    The translation would be something like this: "Estoy buscando a una mujer que odie ver y que, aún así, ame verla partir"
    Cheers!

    Ejtorcello,
    You are right. My translation was incorrect, since I was looking at the title of the thread:
    I'm looking for a woman who I hate to see but love to watch leaving

    However, I think that this is some kind of translation that needs to be a little bit more original and less literal. This is some kind of pun, something like "que odie verla ir, pero que ame verla partir"...it's a little bit tricky

    Thats fine, In spanish "a la cual yo" can be replaced by "que" ; "que" in that instance works as demonstrative pronoun as "which" does in english. te verb conjugation "ame" contains the pronoun "yo". so it stands your choice depending how much explicity the speaker tries to comunicate.

    Estoy buscando una mujer a quien odie ver partir, aunque disfrute al verla alejarse (something more poetic :-))

    I think what you're trying to say is: Busco una mujer que odio que se marche pero amo ver marcharse.
