Hey - I just heard this song on a CD and absolutely loved the pain and urgency in his voice. I only know a few spanish words. What is he so pained about? Can anyone translate to English? Thanks.

Here is my transalation from Espanish to English of the song of Ricardo Arjona that you want.
Artist: Ricardo Arjona
Album: Santo Pecado
Song: El problema
The problem wasn't find you
El Problema no fue hallarte
The problem is forgot you
El Problema es olvidarte
The problem is not when you aren't here
El Problema no es tu ausencia
The problem is that I wait for you
El Problema es que te espero
The problem is not a problem
El Problema no es Problema
The problem is that it's hurt
El Problema es que me duele
The problem is not that you lie me
El Problema no es que mientas
The problem is that I believe in you
El Problema es que te creo..
The problem is not that you play
El Problema no es que juegues
The problem is that you do it with me
El Problema es que es conmigo
If you like me for be free
Si me gustaste por ser libre
Who I am to change it
Quien soy yo para cambiarte
If I stay here wanting alone
Si me quede queriendo solo
How do I do to force you
Como hacer para obligarte
The problem is not love you
El problema no es quererte
is that you feel the same..
es que tu no sientas lo mismo..
[Chorus 1]
And how do I forget you If I don't have you
Y como deshacerme de ti si no te tengo
How do I get away from you If you are so away
Como alejarme de ti si están tan lejos
How do I found a eyelash
Como encontrarle una pestaña
to something that never has eyes
A lo que nunca tuvo ojos
How do I found platforms
Como encontrarle plataformas
to something that always was a big hole
A lo que siempre fue un barranco
How do I found in the kitchen
Como encontrar en la lacena
The kisses you never give me
Los besos que no me diste
And how to forget you If I don't have you
Y como deshacerme de ti si no te tengo
How do I get away from you If you are so away
Como alejarme de ti si están tan lejos
Thats because the problem is not to change you
Y es que el problema no es cambiarte.
The problem is that I don't want
El Problema es que no quiero
[Chorus 2]
The problem is not to hurt you
El Problema no es que duela
The problem is that I like
El Problema es que me gusta
The problem is not the hurt
El Problema no es el daño
The problem are the footprints
El Problema son las huellas
The problem is not what you do
El Problema no es lo que haces
The problem is that I forgot
El Problema es que lo olvido
The problem is not what you said
El Problema no es que digas
The problem is what you don't said
El Problema es lo que callas.
Chorus 1 (x2)
Chorus 2
Hope you like.
Cheers from a friend from Peru
If you want you can visit my blog [Fenix ] if you don't ... well.. no problem XD
This one is the same but I add some forceful corrections:
The problem is not to find you, but to forget you. The problem is not your absence, but me waiting for you. The problem is no problem, the problem is that it hurts, the problem is not that you lie, but that I believe you. The problem is not that you play but you play with me (i.e.: my feelings). If I liked you for being carefree who am I to change you?. If I remained loving alone, how can I force you (to love me back)? The problem is not me loving you but that you don't feel the same for me.
And how do I get rid of you if I don't have you (close to me)? How do I get away from you if you are so away, how do I find an eyelash on what never had any eyes, how do I find platforms to what always was a ravine, how do I find in the cupboard the kisses you didn't give me.
And how do I get rid of you if I don't have you (close to me)? How do I get away from you if you are so away. The problem is not to change* you... but that I don't want to.
The problem isn't that it's painful
the problem is that I like it
the problem is not the harm, but the marks left
the problem is not what you're doing, but that I keep forgetting it
the problem is not what you are saying but what you are not.
*This word sort of works like a pun cause you can't know if he's talking about changing her for another woman or about changing her mind.
Greeting from Peru as well. Just trying to help.

Hey there! I love Ricardo Arjona, and here I give you a list of some of his best songs, that you may like: "Realmente no estoy tan solo", "Dime que no", "Minutos", "Cuándo", "Te conozco"; "Tu reputación".... the list can go for ever! He´s a great songwriter, I think he can be considered a poet!
Hope you like these songs!
