me estoy volviendo a enamorar

[Stableboy]

This line is from the bridge to Juanes 'Gotas de agua dulce'. I found a translation online that renders it as "I am falling in love", but it seems to me more like "I am returning to win your heart" (yes, there's no object to "enamorar", but the context makes it clear he's talking to a woman.)

What am I missing?

"I'm falling in love again!"

I agree. I'm falling in love again.

Nothing to do with returning to win anyone's heart.

 

[Feña]

yeah... I'm falling in love again must be t' correct translation...

Thanks!

"I'm falling in love again!"

Thanks! The WR dictionary offers only "to win the heart of" for "enamorar". How would you translate that word standing alone?

I agree. I'm falling in love again.

Nothing to do with returning to win anyone's heart.

 

[SanzdeAcedo]

Enamorar= to win the heart of
Enamorarse= To fall in love with

The first one is a transitive verb (requires a direct object). The second one is a pronominal (reflexive) verb.

"To win the heart of" puede en efecto ser traducido como "enamorar" pero enamorar a alguien más, o bien, "ganar su corazón".

Saludos,

In that case, I'm thinking that maybe the lyric really is 'enamorarse', and the transcription is defective!

Thanks again!
