Lyrics & Translation

[English]

God, I am the worst.

It's okay, it's really thoughtful.

No, it's not, I mean-

What's thoughtful is everything you do.

Here, you know what, look at this.

Look here's the-

The plane ticket you bought me when I was too poor to go home for the holidays.

And-

The rose you left on my windshield just because.

Here's the the thank you letter you wrote me after the first time I slept with you.

[Laughs]

All 11 pages of it.

[Laughs]

Can't believe you saved all this stuff.

Of course I did.

It's you.

Come here.

Is that a pregnancy test?

Oh yeah, just the first one.

I didn't save em' all.

[Laughs]

Sheldon this-

This isn't a good time.

I don't care.

Amy, there was a song I couldn't get out of my head.

Eventually, I realized the song was about you.

And like that earworm, I can't get you out of my heart.

So, what I'm trying to say is-

You're my heartworm.

[laughs]

The metaphorical kind.

Not- Not the poodle killing kind.

[laughs]

What?

If I may.

[laughs]

I believe what he's saying in a charming and delightful way is that he loves you and wants you back.

Dave Gibbs, huge fan of your work.

Don't mind me.

[laughs]

I'm- I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were on a date.

No it- it's okay, keep going.

Amy, if you want to be my girlfriend again, I really want to be your boyfriend.

I really want that too.

Good.

Because I love you.

I love you too.

Kiss her, you brilliant fool!

[laughs]

[cheers]

Hi.

Hey listen, since we got, you know, interrupted last night, I didn't have a chance to give you this.

Oh Leonard, you shouldn't have.

Oh boy!

[laughs]

What is it?

[laughs]

It's a snowflake, from the North Pole.

Are you serious?

It'll last forever.

I preserved it in a 1% solution of polyvinyl acetyl resin.

[Laughs]

Oh my God, that's the most romantic thing anyone's ever said to me

that I didn't understand.

[Laughs]

It's actually a pretty simple process.

You see, Cyanoacrylates are monomers which polymerize on-

[Laughs]

There's something else I've been wanting to say.

But before I do, I just-

I want you to know that you don't have to say it back.

I know you're not ready, and I don't want you to say it just because social convention dictates-

I love you too.

[cheers]

You said it.

There's no denying I have feelings for you, that can't be explained in any other way.

I briefly considered that I had a brain parasite.

[laughs]

But that seems even more far fetched.

[laughs]

The only conclusion was love.

I know what's happening.

[laughs]

This is a panic attack.

Soccermom09 says to lie down with your feet elevated.

Okay.

If I didn't have you-

Life would be dreary.

I'd be string theory without any string.

I'd be binary code without a one.

A cathode ray two without an electron gun.

I'd be Firefly, Buffy, and Avengers without Joss Whedon.

I'd speak a lot more Klingon.

[Speaks Klingon]

And he'd definitely still live with his mom.

Ever since I met you, you turned my world around.

You're my best friend and my lover.

We're like changing electric and magnetic fields.

You can't have one-

without the other.

I couldn't have imagined.

How good my life would get.

From the moment that I met you.

Bernadette.

Oh, we couldn't have imagined how good our lives would get.

From the moment that we met you.

Bernadette.

[cheers]

Key Grammar Structures

• The plane ticket you bought me when I was too poor to go home for the holidays.

  ➔ Relative Clause (Reduced Object)

  ➔ The relative pronoun 'that' or 'which' is omitted after 'ticket'. It describes the ticket you bought.

• I couldn't have imagined how good my life would get.

  ➔ Modal Perfect (couldn't have + past participle)

  ➔ Used to speculate about a past situation. 'Couldn't have imagined' refers to something impossible to foresee in the past.

• I didn't realize you were on a date.

  ➔ Since the main verb 'did' is past, 'are' changes to 'were' in the subordinate clause.

• I don't want you to say it just because social convention dictates.

  ➔ Infinitive Clause (Want + Object + To-infinitive)

  ➔ We use 'want' followed by an object and 'to' + base verb to express a desire for someone else's action.

• You're my heartworm.

  ➔ Metaphor

  ➔ A figure of speech where a word is applied to something it's not literally, comparing the persistent nature of an earworm to love.

  ➔ Second Conditional

  ➔ Used for hypothetical situations in the present. 'If + past simple, ... would + verb'.

• You can't have one without the other.

  ➔ Modal of Possibility/Ability (Can't)

  ➔ 'Can't' here denotes logical impossibility or prohibition based on the nature of the subjects.

• The plane ticket you bought me when I was too poor.

  ➔ Adverb of Degree (Too + Adjective)

  ➔ 'Too' means 'excessively'. It is used here to emphasize the degree of being poor.
