New Afrospanish Collective - translation - help needed
And... one more song by Concha Buika - I love its rhythm! The song is mixed - Spanish and English, so I've cut out most of the English parts. If you want to read the whole lyrics, you'll find the link below.
Can you please look at my translation and help me with the part in bold, as well as revise the rest and suggest some corrections? Thank you ![]()

Me da la gana de sentirme acompañada para el resto de mi vida
Ay que a mi me da la gana de quemarme ay un poquito el corazon,
pero solo el corazon.
.
La soledad viene sin patria, donde te pilla te mata, mi hermano
dame la mano
Tanta patria y tanta convicción vas a acabar sin corazon,
yo no porque yo libre soy
.
No soy americana,
no llevo en la sangre,
ni raza gitana
ni paya* llevo por dentro.
.
I´m not from america
this is my contry
I am from the barrio
Madrid sin cese.
.
Me da la gana de sentir la madre patria en el centro de mi tierra
.
Ay porque yo ya he tenido mucha guerra me alegro se me murio que bien
ay que yo libre soy
.
No soy americana,
no llevo en la sangre,
ni raza gitana
ni paya llevo por dentro.
.
I´m not from america
where are my brothers
I am from the barrio
Madrid sin cese.
.
Nací spanish generation
.
Y siento ansia de rendirme a tantas cosas que ya no siento tormento
Tu que eres un ... pa mis venas, barrera pa quien las quiera y dios
porque yo libre soy
.
I´m from america
I´m from marroquian
Spanishs saharawis**
Sudamerispanos

*) paya - improvised tune or folksong; also a non-gipsy, when referred to by a person of a Gipsy origin
**) Saharawis - Sahara's native people, mostly refugees. Western Sahara has been occupied by Morocco since 1975. Despite a cease-fire between Morocco and the people of Western Sahara since 1991, this has not prevented the people of Western Sahara, called the Saharawis, from being tortured and killed by Moroccan soldiers.*

I want to feel accompanied for the rest of my life
Oh, I feel like getting my heart burnt a little bit,
but only my heart.
.
The loneliness doesn't have a homeland, where it caches you it kills you, my brother
give me your hand
Such a homeland and such a conviction you're going to end up without a heart,
Not me because I am free
.
I'm not American
I don't carry in my blood
any Gipsy race
any Spanish girl on the inside.
.
I'm not from America
this is my country
I am from the neighbourhood
Madrid incessantly
.
I want to feel my mother country in the middle of my land
.
Oh why have I had much warfare my death makes me happy (???), it's so good
Oh, how free I am
.
I'm not American
I don't carry in my blood
any Gipsy race
any Spanish girl on the inside.
.
I´m not from america
where are my brothers
I am from the neighbourhood
Madrid incessantly.
.
Spanish generation was born
.
And I yearn to give myself up to so many things that no longer feel like torture
You who are... through my veins, a barrier against anyone who wants them and God (???)
Because I am free
.
I'm from America
I´m from marroquian
Spanish saharawis
Southamerispanics

My best guess is:
I want to feel like someone will be with me for the rest of my life
I want to feel my heart burn a little bit but just my heart
Loneliness comes without a homeland, where they catch you they kill you
My brother, give me your hand.
So many countries and so much conviction is going to end badly
But Im not because Im free
Im not American
I dont have that in my blood
Im not a gypsy
And I dont have a gypsy song in me.
I´m not from America
This is my country
I'm from the district
Forever Madrid
I want to feel my mother country in the center of the earth
because I have already been in much war I'm happy. I died.
How good that Im free
I was born into a spanish generation
Im anxious to surrender so many things now that I dont feel tortured anymore
You whos a...for my pain (I hear para mi pena, but I dont understand the word before it),
barriers for those who want them and for God
Because Im free
I was listening the song and the original lyrics are a bit wrong i guess, cause it didnt make the correct sense hehe...
"Ay porque yo ya he tenido mucha guerra mi alegro se me murio que bien"
"Oh, because i already have had so much war my happyness died, how good"
.
"Tu que eres un (corte) para mis venas, barreras para quien las quiera y dios"
"You, who are a cut for my veins, walls for who wants them and God"
.
This one was pretty hard, I can't even recognize if she says corte or inorte? its too messy in that part xD cause she mixes the N from "un" with the next word and there isn't any site with good lyrics
I think that's a close translation.
Hmm I didn't notice, gave for granted she was talking about happiness. I thought its because in that part alegro works as a conjuged verb in 1st person, "yo me alegro". But for that we should ask the artist ![]()
Alegría is happiness also.
Thanks for your response ![]()
"Ay porque yo ya he tenido mucha guerra mi alegro se me murio que bien"
But happiness is felicidad, isn't it? Alegro is a music term.
