Hello, sweetheart,
I want to thank you for all you give me and for being so nice to me. I miss you every single day and I want this to last forever because I feel terrific with you. Your words, your gaze and your eyes are my energy day after day.
I love you. | Remarks about the translation | Before I edited it the text was:

22 December 2007 01:38 | | | "portarte bien conmigo" is causing me fits. Its literal translation is "conducting yourself well with me" and the usual meaning of "portarte bien" is "behaving well". That's a little strange in a love letter. "Being nice to me" is close to the apparent meaning here, except too submissive. "treating me well" or "being so nice to me" is a little better.
Help? | | |
22 December 2007 13:39 | | | "being so nice to me" seems to be the most accurate to me.
portarse bien, despite of its translation, related to behave,doesn't have exactly that meaning. It just means that someone acts nicely, that the person is nice to someone else.
When used into imperative, however, the translation should be :
¡Pórtate bien! = "Behave yourself!"
But that's not the case here.
Also if I may... te echo de menos cada dÃa means exactly
I miss you everyday.
I don't think that "at least" is necessary.
Why have you made that change? May I know, please?
And look is singular = mirada

22 December 2007 13:38 | | |  Hi Kafetzou:
Yes, your look ---> your gaze | | |
22 December 2007 15:23 | | | Sorry about "looks"; I meant to change it back to "look". And yes, "gaze" is better.
Everyday = routine; every day = all the time. If you don't like "at least every day" then try "at least once a day" or simply "every day".
Note I also changed "for ever" to "forever".
Again, "being nice to me" is weak, a false note; try "being so nice to me".

22 December 2007 15:36 | | | "every single day" is inspired! I think this is ready to approve. As dramati requested the poll, I will let him do the honors. CC: dramati | | |
