[English]

Sad mortal

Only his servant

Crazy in love

It’s his love

What I long for

My beautiful flower

I pray to God

...

Give me the courage

Because without her I am nothing and have nothing

Today I searched for you

And I found you

In my dreams

I am a thief

Because I intend to steal you

My beautiful flower

I pray to God

...

Give me the courage

I only want to steal one kiss

And if with one kiss I seal my end

I don’t care

Maybe that kiss is meant for me

The reason of my life

...

If with one kiss I seal my end

I don’t care

Maybe that kiss is meant for me

The reason of my life

And if with one kiss I seal my end

I don’t care

Maybe that kiss is meant for me

The reason of my life

...

The reason of my life

...

The reason of my life

...

[Spanish]

Triste mortal

Solamente su siervo

Loco de amor

Es su amor

Lo que anhelo

Mi bella flor

Ruego a Dios

Dame el valor

Pues sin ella nada soy ni tengo

Hoy te busqué

Y te hallé

En mis sueños

Soy un ladrón

Pues robarte pretendo

Mi bella flor

Ruego a Dios

Dame el valor

Solamente quiero robarle un beso

Y si con un beso sello mi fin

Me da igual

Puede ser que ese beso es para mí

La razón de mi vida

Si con un beso sello mi fin

Me da igual

Puede ser que ese beso es para mí

La razón de mi vida

Y si con un beso sello mi fin

Me da igual

Puede ser que ese beso es para mí

La razón de mi vida

La razón de mi vida

La razón de mi vida

Key Grammar Structures

• Triste mortal

  ➔ Ellipsis / Omission of verb

  ➔ The sentence omits a verb like 'is' (e.g., 'He is a sad mortal'), giving a poetic and dramatic tone.

• Es su amor lo que anhelo

  ➔ Relative clause with emphatic structure (cleft sentence)

  ➔ The phrase 'lo que anhelo' ('what I long for') is a relative clause emphasizing that 'his love' is the focus.

• Ruego a Dios

  ➔ Use of 'a' with indirect object (personal 'a')

  ➔ The verb 'rogar' (to pray or beg) requires 'a' before a person (Dios), marking it as an indirect object.

• Dame el valor

  ➔ Imperative with pronoun attachment

  ➔ 'Da' (give) attaches the pronoun 'me' → 'dame' (give me), forming a single word typical in commands.

• Pues sin ella nada soy ni tengo

  ➔ Double negation with coordination

  ➔ ‘Nada soy ni tengo’ uses two negatives ('nothing' + 'nor') for emphasis, meaning 'I am and have nothing.'

• Hoy te busqué y te hallé

  ➔ Preterite tense for completed actions

  ➔ Verbs 'busqué' and 'hallé' (sought and found) show completed actions in the past, both done in one moment.

• Soy un ladrón

  ➔ Use of 'ser' for permanent identity

  ➔ ‘Ser’ is used because being 'a thief' is seen as part of identity, not a temporary state.

• Puede ser que ese beso es para mí

  ➔ Subjunctive trigger with ‘puede ser que’

  ➔ Normally, 'puede ser que' should be followed by subjunctive ('sea'), but 'es' appears here for poetic emphasis.
