cuando sabes que estás a punto de llorar
Conozco tus canciones favoritas y me cuentas tus sueños
Creo saber dónde te corresponde estar. Creo saber que es conmigo.

---REPETIR---
Can't you see that I'm the one who understand you?

Standing by or waiting at your back door

You belong with me
You belong with me
---REPETIR---

Have you ever thought just maybe
You belong with me

Nunca has pensado que tal vez
Tu lugar es a mi lado

May I offer you some suggestions or alternative translation of some sentences?..

Thanks Zahra! I thought about translating the line "You belong with me" as "Tú me perteneces" too but the fact that she's saying with me instead of to me was throwing me off.

I know.. its a tricky translation in Spanish... or it can also be translated as "Tú perteneces conmigo" ...but that does not sound right, isn't?

Thank you so much

you're welcome!
