¡Hay tanto que perder!Pero acabó,y ahora veo lo genial que ha sido que te cruces conmigo.¡Cuántas gracias he de darle a Dios!
Al menos quiero que existas a mi alrededor, con saber que existes...¡Eres como una droga!Tengo mono de ti,de cualquier forma,te necesito en mis días,y aunque a veces seas incluso maligno a mi salud mental y física ¡qué chute me hubiera pegado de ti algunos días!Y es que he invertido tanta fuerza,tanto amor,tanta energía e ilusión en ti que si desaparecieras dejarías un vacío irreparable.
Remarks about the translation
Necesito esta carta, él se la merece. Muchas gracias.

Y si no es mucho pedir, si el nombre de Daniel pudiese ser traducido sería perfecto.

Muchas gracias.

There's so much to lose!
Translation
English

Translated by lilian canale
Target language: English

There's so much to lose! But it's over, and now I realize how great it was that you passed by me. How thankful I should be to God!
At least, I want you to exist around me; just by knowing that you exist...You are like a drug! I go cold turkey from you, anyway I need you in my days and although you are harmful to my physical and mental health sometimes...What a shot I'd have taken from you for a few days! And it's that since I've invested so much strength, so much love, so much energy and hope in you, if you disappeared, you'd leave an irreparable emptiness.

There is some difference between the English version and the Italian one. But I think it's no matter. The sense is almost the same.

There are some differences between the Italian and Spanish versions, but Lilian's translation based off of the Spanish version is absolutely correct.

However, I would like to make a few minor corrections, Lilly.

I believe "I go cold turkey from you" should be changed to "I'm hooked on you" or "I'm addicted to you."--both are more common in English and still maintain the idea of how this person is like a drug for the other.

Also, "I need you in my days" and "so much energy and hope in you."

What do you think?

Wow Triton! You're back!

Good to see you around here.

Well, the Spanish line has a slightly different meaning. It does not say "I'm addicted to you" but something like: "All of a sudden I don't have you anymore", that's why I chose the expression "go cold turkey" like I was forced to abstinence. See what I mean?

About those "in", I agree.

And it's great to be back!

I have been busy with some travels and school, but whenever I have a spare moment, this is the place I look to spend it.

Now in regards to the translation, I see what you mean. So really you're talking about cold turkey in the sense of this person going through somewhat of a "withdrawal", yes?

In that case I agree.
