You Are Mine

You're mine, you're mine,
having the desire to feel that you're mine likes me more
than being together and  knowing that you are cheating me,
It likes me a lot more than to caress your body,
telling to the night my sorrow for not to be your owner.

I rather close my eyes and dream of you,
than suffer the sorrow of another heartbreak,
It likes me a lot more to feel me hurt,
and to make of you a story that lasts a thousand years long.
you...
An invention in my cristal soul
you...
Each night, I want you a lot more.
you....Lyrics

  1. You're mine, you're mine,

    I WOULD rather close my eyes and dream of you,

    you...


    "To please" is the best literal translation of "gustar", but we tend to use "to like", which requires swapping the subject and object. Example:
    I like having the desire to feel that you're mine more than being together and knowing that you are cheating on me.

  2. yes, I forget the swapping issue of "like" verb, but in the other hand "to please" according my dictionary means: to make somebody happy, so according to this, I would translate "to please" as "agradar". What do you think?

  3. For instance you can say: My husband empties cesspools at night, it is a well-paid job, he likes his job but obviously doesn't please you. Is it right in English?
    In Spanish you can say it perfectly: le gusta su trabajo pero no le agrada. It is a little difference but interesting.
