Jennifer Lopez- Dame Lyrics and Translation

In February I did a post with the lyrics for Nelly Furtado's song Te Busque. It has some Spanish lyrics and I had a go at translating them. I enjoyed that, so I decided to have a go with one my favourite singers Jennifer Lopez's songs. It's called Dame (Touch Me) and is a duet with Puerto Rican-American singer Chayanne. It appeared on her 2nd album J.Lo (2001).


Update 13/4/18: I went over this again and think Dame likely translates as "Give me".

I used Google Translate, a couple of other online translation sites and my old Spanish dictionary for help! I had a bit of trouble with the title, "Dame" comes out as "give to me" on Google Translate but since the song is also called "Touch Me" I'm going to presume that's what they're singing. I got the lyrics from Letssingit.com. They're in  the CD booklet too but I also found a lyrics video on YouTube where some of them have an extra bit added or slightly different to what's written in the booklet. It does sound like what they're actually singing in the song, so I used an extra line.

Some of the lines probably aren't the most accurate translation, so if anyone is a native or fluent Spanish speaker and has a better/more exact translation then let me know! :)







Dame (Touch Me)


Verse 1

Baby, me atrapas*
Baby, you've trapped me
Me enloqueces
You drive me crazy
Con tu cuerpo me tienes
With your body you got me
Justo en el punto que quieres
Just at the point you want
Donde el alma se pierde
Where the soul is lost

Baby, dime lo que piensas
Baby, tell me what you think
Me estoy dando cuenta
I am realising
Eso que estás provoacando
You are provoking
Yo sé muy bien lo que estás pensando
I know very well what you're thinking


Ahora sabes lo que yo estoy sintiendo
Now you know what I'm feeling
Me vuelvo loco con tu cruel movimento
I go crazy with your cruel motion
Cómo quisiera con mis labios tocarte
How I wish to touch you with my lips
Acariciarte, seducirite y amarte
Caress, seduce and love you
Oh baby, please



Chorus

Dame, dame, dame
Give me, give me, give me (Or touch me, touch me, touch me)
(Quiero sentir)
(I want to feel)
Dame, dame, dame
Give me, give me, give me
(Todo de ti)
(All of you)
Quiero, quiero, quiero
I want, I want, I want
Perderme en tu pasión y tu deseo
To get lost in your passion and your desire

Repeat




Verse 2

Me llames
Call me
Me dices que me quiere
You tell me you want me
Y que me das la vida solo por tenerme
And you'd give your life only to have me

Te pido un poco mas de tu tiempo
I ask for a little more of your time
No mes ve que estoy muriendo?
Can't you see I'm dying?
Tan solo por un beso
Only/just for a kiss
Es urgente tenerte en mis brazos
It's urgent to have you in my arms
Sin ti me voy hundiendo despacio
Without you I'm slowly sinking

Ahora sabes lo que yo estoy sintiendo
Now you know what I'm feeling
Me vuelvo loco con tu cruel movimento
I go crazy with your cruel movement
Cómo quisiera con mis labios tocarte
How I wish to touch you with my lips
Acariciarte, seducirite y amarte
Caress, seduce and love you
Oh baby, please





Chorus x4



Bridge

Que mas de sino es para siempre
Who cares if it's not forever?
Lo que sientes (Lo que sientes)
What you feel
Solo se que solo al mirate quiero tenerte, amarte asi**
I only want to look at you, love you so
Pideme aguello que quieras cuando quieras (Cuando quieras)
Ask me what you want when you want
Si no es amor basta con tu pasion
If not love your passion is enough

Dame
Give me
Todo de ti
All of you
Quiero
I want
Oh baby, please

Chorus x3 


*I wasn't sure if this would best translate as "You've trapped me" or "You've caught me" but I chose "trapped" for now.

**Not sure about this line.

New Unexpected

We're finally getting the new season of the reality TV series Unexpected in the UK! Season 3 was shown in the US last summer , and I wondered when we'd get it here. I don't have any online streaming services so thought I'd just watch clips on YouTube, lol. However it's now starting here in early March. Similar to the popular MTV franchise Teen Mom , Unexpected focuses on teen parents. The first series featured 3 couples expecting babies- Lily Bennett and her boyfriend James Kennedy who have daughter Aaliyah, now 2;  Mckayla Adkins and partner Caelan Morrison who have son Timothy, also known as Timmy (and now daughter Gracelynn , born in January 2019), and  Lexus Scheller and boyfriend Shayden Massey who have daughter Scarlett. Season 2 saw the departure of Lilly and the addition of 3 new pregnant girls and their partners- Laura Barron and her boyfriend (now husband) Tylor Stawmyor who have son Lucas (and have since had another baby , a 2nd son, who is named Leo), ...

South Indian Videos

I've written several Bollywood posts this year but I don't feature South Indian music/films as much. So today I'm sharing some music and dance videos from Tollywood ( the Telugu language film industry) and Kollywood (the Tamil language film industry). :) Oo Antava Mawa- Pushpa- Dance Cover by Sonali First up is a dance cover of the song Oo Antava Mawa..Oo Oo Antava from the 2021 Tollywood film Pushpa: The Rise- Part 1 . I previously featured a dance cover of Oo Antava Mawa in a Dance Videos post in August last year. That one is by Rang De and you can see it here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2023/08/dance-videos.html This cover is by Indian choreographer Sonali Bhaduria, from LiveToDance with Sonali and was uploaded in January 2022. It's a shorter video.   For more on Pushpa and to watch the official Oo Antava Mawa video, check out my Tollywood Videos Round-up 2 post from September 2023: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2023/09/tollywood-videos-round-up-2.html ...

20th Anniversary of Mariah's The Emancipation of Mimi Album- Part 1

My favourite singer Mariah Carey is celebrating the 20th Anniversary of her 10th studio album The Emancipation of Mimi. It was released back in April 2005. I'd planned to write just one post about the album but it was turning into a really long one, so I've decided to divide it into two parts! Here is Part 1. :) The Emancipation of Mimi (or TEOM for short!) was considered Mariah's "comeback album" at the time, following on from her previous two albums, Glitter (2001) which was accompanied by the film of the same name and Charmbracelet (2002). Neither the Glitter movie or album were very well received and after going through a difficult time in general, Mariah had an emotional and physical breakdown and checked into hospital that summer. She was diagnosed with bipolar II disorder , although didn't feel ready to speak about it pubicly until several years later .  Although Charmbracelet (MC's first release after leaving Virgin Records America and singing w...
