Key Grammar Structures
-
De la muerte y los cuernos nadie se salvó
➔ Use of the reflexive pronoun "se" in an impersonal construction.
➔ The phrase "nadie se salvó" means "no one was saved." The pronoun "se" indicates that the action of saving is referred to generally, not specifically to a person. This is similar to saying "one was not saved" or "people were not saved".
-
me enamore y que mal me salió
➔ Use of "que" as an intensifier.
➔ The phrase "que mal me salió" emphasizes how badly things turned out. "Que" acts as an intensifier, similar to "how" in "how badly it turned out".
-
todo lo que hice de nada valió
➔ The use of "valer" to express worth or value, conjugated in the past tense.
➔ "Valió" comes from the verb "valer", which means "to be worth". The sentence indicates that everything the speaker did was ultimately worthless or without impact.
-
fijate vos en que me has convertido
➔ Use of the imperative form "fijate" with the pronoun "vos", and the use of the present perfect "has convertido".
➔ "Fijate" is an informal imperative form of "fijar", meaning "notice" or "look". "Vos" is used instead of "tú" in some Spanish-speaking regions. "Has convertido" is the present perfect, meaning "you have turned [me]".
-
ahora de ninguna puedo enamorarme
➔ Use of "de ninguna" meaning "of none" or "of no one" (feminine).
➔ This indicates that the speaker is now unable to fall in love with any woman.
-
cupido traeme el fernet que me lo armo
➔ Use of imperative "traeme" (bring me), relative pronoun "que" and reflexive verb "armarse" (to prepare for oneself).
➔ The speaker is telling Cupid to bring him the fernet (a type of alcoholic beverage) so he can prepare it for himself.
-
este vaso va para vos, si va para vos
➔ Use of the verb "ir" to express destination or direction, and repetition for emphasis.
➔ "Va para vos" means "goes to you" or "is for you". The repetition emphasizes that the speaker is dedicating the drink to the person they are addressing, likely the one who caused their heartbreak.
