Original lyrics
Spanish
Translation
Te necesito
I need you
Oh, how do you want me to clear up myself?
If I am still too young
To understand what I feel
But not enough to swear to the very same black angel
That if he breaks the distance separating us right now
I will come back to adore him, I would give even my soul
If he takes your presence here in this endless night
I need you as sunlight
In this cold winter
To feel your warm around
Oh, how do you want me to forget you?
If your name is in the air
And blows around my memories
If I already know you’re not free,
If I already know I shouldn’t
To retain you in my mind
That’s the way I gaze at
My storm of torture,
That’s the way I love you
I need you as sunlight
In this cold winter
To receive your warmth
I need you as sunlight
Your eyes are the abyss
Where my mind dies
Oh, how do you want me to clear up myself?
Oh, love, how do you want me to forget you?
I need you as sunlight
In this cold winter
To receive your warmth
I need you as sunlight
Your eyes are the abyss
Where my mind dies.
Oh, I need you
I need you
I need you
I need you.

A few things:
Verse 1, line 1: "Oh, how can I make myself clear?" (more idiomatic)
Chorus, like 1: "I need you like I need sunlight" (as opposed to needing them instead of sunlight)
Chorus, line 3: "To feel your warmth"
Verse 2, line 1: "Oh, how can I forget you?" (sounds more idiomatic and consistent with before)
Verse 2, line 6: "Hold onto your memory" (follows on from the line before)
And this one is just preference:
Verse 2, line 8: "My storm of torment" (torment sounds more like storm, or like torrent, so it compensates better for the loss in repetition of sounds)
