Translations I found online for Juanes song

After reading Wendi's comment where she said she didn't understand a word Juanes sang but sure enjoyed his voice, I felt compelled to find translations. Here are two translations I found in my hunt (I had actually copied them over to a document from well over a year ago) and each sort of carry on the same meaning, but it's really hard translating lyrics especially because the Spanish language carries such meaning, such passion! Anyways, here they are.

A Dios le pido
I ask of God

Por los dias que me quedan
For the days that I have left
y las noches que aun no llegan yo
And the night that have yet to arrive
A Dios le pido
Ask of God
Por los hijos de mis hijos y los hijos de tus hijos
For the kids of my kids and the kids of your kids
A Dios le pido
Ask of God
Que mi pueblo no derrame tanta sangre y se levante mi gente
That my people don’t shed so much blood and rise again
A Dios le pido
Ask of God
Que mi alma no descanse cuando de amarte se trate mi cielo
That my soul never rest when it comes to loving you my heaven
A Dios le pido
Ask of God
Un segundo mas de vida para darte y mi corazon entero entregarte
A second more of life to give you and my whole heart deliver to you
Un segundo mas de vida para darte y a tu lado para siempre yo quedarme
A second more of life to give you and by your side for ever be
Un segundo mas de vida yo a Dios le pido
A second more of life to give you I ask of God
Y que si me muero sea de amor
That if I die is because of love
Y si me enamoro sea de vos
That if I fall in love it would be with you
Y que de tu voz sea este corazon todos los dias a Dios le pido
And that of your voice this heart can be, every day I ask of God
