Spanish term

nos llegan

Spanish to English Art/Literary Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting
La frase dice:

"Sus canciones nos llegan al corazón"

Yo había puesto : "His songs fill our heart" , pero al cliente no le gustó, desea algo que "le llegue al corazón".

Estoy pensando en "His songs touch us on the heart", pero no me gusta, no encuentro otra cosa que poner, ayuda por favor.

Gracias,

Dinorah

@ Dinorah Tienes que decir al cliente que a veces no se puede traducir literalmente de español a inglés. En este caso, 'touch our hearts' es la opción mejor, y correcta!

Note from asker:
Si, sé que es "touch our heart", pero estaba tratando de ser lo más cerca posible del españos, sé que está mal, pero por eso estoy preguntando. Gracias por su comentario.
