I wasn't going for a literal translation, google translate can give me that. I'm going for the meaning behind the chorus. And from the look of it, yours is pretty close to what I wrote as well.

As for the Spanish, Paul is fluent in the language, much like he is with English and French (Though French maybe not so much as the other two). I thought the Spanish chorus ruined the song the first time I heard it, but I prefer it to anything he could have sung in English now.

You got it right on the money as did frnzferevolution. As to your question why the Spanish ? If you listen to lighthouse he has a bit of Spanish in it as well. As to your question why is it in Spanish ? Paul Banks says the Spanish language has more Rythim than English and deeper sense of meanings.Paul did live in mexico city and Spain for most of his childhood so Spanish is an extension of him. So the question to you is WHY NOT SPANISH ? something that's a part of him and crisp and new that should...

"IT'S LIKE LEARNING A NEW LANGUAGE." I came on this to see what people had to say about the song and it didn't dissapoint but that little question you had blew up like a bomb. I don't look up lyrics that often but I had to for this one just to see what people had to say.
blackmantis' translation is indeed far off ('tener' is 'to have', 'to possess' not 'to lose'!) Here is my attempt at the Spanish part:
I generally have... I let go I let go in the undoing winning does not compare to plain losing
Beautiful song. I just still don't see the reason for the Spanish... any ideas?
