Exercise 2

Listen to the poem

 

Make you Feel ny Love

 

When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer a warm embrace
To make you feel my love

When evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one there to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love

I know you haven’t made your mind up yet
But I would never do you wrong
I’ve known it from the moment that we met
No doubt in my mind where you belong

I’d go hungry, I’d go black and blue
I’d go crawling down the avenue
And oh, there’s nothing that I wouldn’t do
To make you feel my love

The storms are raging on the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
You ain’t seen nothing like me yet

I could make you happy, make your dreams come true
Nothing that I wouldn’t do
Go to the ends of the earth for you
To make you feel my love

 

Make you feel my love (Translation)

Cuando la lluvia caiga sobre tu rostro
Y el mundo entero quepa en tu maleta
Yo podría ofrecerte un cálido abrazo
Para hacerte sentir mi amor.
Cuando las sombras de la noche y las estrellas aparezcan
Y no haya nadie allí para secar tus lágrimas
Yo podría sostenerte por un millón de años
Para hacerte sentir mi amor.
Sé que no has tomado una decisión aún.
pero yo nunca podría hacerte daño
Lo supe desde el momento en que nos encontramos
No albergo dudas acerca del lugar al que perteneces.
Pasaré hambre, pasaré todas las penurias.
Recorreré las calles de rodillas.
No hay nada que yo no haría
Para hacerte sentir mi amor
La tormentas están en su apogeo sobre el mar embravecido
y en la carretera del arrepentimiento.
Aunque soplen vientos de cambio salvajes y libres
no has visto nada parecido a mí todavía.
Yo podría hacerte feliz, hacer realidad tus sueños
No hay nada que yo no hiciese
Iría al fin del mundo por ti
Para hacerte sentir mi amor.
para hacerte sentir mi amor.
