Como quien tira de una cuerda que se romperá,
tirar, tirar, tirar, tirar, tirar...
Como sin darse cuenta rozar un poco más,
los ojos aún cerrados para no afrontar
que el aire es de cristal,
que puede estallar,
que aunque parezca extraño, te quiero devorar.
Que el aire es de cristal,
que puede estallar,
que aunque parezca extraño, te quiero devorar |

Like somebody pulling a string that's going to break, pulling, pulling, pulling, pulling, pulling...
Like unconsciously touching it a little bit more,
eyes still closed to avoid being confronted with
the fact that the air is made of crystal
that could burst
that even though it looks strange, I want to devour you.
That the air is made of crystal
that could burst
that even though it looks strange, I want to devour you.

26 Shtator 2007 14:57 | | | I think the verbs on 2nd verse must come on infinitive: "to pull, to pull, to pull, to pull, to pull".
Why not "...air is made of crystal"?
"que aunque parezca estraño" -> "that although it looks strange"? | | |
26 Shtator 2007 15:10 | | | That even if it looks strange? | | |

26 Shtator 2007 17:19 | | | You're right Goncin, those should be infinitives, but it just didn't feel right to translate "tirar" with "to pull" in this context... maybe "pulling... pulling..." is better?
Air made of crystal? Actually, why not? I'll edit.
@All: oopz, messed up aun with aunque, my bad. Hmmm, what's the best way to translate that concession? :/ | | |
26 Shtator 2007 17:52 | | | Urunghai,
I'm not sure whether "pulling" (present participle) express the right meaning of the source. In Spanish, "tirar" denotes a tenseless action, that's why it comes in the infinitive and I guess it should be conserved in English.
As for "que aunque", please see Angelus' (Ewok's  ) solution above. | | |
27 Shtator 2007 00:20 | | | "pulling" is also tenseless - it's the present participle . "to pull" would be incorrect here. | | |
27 Shtator 2007 14:56 | | | Aha, I knew my English intuition wouldn't let me down! ^^ | | |

iriniNumri i postimeve: 849 | Questiona (have to do with the Greek translation):
a) tirar means "throw" in general if I remember my pathetically little Spanish correctly. Is it an expression or a meaning that I don't remember in this case? The Spanish equivalent of pulling or maybe plucking a string?
b)"estallar" has been translated as "a thousand pieces" in Greek. It obviously doesn't have a literal meaning, it just means REALLY broken, broken to tiny pieces. Does it carry such connotations in Spanish?
It's a wonderful translation and I want to mark it high but first I have to approve it so any help will be most welcomed  | | |
11 Tetor 2007 13:37 | | | Hi Irini,
1) "tirar" means to throw as well as to pull, "to pull a string" = "tirar de una cuerda",it is the most common word in Spanish for this meaning ("jalar una cuerda" would be the Latin American version)
2) "estallar" does imply bursting into pieces, it comes etimologically from "astellar" (to tear wood into chips) | | |

iriniNumri i postimeve: 849 | Thanks a lot! So do you think that it would be better to edit the translation and put the Greek expression for "pulling/plucking the string" or leave it as it is? (It now says "somebody is throwing the string"  | | |
11 Tetor 2007 17:11 | | | It means "pulling" in this context, without any doubt. I think you should edit. |
