Is it really this hard?
Spanish IV finals. The teacher gave us this. I listened to the song. It sounded simple enough. But truthfully it doesn't make alot of sense. I could use some help.
La Oreja de Van Gogh Mariposa
Cada fallo Cada imprecisión Cada detalle Todo bajo control
Cada acierto Cada aproximación Cada escena Bajo supervisión
La casualidad se puso el disfraz de una mariposa
que al vuelo se entregó soltando su efecto nos acarició.
No imaginas cómo sería yo si hubiera esperado un segundo más el amor.
Ni mis gestos ni mi propia voz, ni mis besos serían
hoy de los dos.
La casualidad….(2X)
Si quieres venir conmigo a buscar la fórmula exacta
de la realidad intenta escribir a los demás,
procura que nadie nos oiga marchar.
Cada pregunta de cada respuesta
de cada persona de cada planeta de cada reflejo de
cada cometa de cada deseo de cada estrella.
Every mistake Every imprecision Every detail Everything under control
Every certainty Every approximation Every act (scene) Under scrutiny
Chance wears the diguise of a butterfly that succumbs to flight and shedding its effect caressed us.
You can't imagine how I would have if love had waited one second more. (caressed us)
Neither my gestures nor my own voice, nor my kisses would have been of the two today. (about them today)
Chance….(2X)
If you want to come with me to find the exact formula of reallity try to write to the others, make sure that nobody hears us go.
Every question of every answer of every person of every planet of every reflection of every comet of every desire of every star.

Very good job, I would just change two sentences:
You can't imagine how I would be if I had waited one for second the love. (Or "to love", I an not sure if that changes the sense of the sentence).
--La casualidad se puso el disfraz de una mariposa que al vuelo se entregó (y) soltando su efecto nos acarició.
Chance wears the diguise of a butterfly that on the fly succumbed (and) shedding its effect caressed us.
Many Spanish songs make no sense at all. 
The "y" that I wrote is implied, a fictitious comma would fit there too.
Not too bad, Matt, and yes, I suppose that it really is this hard and I´m afraid that I can´t help much since it´s your final but...
Wrong tenses in some of the line starting with "La casualidad se puso el disfraz...·
soltando su efecto (if you understand this line you´ll understand the song a lot better...pista: el efecto mariposa)
cómo sería yo - not translated correctly
...de los dos. - not translated correctly
Good luck
