Babelfish sucks.
Yo que te quiero tanto, qué voy a hacer.
Me dejaste, me dejaste.
En un tango.
El alma se me fue.
Se me fue el corazon.
Ya no tengo ganas de vivir.
Porque no te puedo convencer.
Que no te vendas Roxanne.
Anyone?

But what's wrong with the babel fish translation????
I who I want so much to you, what I am going to do. You left me, you left me. In a tango. The soul was to me. It was to me the heart. No longer I have desire to live. Because I cannot convince to you. That you do not sell Roxanne to you.

Nice translation.
Is there a possibility that the Babelfish translation is right, and whichever Spaniard wrote it is just terrible?

Paul (using high school Spanish from the 1980s):
I want you so much, what shall I do.
You left me, you left me.
During a tango.
My spirit has fled.
My heart is gone.
No longer have I joy in life.
Because I could not convince you:
Not to sell yourself, Roxanne.
:::cue The Police:::
I love you since I knew you
I wouldn't talk down to you
I have to tell you just how I feel
I won't share you with another boy
You know my mind is made up
So put away your makeup
Told you once, I won't tell you again
It's a bad way.
Roxanne...you don't have to put on the red light.

Thanks Mennoly.
As for the Spaniard, I don't know. Spanish has NEVER made sense to me. But mabye I'm just language dumb. I barely have a grip on english!

De veras, Danlo? A mi me parece que tu espanol es excelente. (Excepto "mabye" -- "tal vez", tal vez?)
(How the heck do you do the diacritical marks? Oh, never mind....)
Yesterday, I picked up a Spanish-language apartment rental listing, just to see if they market different apartment complexes to Hispanics. They don't. But the apartments they do list tend to be at the lower end of the price spectrum. Imagine that....
