Pensando en Ti (Thinking 'bout You) - Yusuf Islam/Cats Stevens (EEUU)

Cuando sostengo tu mano,
puedo volar billones de millas contigo.
Cuando veo tu gracia,
puedo ver que eres
la palabra de Dios hecho/a realidad.
Cada pequeño pájaro sobre la neblina,
y cada pez bajo las olas,
saben sobre ti...
cómo podrían no hacerlo.

Cuando veo tus ojos,
puedo ver arcoiris en el cielo.
Al estar contigo,
todos quienes partieron se reúnen.
Cada pequeña gota en las nubes,
y las piedras bajo tierra,
esperan por ti...
cómo podrían no hacerlo.

Cualquier cosa que digas
ilumina el agobio del día.
Cualquier cosa que hagas
nos produce el deseo de seguirte.

Cualquier cosa que digan,
cualquier cosa que hagan,
siempre te amaré.

Cada cometa en llamas acercándose,
y ángeles también,
piensan en ti...
cómo podrían no hacerlo.

Pensando en ti,
puedo escalar una montaña en la oscuridad.
Escuchándote,
las flores danzan en el parque.

Cualquier cosa que digan,
cualquier cosa que hagan,
siempre te amaremos.

Las palabras que pronuncias
iluminan el agobio del día.
Cualquier cosa que hagas
nos produce el deseo de seguirte.

Cualquier cosa que digan,
cualquier cosa que hagan,
siempre te amaré.

Cuento de Hadas (Fairytale) - Alexander Rybak (Norway)

Años atrás, cuando era joven,
me gustaba una chica que conocía.
Ella era mía, y nosotros eramos novios.
Eso era entonces, pero era verdad.

Estoy enamorado de un cuento de hadas,
aunque este hiere,
porque no me importa si perdí la cabeza.
Ya estoy maldito.

Cada día comenzábamos peleando.
Cada noche nos enamorábamos.
Nadie podría hacerlo más triste,
pero nadie más me podía elevar más alto.

Yo no sabía que estaba haciendo,
pero de pronto, nos separamos.
Por estos días, no la puedo hallar,
pero cuando lo haga,
vamos a tener un nuevo comienzo.

Estoy enamorado de un cuento de hadas,
aunque este hiere,
porque no me importa si perdí la cabeza.
Ya estoy maldito.

Ella es un cuento de hadas,
Yeah...
aunque este hiere,
porque no me importa si perdí la cabeza.
Ya estoy maldito.

El fantasma de la opera (The Phantom of the opera) - Andrew Loyd Webber (England)

CHRISTINE:
En sueños me canta,
en sueños vino a mi...
Esa voz que me llama
y dice mi nombre.
¿Estoy soñando otra vez?
Porque ahora encuentro que
El Fantasma de la Opera
está ahí, dentro de mi mente.

FANTASMA:
Canta una vez más conmigo
nuestro extraño dueto.
Mi poder sobre ti,
crece cada vez más...
Y aunque te apartas de mi,
tú miras atrás.
El Fantasma de la Opera
está ahí, dentro de tu mente.

CHRISTINE:
Aquellos que han visto tu cara,
retroceden aterrorizados.
Yo soy la máscara que llevas.

FANTASMA:
Soy yo a quien ellos escuchan.

AMBOS:
Tu/Mi espíritu y tu/mi voz
combinados en uno.
El Fantasma de la Opera está ahí,
dentro de tu/mi mente.
Está ahí, el Fantasma de la Opera.

FANTASMA:
¡Canta mi ángel de la música!
¡Canta! mi ángel,
Canta para mi
¡Canta! mi ángel
Canta para mi

Piensa en Mi (Think of Me) - Andrew Loyd Webber (England)

CHRISTINE:
Piensa en mi, piensan en mi afectuosamente,
cuando tengamos que decir adiós.
Recuérdame de vez en cuando,
por favor, promete que lo intentarás.

