Anyone has the translation of the song Y Si Fuera Ella by Alejandro Sanz? I know it's a really, really beautiful song although I barely understand it. I'm still learning Spanish and the song's just too hard for me.
If you can show me the link to the translation, that would be great. Even better, you can help me by translating it yourself, that'd be awesome.
Thanks..
p/s: Isn't it just one of the most beautiful songs in the world?

Well, I speak Spanish, but I don't remember all the lyric. If you want to, e-mail me and I'll translate the song (but send me the lyric in Spanish)...

Excellent ballad, and has many more beautiful ones, his biggest hit was CORAZON PARTIO. It was truly a pleasure to translate it for you.....as best as I could.
FYI: He has won 15 Grammy Awards (1 Regular Grammy Award and 14 Latin Grammy Awards) and has sold more than 20 million albums worldwide.
