En mi tu sembraste amor

In me you planted love

Y en mi nació, una nueva ilusión

And in me, a new hope was born

Así lograste dar la vida

That's how you managed to give life

Viendo sonreír a mi corazón

Seeing my heart smile

Jamás, podría pensar

I could never think

Que una promesa se pueda olvidar

That a promise could be forgotten

Tantas veces, desesperado

So many times, desperate

Porque no estabas imploré por ti...

Because you weren't there, I begged for you...

A tu lado fui por caminos

Key Grammar Structures

• En mi tu sembraste amor

  ➔ Word order variation for emphasis (Object-Verb-Subject)

  ➔ The typical word order is 'Tu sembraste amor en mi'. Moving 'En mi' to the beginning emphasizes where the love was planted.

• Así lograste dar la vida

  ➔ Use of "así" as an adverb of manner.

  ➔ "Así" indicates *how* you managed to give life. It means 'in this way' or 'like this'.

• Jamás, podría pensar que una promesa se pueda olvidar

  ➔ Use of "jamás" (never) and the subjunctive mood ("se pueda olvidar") after "que" expressing doubt or uncertainty.

  ➔ The phrase 'que una promesa se pueda olvidar' is in the subjunctive because the speaker is expressing disbelief or doubt that a promise *can* be forgotten.

• Tantas veces, desesperado Porque no estabas imploré por ti...

  ➔ Past simple "imploré" (I implored) expressing a completed action in the past. Also, the use of 'porque' (because) to explain the reason for the desperation.

  ➔ The sentence directly states a past action ('I implored'). 'Porque no estabas' clarifies the reason why the speaker was desperate and then implored.

• A tu lado fui por caminos Tirando espinas la flor renació...

  ➔ Gerund "Tirando" expressing an action happening simultaneously with the main verb 'fui' (I went). It indicates *how* he walked the paths: throwing thorns.

  ➔ "Tirando espinas" acts as an adverbial phrase modifying 'fui'. It describes the manner in which he travelled the paths.