Cuando te das cuenta, una vez más, lo mucho
que tomó recuperar tu corazón y liberarlo.
Si alguna vez encuentras un momento,
dedícame un pensamiento a mi.

Nunca dijimos que nuestro amor florecería para siempre
o que no cambiaría como el mar,
pero si aun me puedes recordar,
detente y piensa en mi...

Piensa en todas las cosas
que compartimos y vimos,
no pienses en las cosas
que pudieron ser...

Piensa en mi, piénsame despertando,
en silencio y resignada.
Imagíname, tratando con mucho esfuerzo
sacarte de mi mente.

Recuerda esos días.
Mira atrás todos esos momentos,
piensa en todas las cosas que nunca hicimos.
Nunca habrá un día,
en que yo no piense en ti...

RAOUL:
¿Puede ser? ¿es acaso Christine?
¡Bravo!
Hace tiempo, parece fue hace tanto tiempo
Qué jóvenes e inocentes éramos...
Puede que ella no me recuerde,
pero yo la recuerdo a ella...

CHRISTINE:
Las flores se marchitan,
las frutas del verano se desvanecen,
Ellas tienen su temporada, nosotros también,
pero por favor, prométeme, que de vez en cuando
tú pensarás en mi.

Un attimo di pace (A moment of peace) - Eros Ramazzotti (Italy)

Today I don't want
to see people around
Close all the doors
Today I say 'no'
to the ones that confuse me
Who everyday changes
the truth upside down

I'm here alone with you
and the danger that exists
We'll put on distance
I'm here alone with you
I want to finish before
the sky falls down on the room

Let me breathe
a moment of peace
This last draught of fresh air
I want to dedicate myself only
to my dearest feelings
especially if it's about you
[if they are for you]

Let me enjoy this
moment of peace
To feel it deep inside me
Today when even dreams land
and close their wings
because it's not the time to fly

See the town from the hill
It seems like an enormous flipper
with all these lights
Even though this is not a game...
we are the marbles
darted in a crazy dance

Let me breathe
a moment of peace
This last draught of fresh air
I want to dedicate myself only
to my dearest feelings
especially if it's about you
[if they are for you]

Let me enjoy this
moment of peace away from every
war that you don't want either
from the gust of images
and various spreading
of toxic ink around us

A moment like that
Who knows when it will back
A moment like that
I wish it could become a normal thing

Let me breathe
a moment of peace
This last draught of fresh air
I want to dedicate myself only
to my dearest feelings
especially if it's about you
[if they are for you]

Let me enjoy this
moment of peace
To feel it deep inside me
Today when even dreams land
and close their wings
because it's not the time to fly

Jai ho (Victory to thee, Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack) - A R Rahman (India)

A better sound version, HERE

Conceptual translation...

Victory to thee

O my life! come under the decorated canopy
Come below the blue sky that has embroidery
made of Silver (meaning: stars)

I am saying truthfully that (while I was away from you),
my life was getting drained out of me,
particle by particle

I was spending nights (as if I was) dancing
on (burning) coals (meaning: fires of loneliness)

The sleep of my eyes got blown away
from my sighs (of sorrow)

My fingers got burnt by counting so many stars
that (science says) are very hot

This night (when you are eventually with me)
is sweet like honey. You also taste it

Keep it, it is (my) heart
which is the ultimate frontier (of all achievements)

The Black eyeliner (in your eyes)
Of course, it is casting
kind of black magic (on me)

Since time unknown, you have been holding some words
at the tip of your tongue (you couldn’t say them),
(now just) say them out (meaning: the words “I love you”)

Say them, yes, say them,
now the eyes have also stooped (in confession)
such illuminated eyes
are these two glittering diamonds?

Baila! Baila!
(Dance! Dance!)

Ahora conmigo, tu baila para hoy
(Now with me, you dance for today)

Por nuestro dia de movidas
(For our day of moves)

los problemas los que sean
(whatever problems may be)

Salud!
(Cheers!)

