gypsy kings song, to english. (perhaps it's a dialect?)

in case the words below are not correct, the song can be heard at

Un amor
Un amor vivio
Llorando y me decia
Las palabras de dio
Llorando por tio
Es con amor

Un amor
Un amor vivio
Llorando ja tormentado
Las palabras de dio
Llorando por tio
Es con amor

Ey para ja vivir
A cunta ti
Me en amore yo de ti
Y sin tus besos yo no puedo
Vivir y recordar

Yo qui siera
Para tenderlo un amor y saber
Que me queria y a tormentado
Las palabras de dio
Llorando por tio
Es con amor
 
not a native speaker, but i will try...

A love
A love lived (this must be an expression - "vivio llorando" means "it lived crying" - but since later the text says "tio" instead of "ti", it could also be "vivi", not "vivio" - in this case it would mean "I lived a love" which to me makes more sense)
Crying and told me
The words of (God?) (I suppose instead of "dio" it is "dios"? The final -s isn't pronounced clearly in some dialects)
Crying for ("tio" means uncle, but it would make more sense if it says "ti" - "you")
It is with love

A love
A love lived/I lived a love
Crying and tormented (okay now I started googling for the correct words, which seems to indicate my corrections above might be right too - in this case instead of "ja tormentado" it is "y atormentado")
The words of God
Crying for you
It is with love

Ey to live
(this line doesn't make sense to me)
I fell in love with you (Me enamore...)
And without your kisses I can't
Live and remember

I wish (Yo quisiera)
To understand it (entenderlo?)/have it (tenerlo?), a love, and know
That she loved me and tormented
The words of God
Crying for you
It is with love...



Okay, that is my try... Maybe the native speakers could correct it... trisquel? anyone?
 
Un amor
Un amor viví
Llorando. Y mi decía:
Las palabras de Dios,
Llorando por tii-iiii-iii,
es con amor.

Un amor
Un amor viví
Llorando. Y mi decía: ( LLorando, ya tormentado)
Las palabras de Dios,
Llorando por tii-iiii-iii, es con amor.
(chorus:)

Yo quisiera
Para entender un amor yo saber
Que me quería ya tormentado
Las palabras de Dios,
Llorando por ti,
es con amor.

Hay para vivir ya junto a ti
Me enamoré ya de ti
Ya sin tus besos yo no puedo
Vivir con el acordar
(same chords as first verse)


that is the lyric to the song
Munachi did a good translation
