Lingua originale: Spagnolo

Tu me estas dando mala vida
Yo pronto me voy a escapar
Gitana mia por lo menos date cuenta
Gitana mia por favor
Tu no me dejas ni respirar
Tu me estas dando mala vida
Cada dia se la traga mi corazon

Gitana mia!
Mi corazoncito esta sufriendo
Gitana mia por favor
Sufriendo malnutricion
Tu me estas dando mala vida
Cada dia se la traga mi corazon!
Dime tu porque te trato yo tan bien
Cuando tu me hablas como a on cabron

Lingua di destinazione: Inglese

You’re turning my life upside down
I’ll run away soon
My gypsy girl realize at least
My gypsy girl please
You don’t even let me breathe
You’re turning my life upside down
Each day my heart is taken in

My gypsy girl!
My little heart is suffering
My gypsy girl please
Suffering from starvation
You’re turning my life upside down
Each day my heart is taken in!
Tell me why I treat you so well
When you treat me like a jerk

"Cada dia se la traga mi corazon!"

"Tragar" doesn't mean to swallow here. It means "to buy" in the sense of accepting a truth, as in "you claim you are going to stop smoking, but I don't buy it"

The subject in the sentence is "mi corazón". "Mi corazón se la traga cada día"

See above my comment about "cada día se la traga mi corazón" the other sentences convey properly the sense of the original text.

So "Cada dia se la traga mi corazon!" should be translated as "Each day my heart believe a little"?

No samanthalee, not a little, it believes completely, I think now goncin's sentence is OK as far as it's correct English.

Hi Kafetzou,
Can you validate this? Something's not quite right, but I can't put my finger on what's not right about it.

My suggestions:

You’re making my life bad --> You're ruining my life
Each day my heart buys it --> Each day my heart is taken in ["buys it" doesn't work - "swallows it" would be better, but is still awkward]
Suffering from malnutrition --> ??? (This doesn't work in English) Starving?
When you speak to me as to a bastard --> When you treat me like a jerk

Kafetzou,

I think this is a kind of text which has a lot of "latinity" that can't be properly expressed in English . But we always try to do our best .

Regarding your notes:

1) You're ruining my life: that is not exactly the sense of the original. Pure latinity! The male lover doesn't see his life ruined; his life has become bad, but he likes it somewhat because he is in love... The original verse says, literally, "You're giving me a bad life"; this works well in Portuguese and Spanish, but I feel it doesn't fit in English; what if "You're providing me a bad life"?

2) Each day my heart is taken in: please see Guilon's comment above concerning the idiom in Spanish.

3) Starving: malnutrition

4) When you treat me like a jerk: this could be OK, but I tried to be faithful to the original, which uses the verb "hablar" (to speak, to talk to).

What do you think? I anticipatedly thank you.

Responding to goncin's comment just above...

1) You’re making my life bad - You've turned my life upside down

2) I think "taken in" is a brilliant suggestion. It means both "fooled" and "believed". It's brilliant, Kafetzou.

3) Does the original mean "I'm starving for love"?

4) How about "you treat me like dirt"? I can't think of a way to preserve the original phrase of "to speak" in English to bring out the meaning of being treated shabbily.

Samantha,

3) "Sufriendo malnutricion" means that the lover's heart is not being nourished with enough love, thence its "malnutrition". How is the best way to say that in English?

I'll edit the text according to the previous suggestions.

1) "You've turned my life upside down" - Brilliant suggestion, samanthalee!

2) OK

3) We never use "malnutrition" in English accept to describe the real thing - it brings up images of starving children in some drought-stricken area of Africa or something. I think "starving" is really the only thing that will work here. You could say "suffering from starvation", I guess.

4) "You treat me like dirt" is farther from the original than "you treat me like a jerk". We're looking for something that includes the concept of the way she talks to him, but I can't think of anything.

Hi goncin, will it be okay to translate "Sufriendo malnutricion" as "starving for love".

Kafetzou, you are right that "malnutrition" is rarely used in the metaphorical sense. Similarly, "Suffering from starvation" will probably be interpreted literally too. Or how about "My heart is starving"?

I think that in context it works: My little heart is suffering ... suffering from starvation.

Tu imi daruiesti o veata grea
Eu curand voi scapa
Tignca mea macar dati seama
Tiganca mea te rog
Tu nu ma lasi sa respir
Tu imi daruiesti o viata grea
In fie care zi inima mea trage

Tiganca mea!
Inimioara mea sufera
Tiganca mea te rog
Suferind de foame
tu imi daruiesti o viata grea
In fiecare zi inghite sufletul meu
Zi-mi tu de ce te tratez asa bine
Tu ma tratez ca pe un prost
