Hi, cigalechou.

I'll put the lines that don't sound quite right to me in English in bold, and I'll offer alternatives that do.

I hope this will help you as you write lyrics in English!

* * *

You took a part of my heart :

Chorus: You took a part of my heart
Before going somewhere.
Perhaps near from there,
But so far from me…
We were so different,
But so same too… [But so much the same, too; but so similar, too]
I don’t know where you are…
We were so happy together!

Verse 1: You were my ideal
But probably I wasn’t yours.
For me you were perfect,
The only one I could love…
Maybe did you forget me? [Maybe you forgot me? Did you forget me? Have you forgotten me?]

Chorus: You took a part of my heart
Before going somewhere.
Perhaps near from there,
But so far from me…
We were so different,
But so same too… [But so much the same, too; but so similar, too]
I don’t know where you are…
We were so happy together!

Verse 2: Everybody said
We weren’t made
For each other.
But you were all for me; [But you meant everything to me; but you seemed made for me]
Perhaps for you was I nothing, [Perhaps to you I was nothing]
Or maybe took I a place? [I'm not sure how best to say, "Or maybe I took a place in your heart?" or "Maybe you cared for me a little?"]

Chorus: You took a part of my heart
Before going somewhere.
Perhaps near from there,
But so far from me…
We were so different,
But so same too… [But so much the same, too; but so similar, too]
I don’t know where you are…
We were so happy together!

Verse 3: Now I didn’t forget,
But I’ll never regret
All this moments [All these moments]
Spent on your side. [Spent by your side.]
I’m just going to forward [I'm just going to go or look forward]
And never look back much…

Chorus: You took a part of my heart
Before going somewhere.
Perhaps near from there,
But so far from me…
We were so different,
But so same too… [But so much the same, too; but so similar, too]
I don’t know where you are…
We were so happy together !

Chorus: You took a part of my heart
Before going somewhere.
Perhaps near from there,
But so far from me…
We were so different,
But so same too…[But so much the same, too; but so similar, too]
I don’t know where you are…
We were so happy together!
