I guess duskyspad.com is now accepting requests. 🙂

Dusky,

Hey I ran across your website. Wow. You’ve put some work into it! I am getting married on new years eve and to make this a short story, I need a translation of “Te Amo” by Nicho Hinojosa to include in the pamphlets. There’s a couple of lines that my level of Spanish doesn’t comprehend EXACTLY what the meaning is, so I don’t want to be embarrassed when it plays for our first dance! =) If you could do me this favor, I’ll owe you one.

Thanks,
Jonathan

When I first read the message above, I thought, “Sure, why not.” I’ve featured some of Nicho Hinojosa’s songs on my site, but considering my nitpicking attitude toward music, I thought the song I had agreed to translate would be to my dislike. To my great fortune, it was Nicho’s version of Franco de Vita’s “Te Amo”! What a beautiful song. It was my pleasure translating it (but that doesn’t mean I’m exempting Jonathan from sending me a scanned image of his wedding pamphlet :)). I hope it’s to your liking, Jonathan.

Translation:

We were a sight to behold. Seated face to face, the moon illuminated us and made our moment together the more special. We spoke a little bit of everything, and somehow we found infinite things to laugh about. At last, there was a moment of silence. I took your hands in mine and our eyes locked in. At that moment in time nothing seemed worst than never seeing you again. Furthermore, I couldn’t wait to take you in my arms and express what I felt for you:

“From the very moment I saw you, I knew my long wait had come to its end. You were exactly as I had seen you in my dreams, and I have loved you ever since. Te amo…”

Te Amo (Nicho Hinojosa)

Y si nos hubieran visto
estábamos ahí sentados,
frente a frente.
No podía faltarnos la luna;
y hablábamos de todo un poco,
y todo nos causaba risa,
como dos locos.

Y yo que no veía la hora
de tenerte en mis brazos y poderte decir:
te amo, desde el primer momento en que te vi;
hace tiempo te buscaba y ya te imaginaba así;
te amo, aunque no es tan fácil de decir
y defino lo que siento con estas palabras…
te amo, te amo.

Y de pronto nos tocó el silencio,
y nos miramos fijamente, uno al otro.
Tus manos entre las mías.
Tal vez nos volveremos a ver;
mañana no sé si podré.
Que estás jugando? Me muero si no te vuelvo a ver…

Y tenerte en mis brazos y poderte decir:
te amo, desde el primer momento en que te vi;
hace tiempo te buscaba y ya te imaginaba así;
te amo, aunque no es tan fácil de decir
y defino lo que siento con estas palabras…
te amo, te amo.

Te amo…
