"I miss hearing you sing to me"

Question

Cómo se dice " I miss hearing you sing to me"

Extraño oirte cantarme? Doesn't seem right to be but that's the best I can do!!

Thanks in anticipation,

Andrew

Answer 1

Echo de menos que me cantes...echo de menos oirte cantar.

Extraño oirte cantar para mí.

Your translation was good actually

We do not use extrañar in this context in Spain. Good job silver

Muchas gracias como siempre Heidita. A propósito, aprendí español en Argentina asi que sabes si el uso de "extrañar" en este contexto sería correcto allí? - silverlake, Aug 1, 2010

Answer 2

Echo de menos que me cantes ?

Answer 3

Extraño los días cuando me cantabas. Extraño el sonido de tu voz.

I miss the days when you used to sing to me. I miss the sound of your voice. Gracias.

Muy bien Jeezle, gracias, pero queria una traducción que fuera mas literal si es posible? - silverlake, Aug 1, 2010

Sorry, I have a tendency to transliterate. It's the poet inside me yearning to get out. ;) - jeezzle, Aug 1, 2010

Answer 4

Extraño escucharte cantar

Answer 5

Me extraño oyendo cantas a mi, would be a good literal translation, but you might want to state it a little differently. something more like "Deseo que yo pueda oir cantas/ tu vos otra vez" I wish that I could hear you sing/ your voice again.

Thanks Kylew! However I feel that "Deseo que yo pueda oir cantas" isn't correct because there is no change of subject. I would write "deseo que me cantes otra vez". Perhaps a native speaker could correct me if I'm wrong? - silverlake, Aug 1, 2010

Silver, you are correct. - LuisaGomezBartle, Aug 1, 2010
