I didn't understand the spanish 'enamorado e una bruja'.

I think it's a typo - it should "en una bruja".

I thought the same and that's why I didn't understand.
This is not the right preposition for 'enamorado' on 'in love with'.
I need this for the swedish one.

I've asked the requester - he's a Spanish speaker, so he should be able to tell us.

I edited with "de una bruja", it is the only preposition that matches here. Also "música", because "´" is the only stress mark used in Spanish.

Musica e amor são minhas fraquezas,
Estou apaixonado por uma feiticeira.

Bruxa tem uma conotação mais pejorativa do que feiticeira, então creio que feiticeira seja a tradução mais adequada.

I think the original "e una" in the Spanish source is a simple contraction of "de una", which sounds a little awkward: "...aDO DE u..."; "...aDO e u..." is much smoother. "estoy enamorado de una ..." is the idiom.

I will accept it now.

Sorry - I forgot to tell everyone that the requester sent me a private message saying that he meant to write "de", but since we had already changed the original I didn't think to let everyone know.
