Today I want to translate one of my favorites songs to English.
Name: On my birthday
By: Hugo Blanco
On my birthday
I won't be at home
and if someone hugs me
I will tell them that I'm remembering today
that I have you by my side
beloved heart
I give you my love
The Canary suffers
if it isn't at its nest
It has already happened to me
a few times
when it dawns
and you aren't by my side
beloved heart
let me kiss you
They say that someone who loves a lot
they don't cry but inside (No llora sino por dentro)
But that's not true (in Spanish we say "eso es puro cuento",. I don't know if in English something exists like this)
everyone in their own way
because I cry outside
when I don't have you here
and that day I was born
I knew what a lament was
and from that moment
I have cried like this.
I'm going to leave my country very soon. I hope that. I'm going to sing this song that day.
It is not easy to translate lyrics, so well done!
Hi Marbell, To me, it'd be helpful to also see the Spanish lyrics. Journaly is able to display tables which are great for such texts. But other than that I also think you did a good job translating!
