Thread: Need help with translation.

When I met you I was afraid to look at you.
When I looked at you I was afraid to talk to you.
When I talked to you I was afraid to engage with you.
When I engaged with you I was afraid to capture you.
When I captured you I was afraid to hold you.
When I held you I was afraid to kiss you.
When I kissed you I was afraid of wanting you.
And now that I want you I am afraid of loosing you.
I love you

I would like to be your tears coming from your eyes, running down your cheeks, and die on your lips


If my sole were ink and my heart was an inkpot with the blood of my veins I would write - I want you

Ignoring the insult to my understanding of Spanish and english, and his inability to see that proof reading did not spot a word that was not meant to be there, might I comment that psyduck did not attempt to help the love struck petitioner, except to make a "smart" remark.
But he has the time to quible over the interpretaion of a poem! I should bow to his exceptional understanding of the phrase te quiero though, because he has come to that understanding by watching Mexican Novelas. I, on the other hand was thinking poetry and the porgression of that particular poem and since both phrases (te quiero and te amo) were used recundancy did not seem the intent, especialy if te quiero carries less of a deep romatic meaning than te amo.
A jump from a kiss to deep romatic love seemed less of a leap than to desire or wanting, and then the poet states te amo.

It's poetry psyduck, don't get yourself so worked up that you have to insult people that are new here and have good intentions, and might not stay here if there are many more like you. Or maybe that is your intent? If so maybe you should keep it up when your not watching television.

With all due respect- Òscar
