English Translation of Shakira lyrics please?

Question

I really want a decent translation of Ciega Sordomuda by Shakira. Please don't just pop the lyrics into some babelfish - I've already done this and it doesn't make sense. Could some nice Spanish person translate this in a way that actually makes sense? I promise high points for the best answer...

Answer 1

Blind Deaf and Dumb

My bickering cuts itself short
along with my methodology...
everytime that your anotomy appears
in front of me
Because this love doesn't understand anymore,
of advice or reason
it feeds on pretenses
and seems to always 'lose it's pants'
This love just doesn't let me
stand on my own two feet
because it's even broken my heels.
If I get up, I just fall again.
If you near me nothing's useful
for this useless being.

Airheaded, Blindly-muted, deaf,
klutzy, stuttering object.
It's all I've ever been
Because of you I've become
in something that does nothing
but love you.
I think of you night and day.
Not knowing how to forget you.

How many times have I attempted
to burry you in my memory
and even if I say ' no more'
it's always the same old story.
Beacause this love always knows
how to keep me taking deep breaths.
It takes me left
and in altercation with the world

If I could excorcise myself from your voice
If I could escape your name
If I could rip out my heart
and hide, to not feel myself
renewed.

Airheaded, Blindly-muted, deaf,
klutzy, stuttering object.
It's all I've ever been
Because of you I've become
in something that does nothing
but love you.
I think of you night and day.
Not knowing how to forget you.

Worn out, scrawny, ugly, dissheveled,
Airheaded, silly, idiotic, naggy, unkempt
completely uncontrollable.
You notice and don't say a word.
You've seen how my head has gotten jumbled
and only there you have claimed sanctuary
And you don't listen to what I say
Take a good note of what you're going to do with me

Airheaded, Blindly-muted, deaf,
klutzy, stuttering object.
It's all I've ever been
Because of you I've become
in something that does nothing
but love you.
I think of you night and day.
Not knowing how to forget you.

Answer 3

I've included the orignal just in case you want to learn and show off to your friends....:) the lyrics and really deep.

Shakira
- Ciega, Sordomuda
se me acaba el argumento
y la metodología
cada vez que se aparece frente a mí
tu anatomia
por que este amor ya no entiende
de consejos, ni razones
se alimenta de pretextos
y le faltan pantalones
este amor no me permite
estar en pie
porque ya hasta me há quebrado
los talones
y aunque me levante volveré a caer
si te acercas nada es útil
para esta inútil
coro/chorus:

bruta, ciega, sordomuda,
torpe, traste, testaruda,
es todo lo que he sido
por ti me he convertido
en una cosa que no hace
otra cosa más que amarte
pienso en ti día y noche
y no se como olvidarte

cuántas veces he intentado
enterrarte en mi memoria
y aunque diga ya no más
es otra vez la misma historia
porque este amor siempre sabe
hacerme respirar profundo
ya me trae por la izquierda
y de pelea com el mundo
si pudiera exorcizarme de tu voz
si pudiera escaparme de tu nombre
si pudiera arrancarme el corazón
y esconderme para no sentirme nuevamente

coro/chorus

ojerosa, flaca, fea, desgreñada,
torpe, tonta, lenta, necia, desquiciada,
completamente descontrolada
tu te das cuenta y no me dices nada
ves que se me há vuelto
la cabeza un nido
donde solamente tu tienes asilo
y no me escuchas lo que te digo
mira bien lo que vas a hacer conmigo

coro/chorus
