Awkward translation of lyrics

[edit]

The English translation of the lyrics is grammatically poor in many places, and even cleaning up the grammar in each line leaves many difficulties for the reader. I've made a start at repair, but I really think that the reader is poorly served by the line-by-line format. Translating each line literally and on its own might be good in a textbook, but it's really a bad idea for poetry. I gave up on this effort because I don't know Spanish well enough to undertake the whole poem in anything like reasonable time, let alone reformat the whole section to stanza by stanza translation.
