[English]

How to react, how to overcome

That illness that wants to tear you away from me.

I never wanted to see your end come.

And it hurts me to see there’s no other way left

You’re suffering, and I must make a decision

Why?!

I look into your eyes, you want to die

I wouldn’t want to decide.

Look into my eyes, they’re crying for you

I want to have you by my side.

The day has come, I can’t turn back

You lower your eyelids, hiding your dark eyes

You stop breathing, a nightmare come true.

Nooooo!

I look into your eyes, you want to die

I wouldn’t want to decide.

Look into my eyes, they’re crying for you

I want to have you by my side.

I look into your eyes, you want to die

I wouldn’t want to decide.

Look into my eyes, they’re crying for you

I want to have you by my side.

Look into my eyes, I want to die

You can’t stop it

Look into my eyes, I must die

Finally, take this agony away from me

...

[Spanish]

Cómo reaccionar, como superar

Esa enfermedad que te quiere apartar de mi.

Nunca deseeé ver llegar tu final.

Y es que me duele ver que ya no queda otro camino

Estás sufriendo y una desición debo tomar

¡¿Porqué?!

Miro tus ojos, quieres morir

Yo no quisiera decidir.

Mira mis ojos, llorán por ti

Quiero tenerte junto a mi.

El día llegó, no me puedo hechar atrás

Bajas los parádos no dejas ver tus ojos negros

Dejas de respirar, pesadilla hecha realidad.

¡Nooooo!

Miro tus ojos, quieres morir

Yo no quisiera decidir.

Mira mis ojos, llorán por ti

Quiero tenerte junto a mi.

Miro tus ojos, quieres morir

Yo no quisiera decidir.

Mira mis ojos, llorán por ti

Quiero tenerte junto a mi.

Mira mis ojos, quiero morir

Tu no lo puedes evitar

Mira mis ojos, debo morir

Quítame esta agonía al fin

Key Grammar Structures

• Nunca desee ver llegar tu final.

  ➔ Use of the past subjunctive (desear → desee) to express an unreal or emotional situation.

  ➔ The verb 'desear' changes to 'desee' in subjunctive to express an emotional wish, not a real event.

• Estás sufriendo y una decisión debo tomar.

  ➔ Inversion of subject and verb (decisión debo tomar) for emphasis.

  ➔ Normally it would be 'debo tomar una decisión,' but the inversion 'una decisión debo tomar' adds drama or poetic intensity.

• Mira mis ojos, lloran por ti.

  ➔ Use of present indicative for immediacy and emotional realism.

  ➔ The verb 'lloran' (they cry) is used in present tense to make the pain and reaction vivid and current.

• Quiero tenerte junto a mí.

  ➔ Use of infinitive ('tenerte') after a verb of desire ('quiero').

  ➔ Spanish uses the infinitive form after verbs like 'querer' to indicate the action desired.

• No me puedo echar atrás.

  ➔ Use of reflexive pronoun 'me' with modal verb construction ('poder + infinitive').

  ➔ 'Echarse atrás' means 'to back out'. The reflexive pronoun 'me' is necessary to convey this idiomatic meaning.

• Dejas de respirar.

  ➔ Use of 'dejar de + infinitive' to express stopping an action.

  ➔ 'Dejas de respirar' means 'you stop breathing'. The verb 'dejar' indicates cessation of the following action.

• Miro tus ojos, quieres morir.

  ➔ Parallel clauses without conjunctions to emphasize contrast and immediacy.

  ➔ Placing 'Miro tus ojos' and 'quieres morir' side by side creates an emotional tension between perception and intention.

• Quítame esta agonía al fin.

  ➔ Imperative form ('quítame') with object and reflexive pronouns attached.

  ➔ 'Quítame' combines 'quita' (remove) and 'me' (from me), forming a polite emotional plea: 'Take this agony away from me.'
