I Do Not Love You Except Because I Love You

[honeyedteardrops]

what song is playing?

[mithomoti]

@honeyedteardrops  instrumental version of "unchained melody"

[Edith4Eva]

Can anyone give me the original Spanish version (words)? I can't find it anywhere.

@Edith4Eva No te quiero sino porque te quiero y de quererte a no quererte llego y de esperarte cuando no te espero pasa mi corazón del frío al fuego. Te quiero sólo porque a ti te quiero, te odio sin fin, y odiándote te ruego, y la medida de mi amor viajero es no verte y amarte como un ciego. Tal vez consumirá la luz de enero, su rayo cruel, mi corazón entero, robándome la llave del sosiego.

@Edith4Eva

En esta historia sólo yo me muero

y moriré de amor porque te quiero,

porque te quiero, amor, a sangre y fuego.

@filoponto

Thank you. :o)

[andreagheen]

the translation is a little rough

[scbestplayer]

your translation to spanish butchers this poem.

[orangepeeleater]

But it's originally in Spanish... I don't think he had to translate it.

[andreagheen]

i think this person means from spanish, the english is off some

[orangepeeleater]

Ah, that would make a bit more sense.  Though the English isn't off too much, it just doesn't feel natural. I certainly wouldn't say it butchers the poem though.

This almost brought me to tears. It's beautiful - only I'd rethink the sound quality.

The song at the end ruined it a bit for me as well.

[ashletloose]

Incredible.
