Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Arráncame La Vida by Tona La Negra from Spanish to English.
que te hace madurar
that makes you mature
vas de prisa
you go quickly
como un potro en el corral
like a colt in the corral
Toma tiempo, mucho tiempo
It takes time, a lot of time
sentir que has encontrado
to feel that you have found
que te trajo a mi portal
that brought you to my doorstep
que acabaste de llegar
that you just arrived
la mañana y la lluvia
the morning and the rain
dan ambiente a nuestro amor
set the mood for our love
Arráncame la vida
Take my life away
destruye mi deseo
destroy my desire
Quédate dormida
Stay asleep
no hay prisa en despertar
there's no rush to wake up
Arráncame la vida
Take my life away
descúbreme despacio
discover me slowly
domíname la ira
tame my anger
de amarte hasta gritar
of loving you until I scream
Amándote dormida
Loving you while you sleep
amándote vestida
loving you dressed
Amándote a escondidas
Loving you in secret
amarte y continuar
loving you and continuing
un velero en alta mar
a sailboat in the high sea
tú eres puerto
you are the port
y a ti tengo que llegar
and I have to reach you
Se hizo lejos, muy lejos
It became far, very far
mi pañuelo divisar
my handkerchief
Vuela muy alto otra vez
Fly high again
deja que sea mi piel tu cárcel
let my skin be your prison
Arráncame la vida
Take my life away
Amarte y continuar
Love you and continue
