Respecto a la traducción de la canción de U2 - With or without you.
See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side.
I wait for you.
Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait without you
See the thorn twist in your side.
I wait for you.
Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait without you
With or without you
With or without you.
With or without you.
Through the storm, we reach the shore
You gave it all but I want more
And I’m waiting for you
You gave it all but I want more
And I’m waiting for you
With or without you
With or without you.
I can’t live with or without you.
With or without you.
I can’t live with or without you.
And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give, and you give
And you give yourself away.
And you give yourself away
And you give, and you give
And you give yourself away.
My hands are tied, my body bruised
She got me with nothing to win
And nothing else to lose.
She got me with nothing to win
And nothing else to lose.
And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give, and you give
And you give yourself away.
And you give yourself away
And you give, and you give
And you give yourself away.
With or without you
With or without you
I can’t live
With or without you.
With or without you
I can’t live
With or without you.
With or without you
With or without you
I can’t live
With or without you
With or without you
I can’t live
With or without you
With or without you.
En primera instancia parece una canción de un hombre hacia una mujer, sin embargo, investigando, existen razones para creer que es una especie de oración a Dios, te pongo la traducción y viéndola bajo esa perspectiva, parece tener sentido lo que te menciono. Creo que ambas interpretaciones son válidas. Lo interesante es cuando dice "give yourself away" - te revelas, te muestras, te haces evidente, te descubres...
Espero te sea de utilidad.
VEO LA PIEDRA PUESTA EN TUS OJOS.
VEO LA ESPINA GIRANDO EN TU COSTADO.
ESPERO POR TI.
PRESTIDIGITACIÓN Y VUELTA DEL DESTINO,
EN UNA CAMA DE CLAVOS ELLA ME HACE ESPERAR,
Y ESPERO SIN TI.
CONTIGO O SIN TI,
CONTIGO O SIN TI.
A TRAVÉS DE LA TORMENTA ALCANZAMOS LA ORILLA.
TÚ ENTREGAS TODO PERO QUIERO MÁS.
Y ESTOY ESPERANDOTE.
CONTIGO O SIN TI,
CONTIGO O SIN TI.
NO PUEDO VIVIR
CONTIGO O SIN TI.
Y TE DEJASTE VER,
Y TE DEJASTE VER,
Y TE DEJASTE ,
Y TE DEJASTE ,
Y TE DEJASTE VER.
MIS MANOS ESTÁN ATADAS.
MI CUERPO MAGULLADO, ME TIENE CON
NADA PARA GANAR Y
NADA PARA PERDER.
Y TE DEJASTE VER,
Y TE DEJASTE VER,
Y TE DEJASTE ,
Y TE DEJASTE ,
Y TE DEJASTE VER.
CONTIGO O SIN TI,
CONTIGO O SIN TI.
NO PUEDO VIVIR
CONTIGO O SIN TI.
CONTIGO O SIN TI,
CONTIGO O SIN TI.
NO PUEDO VIVIR
CONTIGO O SIN TI,
CONTIGO O SIN TI.
VEO LA ESPINA GIRANDO EN TU COSTADO.
ESPERO POR TI.
PRESTIDIGITACIÓN Y VUELTA DEL DESTINO,

CONTIGO O SIN TI,
CONTIGO O SIN TI.

Anoto parte de una entrevista a Bono:
Actually, Bono talks about the meaning of this song in U2 By U2.
Here's an exerpt:
[These remarks were triggered by questions about the meaning of "With or Without You", but are clearly about more than that.]
Bono: "The lyric is pure torment. One of the things that was happening at the time was the collision in my own mind between being faithful to your art or being faithful to your lover. What if the two are at odds? Your gift versus domestic responsibility? I had always been the kind of person who would sleep on everyone else's floor, the eye of the travelling rat, a natural tinker. I would just wander off and be very happy. So now I have this person in my life whom I love more than my life but I'm wondering if the reason I'm not writing is because I'm now a domesticated beast. I'm wondering if I'm house-trained? If I meet somebody and I want to go off with them, to find out what their world is like, I can't because I'm a married man. It's not even about sexual infidelity. I just remember thinking: 'Is this the life of an artist? Am I going to have kids and settle down and betray my gift or am I going to betray my marriage? It was a very difficult thing in my head. I had met a couple of people on the way who had taken advantage of my naivete, is the best way I can put it, and I realized I knew so very little about this world and now, the future looked like I was going to know even less. You can learn about politcs, culture, but your emotional life also has to be developed. I think in some senses mine wasn't, and I was going through all this kind of uncertainty. I was at least two people: the person who is so responsible, protective and loyal and the vagrant and idler in me who just wants to run from responsibility. I thought these tensions were going to destroy me but actually, in truth, it is me. That tension, it turns out, is what makes me as an artist. Right in the centre of a contradiction, that's the place to be. There I was. Loyal. But in my imagination filled with wanderlust, a heart to know God, a head to know the world, rock star who likes to run amok and sinner who knows he needs to repent....
If I had cut loose, what would have become of me?"
[He goes on at further length about some artists he admires who did "cut loose". They lost a great deal, maybe everything. He prefers to maintain the tension between the two extremes, and to not "go too far either way".]
