When the sun is hot

Here on the beach

I feel your body vibrate

Close to me

It's your heartbeat

It's your face

It's your hair

They're your kisses

I shiver

Oh, uh-oh!

When the sun is hot

Here on the beach

I feel your body vibrate

Your memory (your memory)

My madness (my madness)

My delirium (my delirium)

Key Grammar Structures

• Cuando calienta el sol

  ➔ Use of 'cuando' + present tense to express habitual or general truth.

  ➔ The word 'cuando' means 'when', and 'calienta' (heats up) stays in present tense, showing what happens whenever the sun shines.

• Aquí en la playa

  ➔ Use of 'aquí' as an adverb of place.

  ➔ 'Aquí' means 'here', used to indicate the speaker's location, in this case 'on the beach'.

• Siento tu cuerpo vibrar

  ➔ Construction with 'sentir' + infinitive verb.

  ➔ 'Sentir' followed by an infinitive means perceiving an action happening; 'siento vibrar' = 'I feel (it) vibrate'.

• Cerca de mí

  ➔ Use of preposition 'de' with prepositional pronoun.

  ➔ 'Mí' is a stressed pronoun used after prepositions like 'de' to mean 'of me' or 'near me'.

• Es tu palpitar

  ➔ Use of copulative verb 'ser' for identification.

  ➔ The verb 'es' links the subject (it) with the attribute 'tu palpitar', describing what 'it' is.

• Son tus besos

  ➔ Plural agreement with 'ser' ('son' for plural).

  ➔ The verb 'son' agrees with the plural noun 'besos' (kisses).

• Tu recuerdo

  ➔ Use of possessive adjective before a noun.

  ➔ 'Tu' means 'your', modifying 'recuerdo' (memory) to indicate possession.

• Mi locura

  ➔ Possessive adjective agreement by number and gender.

  ➔ 'Mi' agrees with the singular feminine noun 'locura' (madness).

• Me estremezco

  ➔ Reflexive verb form with pronoun 'me'.

  ➔ 'Me' marks that the subject and object are the same; 'me estremezco' = 'I shiver (myself)'.
