[English]

We gave each other all that was given to us

We gave each other all that and much more

To later recognize each other, again

...

And we give each other all that is given to us

We give each other all that and much more

Waking up hanging from your lips

...

You shine and shine so beautifully

And we shine together between eyelashes

Divine, divine smile

Moon embrace, of a full moon

Ah ah ah

Ah ah ah

Ah ah ah

Ah ah ah

Ahh ah

...

We gave each other all that was given to us

We gave each other all that and much more

To later recognize each other, again

You shine and shine so beautifully

And we shine together between eyelashes

Divine, divine smile

Moon embrace, of a full moon

And like this, the two of us together

And like this, what was given to us

And like this, the two of us together

And like this, what is given to us

Ah ah ah

Ah ah ah

Nos dimos todo lo que se nos dio

Nos dimos todo eso y mucho más

Para después reconocernos, otra vez

Y nos damos todo lo que se nos da

Nos damos todo eso y mucho más

Amanecer colgado de tu labios

Brillas y brillas tan lindo

Y brillamos juntos entre pestañas

Divina, divina sonrisa

Abrazo de luna, de luna llena

Y así, juntitos los dos

Y así, lo que se nos dio

Key Grammar Structures

• Nos dimos todo lo que se nos dio

  ➔ Preterite tense of reflexive verb 'dar' (to give/offer), Relative pronoun 'lo que'

  ➔ Refers to giving each other everything that was given to them. "Nos dimos" is the reflexive use of 'dar'. "lo que se nos dio" refers to what was destined or available for them at the time. The preterite indicates a completed action in the past.

• Amanecer colgado de tus labios

  ➔ Infinitive phrase ('Amanecer' - to dawn) used as a noun/abstract concept, Preposition 'de' indicating location (figurative)

  ➔ "To wake up hanging from your lips." 'Amanecer' is used figuratively to describe the feeling or experience of waking up. 'Colgado de' means hanging from, suggesting a strong attachment or connection to the other person's lips.

• Brillas y brillas tan lindo

  ➔ Present tense of 'brillar' (to shine), Intensifier 'tan' + adjective 'lindo' (so beautiful)

  ➔ "You shine and shine so beautifully." Simple present tense emphasizes the continuing or habitual action of shining. 'Tan lindo' amplifies the beauty.

• Abrazo de luna, de luna llena

  ➔ Noun phrase with preposition 'de' (of), repetition for emphasis ('luna, de luna llena' - moon, of full moon)

  ➔ "Hug of the moon, of the full moon." Uses a metaphor to compare the hug to the moon, specifically a full moon, emphasizing its completeness, warmth, and beauty. The repetition adds to the intensity of the imagery.

  ➔ Adverb of manner ('así'), diminutive suffix ('-ito' on 'junto', indicating closeness/affection), definite articles ('los dos')

  ➔ "And like this, together, the two of us." 'Así' indicates the manner or way things are. 'Juntitos' emphasizes how close they are, and 'los dos' specifies that it is the two of them.
