Grammar:

  • La soledad se hace carne en mí

    ➔ Reflexive Verb with 'se' indicating a change/process/state.

    ➔ The verb is "hacerse". "Se hace carne" means loneliness is becoming flesh, is becoming real, is embodying itself. The "se" indicates that the loneliness is acting *upon* itself, or transforming into something within the speaker.

  • Y la noche parece un desierto

    ➔ Verb 'parecer' (to seem/appear) + Noun Phrase

    "Parecer" in this context means 'to seem' or 'to appear'. The night *seems* like a desert. It expresses a subjective impression.

  • Pero, llegas tú con tu inmensa luz

    ➔ Emphasis with pronoun placement (Tú)

    ➔ Normally, the verb conjugation already indicates the subject. Using "tú" after the verb "llegas" emphasizes the 'you'. It's not just anyone arriving, but *you* specifically.

  • Y te declaras dueña de mis sueños

    ➔ Reflexive verb 'declararse' (to declare oneself) + possessive adjective 'mis'

    "Declararse dueña" means 'to declare yourself the owner'. The reflexive verb "declararse" shows that the subject is performing the action on themselves. "Mis sueños" - my dreams - a clear possessive.

  • El tiempo viste un color azul

    ➔ Metaphor; Personification of Time.

    ➔ Time cannot literally wear a color. This is a figurative expression where time is given the human characteristic of wearing something, implying a change or a different mood associated with the color blue.

  • Parecido a un suspiro del cielo

    ➔ Adjective + 'a' + noun (Comparison using 'a')

    ➔ The phrase "Parecido a un suspiro" translates to "Similar to a sigh". 'A' is being used to make a comparison between the color azul and the sigh of the sky.

  • Vas a entrar sin pedirme la llave

    ➔ Future periphrasis (ir + a + infinitive) indicating a future action

    "Vas a entrar" means "You are going to enter". It's the near future tense, using the verb "ir" (to go) + "a" + infinitive verb "entrar" (to enter). "Sin pedirme la llave" - without asking me for the key.

  • La distancia y el tiempo no saben La falta que le haces a mi corazón

    ➔ Indirect Object Pronoun 'le' + Subjunctive 'haces' implying strong feelings or influence

    "La falta que le haces a mi corazón" - The emptiness that you cause to my heart. "Le" refers to "mi corazón". "Haces" although indicative is implying influence, almost to the point of becoming subjunctive (lack of knowledge). The sentence structure is complex, emphasizing the impact of the missing person on the speaker's heart.
