There are two things I can suggest to you: one, have a dictionary handy next time to make sure that the words you’re using actually exist and carry the meaning you want to convey (“contempling” versus “contemplating”); two, break the song into chunks.

Sorry I can’t be of greater help. I’m more of a prose guy, and that’s part of the reason why I don’t translate songs literally. Actually, it’s more accurate to refer to my work as “an interpretation of a song,” rather than a translation. An interpretation allows a stronger deviation from the original.

Thanks for dropping by.

Today through my window shines the sun
An the heart becomes sad
Contempling the city
Why do you leave
Like every night
I awoke thinking of you
And in my clock I saw the hours pass by
Because you left
All the promises of my love
Would leave with you
And you’d forget me
And you forget me
Like every night
I’d cried like a child
Why did you leave
Why did you leave
Under the shadow of a streetlamp
It would sleep
All the things that were left to say
It would sleep
With the hands of time
It would wait
All the time that were left to live
It would wait.

or is my translation to literal? I suck at metaphoric stuff.. :/
