-
Wenn einer auf 'ner Parkbank schläft, Dann nur weil sich ein Mädchen an seinen Arm anlehnt
➔ Conditional clause with "wenn" and "dann"
➔ "Wenn" introduces a conditional clause (if). "Dann" (then) indicates the consequence. The structure emphasizes the relationship between the condition and the result.
-
Heut' Nacht denken wir uns Namen für Sterne aus
➔ Separable verb "ausdenken"

Bitte Herr vergib ihnen nicht, denn sie wissen was sie tun.
➔ Imperative form "vergib" and causal conjunction "denn"
➔ "Vergib" is the imperative form of "vergeben" (to forgive), used here as a strong request or plea. "Denn" (because) introduces the reason for the request.
-
Wenn ich mit Rap, dann mit der Pumpgun
➔ Ellipsis and Instrumental Case
➔ There's an ellipsis, missing the verb "mache" or "rappe." "Mit der Pumpgun" can be interpreted instrumentally, suggesting the pumpgun is the *means* by which the rapping is done, although this is metaphorical and provocative. Pumpgun is dative after the preposition 'mit'.