Baila! Baila!
(Dance! Dance!)

Huo Yuan Jia (Fearless) - Jay Chou (China)

Ho
Life has a few rounds
The platform for the
martial arts contest is waiting

The death consent
What have I won?
Smiling coldly
Who owns the world?
So what if you are number one
Stop the war
My generation still
has martial virtues

My Punches and kicks
are excellent
Yet how come
I receive an undeserved reputation
Jiang Hu is hard to predict
Who is the strongest?
Who fights for the right
to rule over Wu Lin?

In the small town
the years flow past
The clear courage
The memories that have been rinsed
I remember you
Living on proudly

Huo Huo Huo Huo Huo Huo Huo Huo

The forms and moves of the
Huo family fist are flexible

I’m living so I should live
through and complete it

Mistakes and weaknesses
never belong to me

Huo Huo Huo Huo Huo Huo Huo Huo

No one can avoid
if we use our refined moves

Moving (Moving) - Macaco

Moving, all the people moving,
one move for just one dream

We see moving, all the people moving,
one move for just one dream

Time for little movements...
movements in chain reaction

One drop followed by another
can produce waves,
then seas... oceans

Never a law was so simple and clear:
action, reaction, repercussion

Whispers joining become into screams,
together we are evolution

Moving, all the people moving,
one move for just one dream

We see moving, all the people moving,
one move for just one dream

Listen to the call of "Mother Earth",
crib of the creation

Her word is our word,
her "suffering" our voice

If strength is in the little things,
if dexterity moves towards simplicity

Going back to the origins is not moving backwards,
perhaps it is walking toward wisdom

Moving, all the people moving,
one move for just one dream

We see moving, all the people moving,
one move for just one dream...

(one move... moving...
and the world will become
in what you want...
one move... moving...
and the world will become
in what you want)

This is the life life best best under your feet
this is the life life best best under your feet

Moving, all the people moving,
one move for just one dream

We see moving, all the people moving,
one move for just one dream

Angel from the past (Angel del Pasado) - Natalino (Chile)

How much I feel being with you.
How much I fly passing by.
How much I love to be your friend.
How much I wanna be your sea.

When you arrived to my life
and you gave me the way you look...
I feel so many, many things,
that can't be explained.

I love you since always
with your charm, with your age.
You are angel from the past.
You are light, you are my peace.

I perceive you everywhere.
I find you when I wake up
and I can move the whole world,
to see you in freedom.

I wanna see you open your wings.
I wanna see you walk
and so... crossing this path,
you will learn how to fly.

I love you since always
with your charm, with your age.
You are angel from the past.
You are light, you are my peace.

I love you since always
with your charm, with your age.
You are angel from the past.
You are light, you are my peace...
My passion,
my freedom.

You are my happiness.

Since I saw you (Desde que te vi) - Natalino (Chile)

Beauty of my dreams, today,
you come to fill my life.
Things are never perfect,
but that's what I feel, now.

Love is mostly about skin,
you know it since yesterday.
Love is mostly about skin.

Love is so different,
now, that I met you.
Those marks from age,
can be erased, now.

Since I met you,
since the day I saw you.
My love is for you.

Since I saw you,
an arrow you nailed
in me with love.
It was like a spell,
and falling among your nets,
I woke up.

Now you are my life.

In the turns of life and
the turn at the corner of the street.
Close to the pretty things,
there are other things, too.

Since I met you,
since the day I saw you.
My love is for you.

Since I saw you,
an arrow you nailed
in me with love.
It was like a spell,
and falling among your nets,
I woke up.

Now you are my life.

Since I saw you,
an arrow you nailed
in me with love.
It was like a spell,
and falling among your nets,
I woke up.

Now you are my life.

Since I saw you,
an arrow you nailed
in me with love.
It was like...
