Need help translating into spanish for a tattoo

Question

I am planning on a getting a tattoo next week and would like to verify that my translation is accurate...

Here is the English text:

For it was not into my ear that you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul.

My translation:

Porque no era mi oreja* que le susurró, pero en mi corazón. No era mis labios* que me besó, pero mi alma.

• *Should this be oído instead??
• *Should this be mi boca instead??

Any help is much appreciated.

Answer 1

Porque no susurraste a mi oído, sino a mi corazón. Lo que besaste no fueron mis labios, sino mi alma.

Fewer characters = less pain

I used the "tú" form of the verbs, even though it was more characters. It just sounds odd using the "Usted" form for someone doing those things to you. ;-) - gintar77, Jun 10, 2011

Answer 2

My translation = "Porque no fue en el oído que me susurró, sino en mi corazón, no fueron mis labios los que besaste, sino mi alma"

Wouldn´t it be sino instead of si no? - tc84, Jun 10, 2011

Oh yes, you're right! - Milagro1983, Jun 10, 2011

Answer 3

Porque no fue en mi oreja/oído que susurraste, sino en mi corazón. No fueron mis labios los que besaste, sino mi alma.
