Hi,
I am somewhere between a beginner and intermediate level of Spanish.
Learning by translating song lyrics can be a real fun but sometimes I cannot translate it with my knowledge.
The song Y... sung by magnificent Eydie Gorme goes like this:
Y pensar que en mi vida fuiste flama,
y el caudal de mi gloria fuiste tú,
y llegué a quererte con el alma,
y hoy me mata de tristeza tu actitud.
Y a que debo dime entonces tu abandono,
y en que ruta tu promesa se perdió,
y si dices la verdad yo te perdono,
y te llevo en mi recuerdo junto a Dios.
I would appreciate any help with the two passages in red. I simply don't understand what she is trying to say.:thinking:
Thanks!
