I'm a slave for you in Latin: Sum Servus tibi

Alright here we go again. I'm going to set this up the same as my last translation with the parallel text and followed by a more litteral rendering and translational notes. So wtithout further ado "Hanc Rem Faciamus" or "Let's do this thing". Oh and here's a link to some online Latin dictionaries at foreignword.com.

I'm a Slave for you:
Sum servus tibi:

I know I may be young, but I've got feelings too
Scio me esse iuvenum sed sensus habeo etiam
And I need to do what I feel like doing
Et agenda sum quid agere desidero
So let me go and just listen
Ita eam et sole audi

All you people look at me like I'm a little girl
Omnes Populus me spectarent quasi puella parva esset
Well did you ever think it'd be ok for me to step into this world?
Putavistine umquam id futurum esse acceptum Si in hunc mundum ambulavi?
Always saying, "Little girl, don't step into the club"
Semper dicis,"Parva puella, noli ambulare in sodalitatem"
Well I'm just trying to find out why, 'cause dancing's what I love, yeah
Sole Conor invenire cur, quod saltare est quid amo, sic
Get it, Get it, Get it, Get it
Id cape, Id cape
Get it, Get it, Get it, Get it
Id cape, Id cape
Get it, Get it, Get it, Get it
Id cape, Id cape
I know I may come off quiet
Scio me videri quieta
I may come off shy
me videri timida
But I feel like talkin', feel like dancin' when I see this guy
Sed Desidero loqui et saltare ubi hunc virem video
What's practical, what's logical, what the hell, who cares
Quid est habilis, quid est rationalis, quid is tartarus, quis curat
All I know is I'm so happy when you're dancing there
Sole scio me esse felicior ubi saltas ibi

[Chorus:]

I'm a slave for you
Sum servus tibi
I cannot hold it, I cannot control it
Id habere non possum, Ei imperare non possum
I'm a slave for you
Sum servus tibi
I won't deny it, I'm not trying to hide it
Id non negabit, Id celare non conor

Baby, don't you wanna dance up on me
Infans, nonne desideras saltare in me
To another time and place
Ad alium temporem locumque
Oh, baby, don't you wanna dance up on me
O, infans, nonne desideras saltare in me
Leaving behind my name and age
Relinquentem meum nomen aetatemque
Like that. You like that?
Amasne illud? Amasne tu illud?
Yeah. Now watch me
Sic. Nunc specta me
Get it, get it, get it, get it
Id cape, id cape
Get it, get it, get it, get it
Id cape, id cape
Get it, get it, get it, get it
Id cape, id cape
I really wanna dance tonight with you
Vere desidero hac nocte saltare tecum
I really wanna do what you want me to
Vere desidero facere quid me facere desideras
I really wanna dance tonight with you
Vere desidero hac nocte saltare tecum
I really wanna do what you want me to
Vere desidero facere quid me facere desideras
Baby, don't you wanna dance up on me
Infans, nonne desideras saltare in me
Leaving behind my name and age
Relinquentem meum nomen aetatemque

[Repeat Chorus:]

Get it, get it, get it, get it
Id capi, id capi
Get it, get it, get it, get it
Id capi, id capi
Get it, get it, get it, get it
Id capi, id capi
Get it, get it, get it, get it
Id capi, id capi
Get it, get it, get it, get it
Id capi, id capi
Get it, get it, get it, get it
Id capi, id capi

[Repeat Chorus:]

Ok here's the more literal rendering with translation notes(some repeated parts will just be mentioned instead of written again)

I know that I am young but I have feelings also(using "may" would involve some weird sunjunctive thing I'm not quite sure how to do
and I must do what I want to do
So let me go and only hear

All people look at me as if I were a little girl
Have you thought(like in Oops I did it again another untranslated well) that it would be agreable if I walked(couldn't find Latin for step) onto this world?
Always you are saying,"Little girl, don't walk into the club"
I am only trying to find why, because to dance(gerunds can't be subject in Latin) is what I love, thus
Capture it, Capture it(I only repeated it twice to go along better with the beat and timing of the song)
( capture it, capture it repeated twice more)
I know that I seem quiet
that I seem shy
but I want to speak I want to dance when I see this man
what is suiatable, what is rational(? I left my Latin dictionary at home and the online one does't have it, but this is pretty close if not totally accurate), what the hell, who cares
I only know that I am rather happy when you are dancing there
Chorus:
I am a slave for(or to) you
I am not able to hold it, I am not able to command it(impero takes dative that's why it's ei instead of id)
I am a slave for(or to) you
I will not deny it, I am not trying to hide it

Baby, Don't you desire to dance on me
to another time and place
O baby Don't you desire to dance on me
leaving behind my name and age
thus. Now look at me
("capture it, capture it" part repeated thrice)
Truly I desire to dance to dance this night with you
Truly I desire to do what you want me to do
(Repeat both truly statements in above order)
Baby do you desire to dance on me
leaving behind my name and age
(Repeat "capture it, capture it part six times)

[Repeat Chorus:]
