English term

A change of heart

English to Spanish Art/Literary Music
I’ll go walking in circles
While doubting the very ground beneath me
Trying to show unquestionable faith in everything
Here am I a lifetime away from you
The blood of Christ or a change of heart

un cambio en mi corazón

Caminaré en círculos
mientras cuestiono el mismo suelo tras mis pies
tratando de mostrar mi fe inalterable en todo
Aquí estoy yo, toda una vida nos separa
y de la sangre del Señor o de un cambio en mi corazón

una corazonada [que cambió mi corazón]

Change of heart is a sudden change in decision, in the course of one's life, but it is not an idea or something logical. It is a *heartfelt* thing, one that you cannot resist.

Think Kate Winslet jumping back to the Titanic when she was already in the lifeboat.
Think Darth Vader suddenly grabbing the emperor and casting him down the shaft instead of finishing off Luke Skywalker...

So it *is* a change in the heart, that you can actually feel in the chest, and in this line the word "corazonada" is the strongest.
Usually it is about a hunch - the ominous feeling something is about to happen, "corazonada" also refers to the ominous feeling you are about to change the course of your life, and then you do it a second later.

On the other hand, this is a poem and maybe there is a play on words, the author suggesting that at some point he might change his whole heart and replace it with another, such as the bleeding heart of the aforementioned Jesus for instance...
Example sentence:

"...and after receiving his payment [Han Solo] parts ways with the rebels. However, near the end of the film, <b>he has a change of heart</b>, and returns at a critical moment in the film's climactic battle scene..."

cambio de actitud/conversión

Considerando el contexto, creo que se trata de más que un cambio de idea o de opinión: un cambio de actitud, o incluso una conversión.
