Lyrics & Translation
Because I finally found you
Today I look at you
And I feel a thousand things at once
You can see how much I searched, you can see how much I searched
I have so much to learn
All I have is your gaze
From my memories
Breezes emerge and fly
The crazy things
That you might want to give me
And you can see how much I searched, you can see how much I searched
I have so much to give
I recognize doors that I know
Only open once in a while
So rarely
How long have I been waiting for you?
How long have I been looking?
Your gaze in the sky, you are trembling
I've looked for you in a million dawns
And none of them make me fall in love
As you know and I've realized now
It might seem bold
But it's pure feeling
Please tell me your name, mmh
Na-ah-ah, na
Na-ra, na (Mmh)
I'll take you
To run through the streets
Let's go far
Beyond what you believe
And if I ask well, if I ask badly
I have so much to offer
I open doors that someone closed on me
And I no longer look for meaning in my pain
Look, don't drive me crazy
How long have I been waiting for you?
How long have I been looking?
Your gaze in the sky, it's trembling
I've looked for you in a million dawns
And none of them make me fall in love
As you know and I've realized now
It might seem bold
But it's pure feeling
Please tell me your name; don't drive me crazy
How long have I been waiting for you?
How long have I been looking?
Your gaze in the sky, it's trembling
I've looked for you in a million dawns
And none of them make me fall in love
And, in the end, when I find you
You were alone

Key Grammar Structures
-
Mira si busqué, mira si busqué
➔ Emphatic "si"
➔ The word ""si"" is used here for emphasis, equivalent to "how much" or "how very." It intensifies the verb "busqué" (I searched). In this context, "Mira ""si"" busqué" means "See how much I searched."
-
Las locuras Que tú me quieras regalar
➔ Subjunctive after relative pronoun (desire/hypothetical)
➔ The subjunctive mood ""quieras"" (from "querer," to want) is used here because the relative clause "que tú me ""quieras"" regalar" expresses a hypothetical or desired action—the speaker is referring to "the crazy things that you *might want* to give me" or "that I *wish* you would give me," not a definite fact.
-
Se abren solamente alguna vez
➔ Impersonal/Passive "se"
➔ The ""se"" before the verb ""abren"" (they open) indicates an impersonal or passive construction. It means "doors open themselves" or "are opened," without specifying who performs the action. It implies a general truth or an action whose agent is not important or unknown.
-
Desde cuando te estaré esperando
➔ Future progressive
➔ The future progressive tense ""estaré esperando"" (I will be waiting) is used to express an action that will be in progress at some point in the future. Combined with "Desde cuando" (Since when), it poses a question about the duration of a future action or an action that has been ongoing and will continue.
-
Te he buscado en un millón de auroras
➔ Present perfect
➔ The present perfect tense ""he buscado"" (I have searched/looked for) indicates an action that happened in the past but has a connection to the present (e.g., its effect is still felt, or it happened within an unfinished time period). Here, it emphasizes the long duration and ongoing relevance of the search.
-
y me he dado cuenta ahora
➔ Reflexive verb + present perfect
➔ The phrase ""darse cuenta de"" (to realize) is a reflexive verb. Combined with the present perfect ""he dado,"" it forms ""me he dado cuenta,"" meaning "I have realized." The reflexive pronoun ""me"" refers back to the subject, indicating that the action of realizing is done by and to the speaker.
-
Dime, por favor, tu nombre
➔ Affirmative imperative
➔ The verb ""Dime"" is the affirmative imperative form of "decir" (to tell) combined with the direct object pronoun "me" (me). It is a direct command or request, meaning "Tell me."
-
no me vuelvas loco
➔ Negative imperative
➔ The phrase ""no me vuelvas loco"" uses the negative imperative form ""no vuelvas"" (don't turn/make) combined with the reflexive pronoun "me." It's a command telling someone *not* to do something, specifically, "don't drive me crazy."
-
Más allá de lo que crees
➔ "Lo que" (neutral relative pronoun)
➔ ""Lo que"" functions as a neutral relative pronoun, meaning "what" or "that which." It refers to an abstract concept, an idea, or something unspecified. Here, "Más allá de ""lo que"" crees" means "Beyond what you believe."
-
Estabas sola
➔ Imperfect tense
➔ The imperfect tense ""estabas"" (you were) is used to describe a past state, condition, or ongoing action without a specific beginning or end. Here, it describes a past state of being alone.
