Shakira - Gitana = Gypsy

I decided to translate this song because it's one of my favorites at the time. I know she made a Gypsy version of this song in English but the lyrics are totally different. I feel like the message is lost, so here it is for you all.

Never wore a mask
I go by steps through this brief world
I don’t pretend to stop
Tell me who is walking?
When can we fly?

My destiny is to move
My memories
Are a trails on the ocean
What I have, I give
I say what I think
Take me as I am

And it goes with ease
My gypsy heart
That only understands of beating
Against itself
Don’t try to tie me up
Nor dominate me
I’m the one who chooses
How to make mistakes

Make the most of it
That if I came yesterday
I can leave tomorrow
I’m a Gypsy
I’m a Gypsy

I’m still an apprentice
In every kiss
And with every scar

Something I can understand
Of many times tripping
Now I know how to fall

And it goes with ease
My gypsy heart
That only understands of beating
Against itself
Don’t try to tie me up
Nor dominate me
I’m the one who chooses
How to make mistakes

Make the most of it
That if I came yesterday
I can leave tomorrow
I’m a Gypsy

Let’s go and see
That life is a joy
Is normal to be scare
Of that which you don’t know

Take me and lets go
That life is a joy
Is normal to be scare
Of that which you don’t know
I want to see you fly
I want to see you fly

And it goes with ease
My gypsy heart
That only understands of beating
Against it
Don’t try to tie me up
Nor dominate me
I’m the one who chooses
How to make mistakes

If I came yesterday
Make the most of it that I’m leaving tomorrow
I’m a gypsy

Mana - Labios Compartidos = Shared Lips

Love of mine
If I’m under the swinging of your legs
If I’m sunken in the swinging of hips
This is the sky, is my sky

Run away love
You take me, leave me, squeeze me and throw me aside
You go to other skies and come back like the hummingbirds
You have me like a dog at your feet

Once again my foolish mouth
Goes back to fall on your skin
Comes back to me your mouth and provokes me
I go back to fall from your breast in your pair of feet

Shared lips, divided lips my love
I can’t share your lips
I share the deception
And share my days and the pain
I can’t share your lips
Oh love, oh love
Shared

Mutant love
Friends with rights and no rights to have you always
And I always have to wait patiently
The piece that belongs to me

Lightning of alcohol
The lonely voices cry in the sun
My mouth tortured on flames
Angelic nakedness, then you leave

Once again my foolish mouth
Goes back to fall on your skin of honey
Comes back to me your mouth and it hurts
I go back to fall from your breast in your pair of feet

Shared lips, divided lip my love
I can’t share your lips
I share the deception
And share my days and the pain
I can’t share your lips

Lightning should split me
Oblivion should bury me, my love
But I can’t share your lips anymore
Share your kisses
Shared lips

I love you with all my faith, without measure
I love you even thought you are shared
Your lips have the control

I love you with all my faith, without measure
I love you even thought you are shared
And you keep with the control

Franco De Vita - No Basta = It's not Enough


It's not enough
To bring them into the world because it's obligatory,
Because they are the basis of marriage,
Or because you made a mistake in count.

It's not enough to take them to school to learn
Because life, gets harder
To be what your father couldn't be.

It's not enough
That you gave so very little affection
All because of your damned job, and the time.

It's not enough
Because when he wanted to talk about a problem
You told him, "Son, tomorrow. It's late,
I'm tired."

It's not enough
To buy him everything he ever wanted
The new car before graduation
So he'll live what you haven't lived.

It's not enoughto think yourself a great father
Because other people tell you
"Your kids lack nothing".

It's not enough
Because when he wanted to talk to you about sex
The color rose in your face
And you left.

It's not enough,
Because when having a problem,
He ended up buying on the corner
Whatever there was, whatever there was.

It's not enough
To buy him curious objects,
It's not enough,
when what he needs is love,
To learn the value of things,
Because you won't be eternal.

It's not enough
To punish him for being late,
If you haven't fallen, already your son is a man
now taller and stronger Than you, than you.

It's Not Enough (X6)

Franco de Vita - Te Veo Venir Soledad = I See You Coming Solitude





Don’t tell me that
We just realized
That our love reached its end.
That without me you can continue
I see you coming solitude

And don’t tell me that
I didn't deserved what I received
That I never understood you
But, what were you expecting from me?
I see you coming solitude

The nights are endless

That my life without you is worth nothing
Another blow to the heart
Which you left here in this corner
I see you coming solitude

And don’t tell me that
One day you might come back
For now there is nothing to say
Many things, yes, to forget
I see you coming solitude

I won’t forget you
And I don’t care if you believe it or not
I need you more than normal
I’m sorry if I didn’t know how to express it
If I didn’t know how to show you
But the pure truth is

That the nights are endless
That my life without you is worth nothing
Another hit to the heart
Heart that you left here in this corner
For a love that refuses to die
For what you love most, don’t leave it like this
Our love can not end
It’s stronger than what we could ever think of
Because of this… I see you coming Solitude

And I will wait
All the time that you want, it’s the same
If you want look in another place
And if you do find it… you can stay
I see you coming solitude
I see you coming solitude
I see you coming solitude


Simplemente La Verdad
