[English]

I want to tell you how sorry I am

It still hurts me, the damage I've done to you I want to tell you how sorry I am

If you leave, I know what I'll lose

When the silence devours me at night If you leave, I know what I'll lose

My bad, realizing it when I lose you For not giving you what you deserve

Not showing you how much I loved you My bad, realizing it when I lose you

For not giving you what you deserve Not showing you how much I loved you

I'm jealous of whoever looks at you Even the air you breathe

Even the ground you walk on Because it takes you away from me, that's my downfall

I'm jealous of whoever looks at you Even the air you breathe

Even the ground you walk on Because it takes you away from me, that's my downfall

I wanted freedom

I don't want it if you're not here I'm a prisoner of what you give me

What would be my truth

A lie if you're not here I'll stick with what you give me

What I would give my life to kiss your mouth And get lost in your passions

Today without you, I feel my life has gone crazy And I'm missing the colors

I'm jealous of whoever looks at you Even the air you breathe

Even the ground you walk on Because it takes you away from me, that's my downfall

I'm jealous of whoever looks at you Even the air you breathe

Even the ground you walk on Because it takes you away from me, that's my downfall

I'm jealous...

[Spanish]

Quiero decirte cuánto lo siento

Igual me duele el daño que te he hecho Quiero decirte cuánto lo siento

Si tú te marchas sé lo que pierdo

Cuando en la noche me coma el silencio Si tú te marchas sé lo que pierdo

Mala mía, darse cuenta cuando uno te pierde Al no darte lo que te mereces

No demostrarte cuánto te quería Mala mía, darse cuenta cuando uno te pierde

Al no darte lo que te mereces No demostrarte cuánto te quería

Tengo celos de quien te mira De hasta el aire que respiras

De hasta el suelo por donde caminas Porque te aleja de mí esa es mi ruina

Tengo celos de quien te mira De hasta el aire que respiras

De hasta el suelo por donde caminas Porque te aleja de mí esa es mi ruina

Yo quería libertad

No la quiero si tú no estás Yo soy preso de lo que me das

Qué sería mi verdad

Una mentira si tú no estás Yo me quedo con lo que me das

Lo que daría yo mi vida por besar tu boca Y perderme en tus pasiones

Hoy sin ti mi vida siento que se volvió loca Y me faltan los colores

Tengo celos de quien te mira De hasta el aire que respiras

De hasta el suelo por donde caminas Porque te aleja de mí esa es mi ruina

Tengo celos de quien te mira De hasta el aire que respiras

De hasta el suelo por donde caminas Porque te aleja de mí esa es mi ruina

Tengo celos...

Key Grammar Structures

• Quiero decirte cuánto lo siento

  ➔ Subjunctive mood (Indirect statement)

  ➔ The verb "siento" (I feel) triggers the subjunctive because it expresses emotion/feeling. "Cuánto lo siento" is the embedded statement.

• Igual me duele el daño que te he hecho

  ➔ Present Perfect tense (he hecho)

  ➔ "He hecho" (I have done) connects a past action (doing damage) to the present (it still hurts).

• Si tú te marchas sé lo que pierdo

  ➔ Conditional sentences (type 1 - possible condition)

  ➔ The structure "Si + present indicative, future indicative" indicates a likely or possible condition. "Si "tú te marchas" (if you leave), "sé lo que pierdo" (I will know what I lose).

• Mala mía, darse cuenta cuando uno te pierde

  ➔ Reflexive verb (darse cuenta)

  ➔ "Darse cuenta" (to realize) is a reflexive verb. The reflexive pronoun is implied.

• Al no darte lo que te mereces

  ➔ Preposition "al" + infinitive (expressing reason)

  ➔ "Al no darte" (by not giving you) explains the reason for the regret. "Al + infinitive" means "upon/by doing".

• Tengo celos de quien te mira

  ➔ Relative pronoun "quien" (who)

  ➔ "Quien" refers to a person. Here, it connects "celos" to the person who looks at the subject of the song.

• Yo soy preso de lo que me das

  ➔ Idiomatic expression "ser preso de algo"

  ➔ "Ser preso de algo" (to be a prisoner of something) is an idiomatic expression, meaning to be captivated or controlled by something. Here, it's what the other person gives.

• Lo que daría yo mi vida por besar tu boca

  ➔ Conditional sentences (type 2 - unlikely condition)

  ➔ This is more like a hyperbolic statement, not likely to happen. Using the conditional tense "daría" implies the situation is not real in the present.
