Can someone translate this for me into English? I hear it in many bachata songs, but when I try to translate literally it doesn't seem to make sense... You left of you that I will love....?

You have to keep in mind Spanish allows for much more flexibility when forming phrases as compared to English. Therefore, as you get a stronger command you will see the possible sentence variations without necessarily changing the meaning. It just depends on the speaker and in this case because it's a song, one can be very flexible with the lyrics for stylistic purposes.
The prepositional phrase 'de ti' is probably what through you off. Often it helps to rephrase the sentence. For example, I am sure it would have been easier for you if it were:
Dejaste que me enamorara de ti- 'de ti' at the end of the phrase would have made the meaning clearer.
-You will be able to play with the language more if you become more fluent.
This song is by Frank Reyes and the title is T? eres ajena, which was (still is) a big hit for this artist.
Drcaycu gave the translation but you may of understood it easier with the example of changing the phrase.

Lyrics to Tu eres ajena from some website:
Al conocernos me prometiste
darme tu amor para toda la vida
pero muy tarde me he dado cuenta
que me enganabas, que me hablabas mentiras
dejaste que de ti me enamorara
que me acostumbrara solamente a tu carino
y ahora estoy pagando mi condena
tu no debiste estar conmigo siendo ajena
no ves cuanto me hiere tu traicion
yo que sonaba con hacerte solo mia
con tu error me lastimaste el corazon
si lo enganaste a el
a mi lo mismo me harias
que lastima me da
aun corre por mis venas
la llama de pasion que me dejaste
pero tu eres ajena
ay que lastima me da
aun corre por mis venas
la llama de pasion que me dejaste
pero tu eres ajena
dejaste que de ti me enamorara
que me acostumbrara solamente a tu carino
y ahora estoy pagando mi condena
tu no debiste estar conmigo siendo ajena
no ves cuanto me hiere tu traicion
yo que sonaba con hacerte solo mia
con tu error me lastimaste el corazon
si lo enganaste a el
a mi lo mismo me harias
ay que lastima me da
aun corre por mis venas
la llama de pasion que me dejaste
pero tu eres ajena
ay que lastima me da
aun corre por mis venas
la llama de tracion que me dejaste
pero tu eres ajena
ajena, ajena , ajena
