    Default Arjona "El Problema" translation to English

    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

    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!
