It's coming around again

Question

I'm trying to translate that Carly Simon song - Coming Around Again

What's the best way to translate: It's coming around again. Se está volviendo a venir. (?) Está renaciendo (?)

I know nothing stays the same

But if you're willing to play the game

It will be coming around again

Sé que nada se queda igual

pero si estás a gusto jugar el juego

se volverá a renacer.

Is that right?

Thanks.

Answer 1

It will be coming around again

I do not think this can be translated literally within the context of the song.

I think a much better translation would be along the lines of:

"Ya habrá otra oportunidad" / "pronto habrá otra oportunidad"

That makes a lot more sense. Thanks. - alba3, Aug 11, 2010

Answer 2

Here is a link to the translation.

Coming Around Again (Spanish)

nice find. Se viene la vuelta de nuevo - fatchocobo, Aug 10, 2010

Thanks, Nicole. That's an interesting translation. - alba3, Aug 11, 2010

It was definitely a help and I appreciate it but it's just hard to be sure. I definitely agree with "está dispuesto" instead of what I had so that's progress :) - alba3, Aug 11, 2010

Eugh, No!!!!!! That's an electronic translation, and it is horrible! (And most inaccurate!) Good of you to post it, Nicole, but please do not consider it correct! - Gekkosan, Aug 11, 2010

Answer 3

I think I have to say something here, "volverá a renacer" is a wrong sentence, if you use "volverá" you mean something is happening again (in this context) and when you add "re" at the begging of a word you also mean that someting is repeating, so you are being redundant, it's a common error, but an error it is, the correct form would be "volverá a nacer" or "renacerá"

Answer 4

Is everyone in agreement with this translation from Nicole's link (see above)?

Sé que nada permanece igual

Pero si usted está dispuesto a jugar el juego

Se viene la vuelta de nuevo

I ask because there was at least one blatant error in that translation (Daddy breezes in does not mean Daddy brisas en) so that makes me uneasy about the rest of it.

Thanks.

That is true. Sometimes you can never be sure who posted these lyric translations. I have found many errors in Praise and Worship translations. I just thought it would give you something to compare. - Nicole-B, Aug 11, 2010

No, "Se viene la vuelta de nuevo" is *not* correct. - Gekkosan, Aug 11, 2010

Answer 5

Hey alba3,

As far as how would someone really put that, I don't know and I'm interested to see an answer. But I wonder if you need to use volverse, and whether it should be in the future. Wouldn't vuelva a renacer sound pretty good, nomás que "it's returning again" using volver + a + inf? To me that sounds better. What do you think?
