How about an Spanish-English exercise?
![]() ![]() You guys are always going from English to Spanish...Try the other way around, if you want. I love this song, but I find it hard to translate... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9EqGp79SZk Tú juegas a quererme, yo juego a que te creas que te quiero. Buscando una coartada, me das una pasión que yo no espero y no me importa nada. Tú juega a engañarme, yo juego a que te creas que te creo, eschucho tus bobadas acerca del amor y del deseo y no me importa nada, nada que rías o sueñes que digas o que hagas y no me importa nada por mucho que me empeñe estoy jugando y no me importa nada. Tú juegas a tenerme, yo juego a que te creas que me tienes serena y confiada invento las palabras que te hieren, y no me importa nada. Tú juegas a olvidarme yo juego a que te creas que me importa, conozco la jugada sé manejarme en las distancias cortas y no me importa nada, nada que rías o sueñes que digas o que hagas y no me importa nada...
