Hola Damarys! Funny because it was your translation/correction of a Cusillios song which made me want to sign up and post... so thanks very much in advance!!

“El Amor en Carro” of Julio Chaidez

Como te digo que quiero desirte que te amo,
como calmar estos nervios que siento al mirarte,
¿Cómo es que tu andas con ese?
¿Cómo es que te enamoro?
ese corazón de piedra, tan anti-romantico, antipatico.

Tal vez el tenga carro nuevo y yo no
tal vez el tiene cuenta y yo puro cuento
tal vez su papa sea un politico y eso te basto

Ahora el amor anda en cuatro llantas,
con un pantalon o camisa de marca.
Ahora el amor lo paran los transitos
se para en semaforos y hasta hace alto
Ahora el amor va con el mecanico tiene bolsas de aire y es polarizado.
Ahora el amor nos lleva para todos lados.

Me dijo un amigo que a visto tu amor en un carro.
Me dijo un doctor que aun hay epidemia de humanos.
Ahora el amor anda en cuatro llantas,
con un pantalon o camisa de marca.

Ahora el amor lo paran los transitos
se para en semaforos y hasta hace alto
Ahora el amor va con el mecanico tiene bolsas de aire y es polarizado.
Ahora el amor nos lleva para todos lados.

Me dijo un amigo que a visto tu amor en un carro.
Me dijo un doctor que aun ay epidemia de humanos

“El Amor en Carro” of Julio Chaidez
"Love in a Car"

Como te digo que quiero desirte que te amo,
How do I tell you that I want to say that I love you
como calmar estos nervios que siento al mirarte,
How do I calm these nerves I feel when I see you

¿Cómo es que tu andas con ese?
How is it that you are with that guy?
¿Cómo es que te enamoro?
How did he make you fall in love with him? (How did he romance you?)
ese corazón de piedra, tan anti-romantico, antipatico.
that one with the heart of stone, so anti-romantic, unpleasant

Tal vez el tenga carro nuevo y yo no
maybe he has a new car and I don't
tal vez el tiene cuenta y yo puro cuento
Maybe he has an account and I only have stories
tal vez su papa sea un politico y eso te basto
Maybe his dad is a politician, and that was enough for you

Ahora el amor anda en cuatro llantas,
Now love is on four wheels
con un pantalon o camisa de marca.
with a pair of pants or a designer shirt
Ahora el amor lo paran los transitos
Now love is stopped in transit
se para en semaforos y hasta hace alto
it waits at traffic lights and even comes to a full stop
Ahora el amor va con el mecanico tiene bolsas de aire y es polarizado.
Now love goes to the mechanic, it has pockets of air and is polorized
Ahora el amor nos lleva para todos lados.
Now love takes us everywhere

Me dijo un amigo que a visto tu amor en un carro.
A friend told me that he has seen your love in a car
Me dijo un doctor que aun hay epidemia de humanos.
A doctor told me that there is even an epidemic among humans
Ahora el amor anda en cuatro llantas,
Now love is on four wheels
con un pantalon o camisa de marca.
with a pair of pants or a designer shirt.

Ahora el amor lo paran los transitos
Now love is stopped in transit
se para en semaforos y hasta hace alto
it waits at traffic lights and even comes to a full stop
Ahora el amor va con el mecanico tiene bolsas de aire y es polarizado.
Now love goes to the mechanic, it has pockets of air and is polorized
Ahora el amor nos lleva para todos lados.
Now love takes us everywhere

Me dijo un amigo que a visto tu amor en un carro.
A friend told me that he has seen your love in a car
Me dijo un doctor que aun hay epidemia de humanos.
A doctor told me that there is even an epidemic among humans

Flattery will get you everywhere! Interesting song.

Hola again Damarys!

Thank you so much for doing that I was trying every translation web site and Spanish slang book I own to figure it out but my effort seemed more like a scene from "Lost in Translation"... So thanks bigtime!

One question... in the lyric that reads: "tiene bolsas de aire y es polarizado"/"it has pockets of air and is polorized"... could that be translated as it has dual airbags? That's my own translation but I'm way out of your league on most of the rest!


b/t/w if you have a minute check out the song/video on utube... it's pretty cool! youtube.com/watch?v=EAkvCSHIX4I

YES!!!!!!! Dual airbags, sounds great! Since I don't know ANYTHING about cars (other than how to drive them), i thought it was some fancy car talk. Thank you!!

Cool I'm not sure what that does to the whole sentence in English but yeah it does seem to fit for the aire and polarizado... my small contribution :-)

Hey, if you like that song, let me know, I have more stuff that I'm trying to figure out (but i don't want to be too greedy...) Thanks!!

It is a very bad song in my opinion

Polarizado means tinted windows

LOL! I learned a long time ago not to judge the song.... just to translate. I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings!
