Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Por Un Amor (For A Love) by Linda Ronstadt from Spanish to English.
Me desvelo y vivo apasionada
I stay awake and live passionately
Tengo on amor
I have a love
Que en mi vida dejó
That left in my life
Para siempre amargo dolor
Forever bitter pain
Esta vida mejor que se acabe
This life is better if it ends
No es para mí
It's not for me
(No sufras más)
(Stop suffering)
Cuánto sufre mi pecho
How my chest suffers
Que late tan solo por ti
That beats only for you
He llorado gotitas de sangre del corazón
I have cried little drops of blood from the heart
Me has dejado con el alma herida
You have left me with a wounded soul
Sin compasión
Without compassion
Esta vida mejor que se acabe
This life is better if it ends
No es para mí
It's not for me
(No sufras más)
(Stop suffering)
Cuánto sufre mi pecho
How my chest suffers
Que late tan solo por ti
That beats only for you
