Subject: Gracias, aries - no te colapses demasiado! :) Besos. And Sue, lately I have been listening a lot to Shakira, and though some of her songs are released in English as well, I haven't been able to find a translation for "Estoy Aquí", so >>>>>

I am giving it a go to this translation - but I am not a lyricist, so arrangements might be lacking *grin*. It's really not so much as original as the fact that Shakira's voice is very personal and peculiar, and she gives a tortured twist that I find very becoming to Russell situations in general. ;)

"I am here"

I know that you will not come to me,
All that once was time let it go by

I know you will not come back,
What happened will never repeat again
A thousand years will not be enough to erase you and forget

And now I am still here, trying to turn
Fields into cities, and melting the skies into the sea

I know I let you go, I know I lost you
And nothing will ever be the same
A thousand years might be enough to forgive

And I am here, still loving you, drowning in
Pictures and notebooks, memories and other little things
I cannot understand

And I am going mad,
Changing my face into my feet, turning tonight into a day
And there’s nothing I can do

The letters that I wrote, I never sent
You would not want to hear from me

I can’t believe what a fool I was
It’s just a matter of time and faith
A thousand years and a thousand more will be enough to love

And I am here, still loving you, drowning in
Pictures and notebooks, memories and other little things
I cannot understand

And I am going mad,
Changing my face into my feet, turning tonight into a day
And if you still think of me, you know I’ll be waiting for you

And I am here, still loving you, drowning in
Pictures and notebooks, memories and other little things
I am going mad
