Grammar:

  • Suspiraban lo mismo, los dos

    ➔ Imperfect tense for habitual actions in the past.

    ➔ The imperfect tense "suspiraban" indicates that they both used to sigh the same thing repeatedly. It expresses a habitual or ongoing action in the past.

  • No te confundas, no sirve el rencor

    ➔ Imperative mood (negative) with "no + subjunctive" and subject-verb agreement (servir).

    "No te confundas" is a negative imperative advising against confusion. "No sirve el rencor" means resentment doesn't help. "Sirve" agrees with "el rencor".

  • Pones canciones tristes para sentirte mejor

    ➔ Use of the verb "poner" (to put, to play) in the present indicative, and the infinitive "sentirte" with a reflexive pronoun to express feeling something for oneself.

    "Pones" is the present tense of "poner", meaning "you put/play". "Sentirte mejor" means "to feel better" with the reflexive pronoun "te" referring back to the subject.

  • Tal vez, colmaban la necesidad

    ➔ Imperfect tense of "colmar" (to fill, to satisfy) indicating an action that used to happen or was in progress in the past. Use of "Tal vez" indicating possibility.

    "Colmaban" in the imperfect suggests that perhaps they used to fulfill a need. "Tal vez" introduces uncertainty or a possibility.

  • Hasta que un día no dio para más

    ➔ Preterite (perfect simple) tense: "dio". Use of "hasta que" + preterite indicating a completed action marking the end of a period. Use of "dar para más" idiom.

    "Dio" is the preterite of "dar", indicating a completed action in the past. "Hasta que" introduces a time limit until something happened. "No dio para más" means "it couldn't go on any longer".

  • Separarse de la especie por algo superior

    ➔ Infinitive verb "separarse" (to separate oneself) used as a noun, expressing an action in general. Use of preposition "de" to indicate separation from.

    "Separarse" functions as a noun here, referring to the act of separating. "De la especie" indicates separation from the species.

  • Poder decir adiós

    ➔ Infinitive phrase acting as the subject of a sentence. Use of "poder" + infinitive expressing ability or possibility.

    "Poder decir adiós" (to be able to say goodbye) is the subject of the sentence. "Poder" indicates ability.
