That's fun....I think I will translate one of my songs into Spanish and back into English and see what happens....could make for good material since week 45 is about "writers"

So the correct translation would be = I like the guitar playing and singing too = Me gusta como tocas guitarra y como cantas tambien. :D

LOL sorry :P
señores de muchas gracias Sirs of much grace ? lol]]> Sunday Songwriters Group Coolnama https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/ssg7-week-44-if-i-had-time-mp3-version2/#post-338723 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/ssg7-week-44-if-i-had-time-mp3-version2/#post-338575 Fri, 04 Sep 2009 04:42:55 +0000
In the first version my intention was:
Establish time as a tradeable entity
Reveal that it's her time/attention/love he wants
Give some context i.e. they've had some past issue
If she forgives him he will make worth her while.

In the second version my intention is:
Establish time as a tradeable entity
Reveal that it's her time/attention/love he wants
Forget the context, but reinforce that it's her time (cos her time is best)
The more time/attention/love she gives him the more time/attention/love she gets

Ok so here goes, the bridge has changed, without regret (pun intended :lol: )

Version 2
========
Time is a universal currency
Time is a price paid just to be
And if I had time babe
I'd be as rich as rich could be

Time is like a commodity
And I need you to share some time, share some time with me
And if I had time babe
I'd be living in ecstasy

But I ain't got the time
ain't got time for the rest
No I ain't got the time
Cos babe it's your time that's the best

Time is a universal currency
And I'm gonna pay, gonna to pay what is due
But if I had more time babe
I'd spend it all on you]]> Sunday Songwriters Group pbee https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/ssg7-week-44-if-i-had-time-mp3-version2/#post-338575 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/ssg7-week-44-if-i-had-time-mp3-version2/#post-338559 Fri, 04 Sep 2009 03:21:50 +0000 Excellent suggestions, JT.]]> Sunday Songwriters Group KR2 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/ssg7-week-44-if-i-had-time-mp3-version2/#post-338559 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/ssg7-week-44-if-i-had-time-mp3-version2/#post-338550 Fri, 04 Sep 2009 02:08:13 +0000 Sunday Songwriters Group jamestoffee https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/ssg7-week-44-if-i-had-time-mp3-version2/#post-338550 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/ssg7-week-44-if-i-had-time-mp3-version2/#post-338538 Thu, 03 Sep 2009 23:16:11 +0000 Lots time for regret

Quiero la guitarra que juega y canta también.....I mean

Hi Paul,

I like the guitar playing and singing also. :lol:

I am getting mixed messages from the singer.....on one hand, he wants to be in a relationship with the other person....on the other hand, he doesn't have the time to be with the person?.....but no details as to why.......then it sounds like the start of a new relationship......but then it also sounds like a we broke up and I want to get back together b/c of the "regret" lines.....

Suggestion:

Clarify the relationship between singer and singee......

one idea.....What if you tried it as a straight up request for the person's time to start a new love relationship?....and the punch line or sales pitch is "you give me your time, and I'll spend it all on you"

For example:

Time is a universal currency
Time is a price paid just to be
And if YOU had THE time babe
I'd be as rich as rich could be

Time is like a commodity
And I need you to share some time, share some time with me
And if YOU had THE time babe
I'd be living in ecstasy

But YOU SAY YOU ain't got the time
Got no time for regret
YOU ain't got no time
Lets just forgive and forget

Time is a universal currency
And we got to pay, we got to pay what is due
And if YOU GAVE ME THE time babe
I'd spend it all on you

She doesn't speak English that well . . . but spoke it well enough to say she likes the blues and liked your song.]]> Sunday Songwriters Group KR2 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/ssg7-week-44-if-i-had-time-mp3-version2/#post-338402 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/ssg7-week-44-if-i-had-time-mp3-version2/#post-338386 Wed, 02 Sep 2009 16:29:58 +0000 Sunday Songwriters Group stikman https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/ssg7-week-44-if-i-had-time-mp3-version2/#post-338386
