Julieta Venegas – Dulce compañía Lyrics 17 years ago
i listen to her alot. I enjoy all her albums and i always think this song is the most romantic one of hers. i'll try my best, please correct me when i'm wrong (i'm only learning espanYol)

Today i want silence. i don't want anything to change.
I want to stay like this and savor this peace.
I'm having a moment of calm.
I feel the weight of this complicated life falling off of me.

it's because...

Nothing out there could make me happier.
How by just feeling your presence, tranquility surrounds me.

You are my sweet companion. And my soul is thirsty.
I feel completely revived when you see me.

I want to keep on sitting here. Just to see your silouette return.
I want to wrap myself in your hands and feel your skin.
I can't explain it. How is it that you could enter my weary heart,
a heart that wouldn't give anymore.

Nothing out there could make me happier.
How by just feeling your presence, tranquility surrounds me.

You are my sweet companion. And my soul is thirsty.
I feel completely revived when you see me.

Julieta Venegas – Limón Y Sal Lyrics 17 years ago
Tengo que confesarte ahora
nunca crei en la felicidad
aveces algo se le parece
pero es pura casualidad

I must confess to you,
that i never believed in happiness.
Although sometimes, something may seem like it,
it's all purely coincidental (?)

I think i know what she means. but i can't really be sure. Can someone help me

Julieta Venegas – Me Voy Lyrics 17 years ago
because you didn't understand what's in my heart.
because you didn't have the courage to see who i am.

because you don't listen to the things closest to you.
you only listen to the noises outside.
And i, the person right next to you, disappear completely.

But i'm not gonna cry and say that i don't deserve this.
Because maybe i do, but still, i don't want this. So i'm leaving.

Too bad, but good bye.
I'm leaving you. Fare thee well.

because i know someone better awaits me.
someone that knows how to love.
someone that will turn salt into sugar, and night into day.

You see, I thought i would never leave you.
i thought our love was good and ever lasting.
but now i understand that's not gonna be enough for us.

So i'm not gonna cry and say that i don't deserve this,
because i probably do. Still, i don't want it, so i'm leaving.

Too bad, but good bye.
i'm leaving you, fare thee well.

This obviously isn't a literal translation. I want to translate the emotions (i think) she conveyed through american phrasings. I'm only learning spanish and i want to relate the lyrics with the language i'm used to hearing and thinking. if i would've directly translate it, it would've sounded too rigid for me.

The song is particularly beautiful because of the melody. the waltz-y rithym lends a romantic feel, while the actual lyrics can be quite cold. The chorus may lead you into believing that she still misses him, because maybe the relationship isn't that bad. But as she mentions, she believes she can find someone better, someone who's ideal, so she isn't settling and she isn't looking back.
