[English]

In me you planted love

And in me, a new hope was born

That's how you managed to give life

Seeing my heart smile

I could never think

That a promise could be forgotten

So many times, desperate

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

...

Love, love, love

I'm here, here, here

Love, love, love

I'm waiting for you, for you, for you...

...

By your side I went through paths

Throwing thorns, the flower was reborn...

And together looking at the streets

We forgot that nothing could change

I could never think

That a promise could be forgotten

So many times, desperate

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

...

Love, love, love

I'm here, here, here

Love, love, love

I'm waiting for you, for you, for you

Love, love, love

I'm here, here, here

Love, love, love

I'm waiting for you, for you, for you...

...

By your side I went through paths

Throwing thorns, the flower was reborn

And together looking at the streets

We forgot that nothing could change

I could never think

That a promise could be forgotten

So many times, desperate

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

Love, love, love

I'm here, here, here

Love, love, love

I'm waiting for you, for you, for you...

Love, love, love

I'm here, here, here

Love, love, love

I'm waiting for you, for you, for you...

...

[Spanish]

En mi tu sembraste amor

Y en mi nació, una nueva ilusión

Así lograste dar la vida

Viendo sonreír a mi corazón

Jamás, podría pensar

Que una promesa se pueda olvidar

Tantas veces, desesperado

Porque no estabas imploré por ti...

Amor, amor, amor

Estoy aqui aqui, aqui

Amor, amor, amor

Espero por ti, por ti, por ti...

A tu lado fui por caminos

Tirando espinas la flor renació...

Y juntos mirando las calles

Olvidamos que nada podría cambiar

Jamás podría pensar

Que una promesa se pueda olvidar

Tantas veces, desesperado

Porque no estabas imploré por ti...

Amor, amor, amor

Estoy aquí, aquí, aquí

Amor, amor, amor

Espero por ti, por ti, por ti

Amor, amor, amor

Estoy aquí, aquí, aquí

Amor, amor, amor

Espero por ti, por ti, por ti...

A tu lado fui por caminos

Tirando espinas la flor renació

Y juntos mirando las calles

Olvidamos que nada podría cambiar

Jamás podría pensar

Que una promesa se pueda olvidar

Tantas veces, desesperado

Porque no estabas, imploré por ti...

Amor, amor, amor

Estoy aquí, aquí aquí

Amor, amor, amor

Espero por ti, por ti, por ti...

Amor, amor, amor

Estoy aquí, aquí, aquí

Amor, amor, amor

Espero por ti, por ti, por ti...

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.
