Translation in Spanish

verse

Sometimes I feel like I don′t have a partner
A veces siento como si no tuviese un amigo
Sometimes I feel like my only friend
A veces siento que mi único amigo
Is the city I live in, the city of angels
Es la ciudad donde vivo, la ciudad de los ángeles
Lonely as I am, together we cry
Sola como yo, juntos lloramos
I drive on her streets 'cause she′s my companion
Conduzco en sus calles porque ella es mi compañera
I walk through her hills 'cause she knows who I am
Camino por sus colinas, porque sabe quien soy
She sees my good deeds and she kisses me windy
Ella ve mis buenas acciones y me besa
Well, I never worry, now that is a lie
Nunca me preocupo, ahora eso es una mentira

chorus

I don't ever want to feel like I did that day
Nunca más me quiero sentir como lo hice ese día
Take me to the place I love, take me all the way
Llévame al lugar que amo, llévame todo al camino
I don′t ever want to feel like I did that day
Nunca más me quiero sentir como lo hice ese día
Take me to the place I love, take me all the way
Llévame al lugar que amo, llévame todo al camino
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Si, si, si

verse

It′s hard to believe that there's nobody out there
Es difícil creer que no hay nadie ahí afuera
It′s hard to believe that I'm all alone
Es difícil creer que estoy totalmente solo
At least I have her love, the city she loves me
Por lo menos tengo su amor, la ciudad que me ama
Lonely as I am, together we cry
Sola como yo, juntos lloramos

chorus

And I don′t ever want to feel like I did that day
Nunca más me quiero sentir como lo hice ese día
Take me to the place I love, take me all the way
Llévame al lugar que amo, llévame todo al camino
Well, I don't ever want to feel like I did that day
Bien, no me quiero sentir más como lo hice ese día
Take me to the place I love, take me all the way
Llévame al lugar que amo, llévame todo al camino

verse

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Sí, sí, sí, sí
Oh, no, no, no, yeah, yeah
Oh no, no, no, sí, sí
Love me, I said yeah, yeah
Ámame, dije sí, sí
One time
Una vez
(Under the bridge downtown)
(Bajo el puente en el centro de la ciudad)
Is where I drew some blood
Es donde dibujé algo de sangre
(Under the bridge downtown)
(Bajo el puente en el centro de la ciudad)
I could not get enough
(No pude conseguir lo suficiente)
(Under the bridge downtown)
(Bajo el puente en el centro de la ciudad)
Forgot about my love
(Olvidé a mi amor)
(Under the bridge downtown)
(Bajo el puente en el centro de la ciudad)
I gave my life away
Dejé mi vida irse

outro

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (ooh)
Sí, sí, sí, sí, (aay)
Oh, no, no, no, yeah, yeah
Oh no, no, no, sí, sí
I said oh, yeah, yeah
Dije oh, si, si
Where I′ll stay (ooh)
Dónde me quedaré (aay)
