Cover art for Fantasma lyrics by Nelly Furtado

Well there were some mistakes with the accents, but overall it is alright I suppose. I'll post the edited version in a minute. Here is a translation of the song for those who don't know Spanish: (Note that I made some changes that made no sense in English)

If someone sees me through the window Don't be scared for I will not heed to the looks Forgive me if I remind you of a ghost Not wanting to be at the fierceness of my desire

It's like a lost love That I now search for in the windows Time passed and traveled and today I no longer see the sun or hear the wind All my moments are the same The sea destroys me And I will love And I

I'll be here, here, always here Until the end I'll never leave, never will I leave far from you My love, I'll continue searching for your warmth I'll be your ghost

I'll hide in that book you've read I'll be there as you think of what you've learned Life is more than what any text says You'll know if one day you find yourself alone and sad

It's like a lost love That I now search in the windows Time passed and traveled and today I no longer see the sun or hear the wind All my moments are the same The sea destroys me And I will love And I

I'll be here, here, always here Until the end I'll never leave, never will I leave far from you My love, I'll continue searching for your warmth I'll be your ghost

I'll be here, here, always here Until the end I'll never leave, never will I leave far from you My love, I'll continue searching for your warmth I'll be your ghost

Ghost, Ghost

I no longer see the sun or hear the wind (I no longer see the sun) All my moments are the same (They're all the same) The sea destroys me And I will love (My moments)

I'll be here, here, always here Until the end I'll never leave, never will I leave far from you My love, I'll continue searching for your warmth (I'll continue, I'll continue, I'll continue) I'll be your ghost

I'll be here, here, always here (I am, I am, I am, your ghost) Until the end I'll never leave, never will I leave far from you My love, I'll continue searching for your warmth I'll be your ghost

I wanted to put 'Phantom' but 'Ghost' would be better, or however you want to use it. The song is about Nelly (Nelly is singing so it's her I'll say) telling someone she loves that she has remained untouched by changes (Like time) and so has her love. It may even be hinting that she might be deceased and has chosen to follow her loved one forever. She also says that she can no longer see the sun or hear the wind or feel the warmth of her loved one; as a ghost she is limited to what she can do, and says that she will always be with her loved one as a ghost. I think she might be lost and searching for her loved one....anyone?

It sounds sad, for someone to love and linger near the one that they loved when they were once alive. It just comes to show that sometimes it's love that has no bounds, even in death.
