[English]

You from eleven eleven but me from ten

That I don’t want to see you

You from eleven eleven but me from ten

That I don’t want to see you

Go with the idea that it was you

But really it was me

The one who did everything for you to go

Go with the idea that it was you

But really it was me

The one who did everything for you to go

You from eleven eleven but me from ten

That I don’t want to see you

You from eleven eleven but me from ten

That I don’t want to see you

...

Key Grammar Structures

• Tu desde las once y once pero yo desde las 10

  ➔ Contrast using 'pero' (but).

  ➔ The word 'pero' introduces contrast between two phrases: 'Tu desde las once y once' and 'yo desde las 10', emphasizing a difference in timing or perspective.

• Que no te quiero ver

  ➔ Subordinate clause with 'que' + negative structure.

  ➔ The phrase 'Que no te quiero ver' uses 'que' to introduce a dependent clause expressing emotion or intention in the negative form.

• Vete con la idea de que fuiste tú

  ➔ Imperative 'vete' (reflexive verb).

  ➔ The reflexive verb 'irse' (to leave) changes to 'vete' in command form, telling someone to go away.

• Pero en verdad fui yo

  ➔ Preterite tense 'fui' (past of 'ser').

• La que hizo to' pa' que te fueras

  ➔ Relative clause with 'que'.

  ➔ 'La que hizo...' introduces a relative clause identifying 'the one who did everything'. The 'que' connects this description to the subject.

• Pa' que te fueras

  ➔ Purpose clause using 'para que' + subjunctive.

  ➔ The shortened 'pa’' comes from 'para', forming 'para que te fueras' meaning 'so that you would leave'. The verb 'fueras' is subjunctive past.

• Vete con la idea de que fuiste tú

  ➔ Preterite 'fuiste' (past of 'ser') with emphasis on agency.

  ➔ The word 'fuiste' (you were) underscores blaming or agency — 'It was you', contrasting with 'fui yo'.
