I was also a little nervous to have to post something publicly as translation is difficult and this was my first class that involved it. After careful consideration, Shima and I decided we wanted to do something fun for this project and since we both love music (as I think most people do) we decided we would translate one of our favorite artists\u2019 work. I had just come back from Chile in January and while I was there they were constantly playing Wisin y Yandel so it was fresh in my mind and on my iPod so we decided we wanted to translate their work. At first we thought it would be easy as we knew the lyrics off by heart but because we had never considered those lyrics in English, it proved to be a lot harder than we expected but it was still enjoyable. We knew the biggest problems were going to be translation loss and literal translation.  The songs contain a lot of Spanish slang so English idioms were going to be necessary to complete this project.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>Erin and I were really excited about this project because this was our chance to find something creative to translate. We thought about translating articles, research papers, even books but none of those excited us. However, we both love music so we decided to translate one of our favourite Spanish singers called Wisin y Yandel, they\u2019re from Puerto Rico and their music is very Latino and fun to listen to. Therefore, we each picked two of our favourite songs and began the process of translating. Halfway through, it wasn\u2019t as easy as we thought. There were many things we had to think about prior to translating it, we thought about if we could keep the same rhyming scheme, or use the same expressions, but what we did notice was a lot of translation loss that came with translating the songs.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Source texts: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.musica.com\/letras.asp?letra=1605414\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;Besos Mojados&#8221;<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.musica.com\/letras.asp?letra=1603837\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;Gracias a ti&#8221;<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.musica.com\/letras.asp?letra=1606757\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;Emociones&#8221;<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.musica.com\/letras.asp?letra=1583919\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;Abusadora&#8221;<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>(Compare <a href=\"http:\/\/lyricstranslate.com\/en\/besos-mojados-wet-kisses.html\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;Wet Kisses&#8221;<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/lyricstranslate.com\/en\/gracias-ti-thanks-you.html\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;Thanks to You&#8221;<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/lyricstranslate.com\/en\/abusadora-abuser-female.html\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;Abuser&#8221;<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wisinyandelpr.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Wisin y Yandel Official Site<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Wet Kisses<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The revolution<br \/>\nW, Ya-Yandel<br \/>\nLuny Tunes!<\/p>\n<p>Hey Shorty!
