Grammar:

• SI... SABES QUE YA LLEVO UN RATO MIRÁNDOTE

  ➔ Present Perfect Progressive/Continuous

  ➔ The structure "llevo + time + gerund" expresses an action that started in the past and continues to the present. Here, "llevo un rato mirándote" means "I have been looking at you for a while". The present perfect progressive emphasizes the duration of the action.

• TENGO QUE BAILAR CONTIGO HOY

  ➔ Obligation with "Tener que"

  ➔ "Tener que + infinitive" expresses obligation. Here, "Tengo que bailar contigo hoy" means "I have to dance with you today". It indicates a necessity or obligation to perform the action.

• TU... TÚ ERES EL IMÁN Y YO SOY EL METAL

  ➔ Uses of "ser" for description and identity.

  ➔ The verb "ser" is used to express permanent or inherent characteristics. "Tú eres el imán" (You are the magnet) identifies someone as a magnet, a permanent quality in this context. Similarly, "yo soy el metal" (I am the metal) identifies oneself. Both statements use "ser" to describe an essential characteristic.

• ME VOY ACERCANDO Y VOY ARMANDO EL PLAN

  ➔ Present Progressive with "Ir + gerundio"

  ➔ The structure "Ir + gerundio" describes an action in progress. "Me voy acercando" means "I am getting closer" or "I am approaching", and "voy armando el plan" means "I am putting together the plan" or "I am forming the plan". The structure emphasizes the ongoing nature of the actions.

• QUIERO RESPIRAR TU CUELLO DESPACITO

  ➔ Infinitive after "Querer"

  ➔ "Querer + infinitive" expresses desire or wanting to do something. "Quiero respirar tu cuello despacito" means "I want to breathe your neck slowly". It demonstrates the speaker's desire to perform the action.

• PARA QUE TE ACUERDES SI NO ESTÁS CONMIGO

  ➔ Subjunctive with "Para que"

  ➔ "Para que + subjunctive" expresses purpose or intention. Here, "para que te acuerdes" means "so that you remember". The subjunctive is used because the outcome (remembering) is not certain.

• HASTA PROVOCAR TUS GRITOS Y QUE OLVIDES TU APELLIDO

  ➔ Subjunctive after conjunctions of time ("hasta que")

  ➔ "Hasta que" introduces a time clause. When the action in the main clause depends on the completion of the action in the subordinate clause, the subjunctive is used. Here, "hasta provocar tus gritos" means "until I provoke your screams," and "y que olvides tu apellido" means "and that you forget your last name." The forgetting depends on the provoking, so the subjunctive "olvides" is used.
