'Porque te olvide cuando tu mas pensabas'

Question

Help translating these two sentences please?

Thank you!!

'Porque te olvide cuando tu mas pensabas'

'Que no paso un segundo que tu no estuvieras'

I tried to use the translation tool to help, but i couldn't get anything meaningful - though I did find out that estuvieras is a form of the 'to be' verb, estar. - jtt96, Mar 17, 2011

Answer 1

It doesn't make too much sense out of context. You have to look at the song and understand. I hope you forgive my sticking my personal opinion here, but it is a rather pathetic machista song. Not my cup of tea at all. So this guy wants to make sure that this gal is all his, and unsullied by someone else's hands, even though he dropped her at some point. So:

Porque te olvidé cuando tú más pensabas que seria tu vida

"Because I forgot you when you most thought that I'd be your life" or, interpreted more plainly: "Because I forgot (all about you) when you were most sure that you'd be having a life with me".

The other phrase also needs context:

Yo lo daria todo por tenerte cerca

Y contarte un poco de lo que ha pasado

Para que me entiendas

Que no paso un segundo que tu no estuvieras

Y sigo siendo tuyo

"I'd give anything to have you close, and tell you a bit of all that has happened So that you may understand me, that not a second passed that you weren't present (within me, I guess), and that I am still yours".

Yeah, right.

Anyway, that's what it means.

Hahahaha yeah, the lyrics arent the greatest. Thank you for your help - JJovita, Mar 17, 2011

Answer 2

'Porque te olvide cuando tu mas pensabas' 'Que no paso un segundo que tu no estuvieras'

My guess as to what the Spanish ought to be. "'¿Por qué olvidas cuando más piensas?" "No pasó un segundo cuando no estabas."

Your sentences (well, phrases, neither is a complete sentence), as written don't make much sense.

It would be helpful if you took the trouble to write complete (and properly punctuated) sentences. It would also help if you were to state in English (obviously Spanish is not your native language) what you are trying to say.

Excuse me, but these two sentences were from a SONG. - JJovita, Mar 17, 2011

I aware they dont make much sense. Hench why I was asking for help with a loose translation. I grabbed the lyrics from a website (http://www.sweetslyrics.com/816695.Banda Machos - Nadie Te Toco.html) Hence, no accent marks. No need to be nasty - JJovita, Mar 17, 2011

Answer 3

I'm not an expert but maybe this will help shed a lil' light..

Sentence #1: 'Porque te olvide cuando tu mas pensabas'

Because you forget when you think too much

Sentence #2: I can't make any sense of it. You're right in your comment that estuvieras is a form of to be.. I wish I could give more help.
