A great discovery and another great translation. I´ve just posted the line you´re unsure about on Word Reference: http://forum.wordreference.com/threads/me-enga%C3%B1o-o-me-enga%C3%B1%C3%B3.3047809/

Note: You forgot to translate the last two lines.

Thank you for the comment and the post! I just translated the last two lines (good catch). I also realized I was ambiguous when I said I was unsure about those two lines. It's not the Spanish to English translation that I'm unsure about, but the Spanish transcription itself. I listened to those lines over and over again and what I'm hearing is written here, but I think I might be mishearing part of it. I replied on the WordReference thread to clarify there, too. I inserted a link, so I'm waiting for moderator approval.

Also I edited "me engaño" to "me engañó". That's not the mistake I think I'm hearing, but I neglected to add the accent since I expected to change the line anyway.

You´ve changed it to me engañó? Someone has responded saying they agree with your original translation (not a native though)...

Love your website anyways. Let me buy you a beer if you ever visit Barcelona!

I think engañó is correct.

Thanks! I'm all the way in California, but perhaps one day. :-)
