One love

Click to see the original lyrics (Spanish)
One love
I lived only one love...
crying,
and she was telling me,
the words of God,
crying for you.
It's all love
 
One love
I lived only one love.
Crying and already tormented,
the words of God,
crying for you.
It's all love
 
Now, to be living beside you
I fell in love with you
Without your kisses, I can't live anymore
and I can't remember anymore
 
I would have wanted
for understanding it,
to have one love, or to know what I would want
and already tormented,
The words of god,
crying for you.
It's all love

¿"Para ya" an idiom? The whole thing are 'idioms' of the Gipsy Kings!

I decided to make some "brain gymnastics" and to translate these lyrics into Polish. I tried to interpret them in many ways until I came to the conclusion that they don't make much sense and it would be pointless to continue, so I finally gave up. Nevertheless, the song itself sounds nice and I like flamenco very much. It's a pity they seem to write the lyrics on their own and don't even try to ask a native Spanish speaker to correct them.

I agree with you in general, but I would like to add that in particular the lyrics of Gipsy Kings hit songs, specially this one, are pretty complex and some of the sentences are actually incomplete and might even confuse the native speaker as well as us. My suggestion for you, as I myself did the same thing, is to try to grasp the feeling of the song and the lyrics, word by word, and then recreate that feeling with the words with similar meaning and feeling in Polish.

Yes, you’re right. I think I can try once again, but I need time to think how to do it. On tekstowo.pl there is a translation, though in my opinion that interpretation, even if it makes sense as the whole text, is a pure fantasy of the author and has nothing with the lyrics as I understand them. Maybe I should fantasize too, shouldn’t I?

The problem with Gypsy Kings is these people were born in France and their Spanish is very broken, so you need to use your imagination to understand what they wanted to say, otherwise it's impossible to translate.

I submitted my Polish and English "fantasy" what these lyrics were supposed to mean. Both translations have the same meaning. Have a look and tell me what you think.

The Gypsy Kings are celebrated for their music and rhythm. Forget the lyrics.

Wait...I thought The Gypsy Kings sang in Caló?
