This might seem kind of random but thank you for these translations! Reading all these lyrics makes me understand better and actually gives me hope in actually learning the language fluently.

My boyfriend is Colombian and this song oddly reminds me of him, ironic, huh?

You're welcome! I really enjoy translating songs. Good luck in learning Spanish! You may think it's a small thing, but every comment I get makes me squee. :)

First of all, thanks for the translation... it is very good.
Except for one little detail... I think that "aunque te dé lo mismo" should be translated as: "even if you don't care." This is one of those cases where literal translation doesn't really convey the actual meaning.

Ernesto.

Ah! Yeah, you're right! I interpreted that differently once and it stuck in my head. *Fixes*
