Quisiera ayuda con letra

Question

Hola,

I sometimes take a break and (attempt to) translate songs from groups I like. One of my favorites is San Pascualito Rey, which my ear loves, but which unfortunately, tends to be rife with metaphors, making it a hard slog for a beginner.

At the moment, I´m having trouble with the following line, (and one other) even though I know it´s spelled right, simply by the fact that the particular video (in youtube, further below) has lyrics.

Vasta con descansar mi cabeza

Something with Vast? to rest-relax my head ??

Just can´t figure this one out.

The other one has ambiguity (to me) in the word Lengua. I´m guessing Tongue rather than Language here, but welcome opinions. I´m in over my cabeza.

Arar con mis dientes tus labios. To till your tongue with my teeth Cultivar mi nombre en tu lengua. To cultivate my name in your tongue/language

Gracias a todos por ayudarme

Answer 1

"Vasta" is wrong. It should be "basta"

And, in this case, "lengua" = "tongue".

Thanks much. Interesting. Even natives (presumably native speakers did the subtitles) get it wrong. - rogspax, Jun 19, 2012

De nada :) Sí, ten cuidado con los subtítulos de canciones, porque muchas veces hay errores ;) - Cordobesa, Jun 19, 2012
