    Default Song translation

    Hi there

    Just wondering if anyone can help me, I hope so.
    I'm remixing a track for a university project and I'm trying to give it a 'rhythms del mundo' feel. I wanted to add some backing lyrics in spanish but my grasp of the language is basic at best!

    I was wondering if anyone could translate the following lyrics (they are a little risqué so look away now, no swearing though!). If anyone can help then thankyou so much.

    You can listen to the original track at http://www.myspace.com/imonsteruk


    Thanks,

    Chris.



    "Sucker for your Sound"

    I can’t get to sleep tonight,
    I’ve been thinking of you all day long,
    Oh I love it when you make that noise,
    And I want you like… I don’t know.

    I’m a sucker for your sound,
    And I love it when you’re loud,
    I’m a sucker for your sound,
    You know I’m fooling with you now.


    Oh you should know,
    I’m not the type of boy,
    You should bring home to your mother and father,
    Mother and father.

    Hi,
    This is my try, I hope it helps you:

    "Fanático/Adicto a tu sonido"

    No puedo dormir esta noche,
    he estado pensando en ti todo el día,
    !oh! Me encanta cuando haces ese sonido
    y te quiero como a... no lo sé.

    Soy un fanático/adicto a tu sonido
    y me encanta cuando lo haces fuerte,
    soy un fanático/adicto a tu sonido,
    ahora sabes que te estoy engañando.

    ¡Oh! Deberías saber,
    que no soy el tipo de chico
    a quien deberías presentarle a tu madre y tu padre,
    tu madre y padre.


    Regards.

    Please be very careful when translating songs or poetry... the metric is very important when doing that. Often times I had witnesed non-Spanish speakers sweating trying to sing more words that each tempo alouds!

    I do not know the song so I can not help with adjusting the metric in Spanish to the music.
