Me Enamora

• By: Juanes

Lyrics:

[Español]

[English]

Cada blanco de mi mente

Every blank space in my mind

Se vuelve color con verte

Turns to color when I see you

Y el deseo de tenerte

And the desire to have you

Es más fuerte, es más fuerte

Is stronger, is stronger

Solo quiero que me lleves

I just want you to take me

De tu mano por la senda

By the hand, along the path

Y atravesar el bosque

And cross the forest

Que divide nuestras vidas

That divides our lives

Hay tantas cosas que me gustan hoy de ti

There are so many things I like about you today

Me enamora que me hables con tu boca

I love the way you speak to me with your mouth

Me enamora que me eleves hasta el cielo

I love the way you lift me to the sky

Me enamora que de mí sea tu alma soñadora

I love that your dreamy soul is thinking of me

Esperanza de mis ojos

Hope of my eyes

Sin ti, mi vida no tiene sentido

Without you, my life has no meaning

Sin ti, mi vida es como un remolino

Without you, my life is like a whirlwind

De cenizas que se van, oh

Of ashes that drift away, oh

Volando con el viento

Flying with the wind

...

...

Yo no sé si te merezco

I don't know if I deserve you

Solo sé que aún deseo

I only know that I still wish

Que le des luz a mi vida

That you give light to my life

En los días venideros

In the days to come

Léeme muy bien los labios

Read my lips carefully

Te lo digo bien despacio

I'm telling you very slowly

Por el resto de mis días

For the rest of my days

Quiero ser tu compañía

I want to be your company

Hay tantas cosas que me gustan hoy de ti

There are so many things I like about you today

Me enamora que me hables con tu boca

I love the way you speak to me with your mouth

Me enamora que me eleves hasta el cielo

I love the way you lift me to the sky

Me enamora que de mí sea tu alma soñadora

I love that your dreamy soul is thinking of me

Esperanza de mis ojos

Hope of my eyes

Sin ti, mi vida no tiene sentido

Without you, my life has no meaning

Sin ti, mi vida es como un remolino

Without you, my life is like a whirlwind

De cenizas que se van, oh

Of ashes that drift away, oh

Me enamora que me hables con tu boca

I love the way you speak to me with your mouth

Me enamora que me eleves hasta el cielo

I love the way you lift me to the sky

Me enamora que de mí sea tu alma soñadora

I love that your dreamy soul is thinking of me

Esperanza de mis ojos

Hope of my eyes

Sin ti, mi vida no tiene sentido

Without you, my life has no meaning

Sin ti, mi vida es como un remolino

Without you, my life is like a whirlwind

De cenizas que se van, oh

Of ashes that drift away, oh

Volando con el viento

Flying with the wind

...

Grammar:

• Cada blanco de mi mente / Se vuelve color con verte

  ➔ Reflexive verb usage ('volverse') and the use of 'con' + infinitive to express 'by' or 'upon' seeing.

  ➔ Here, "volverse" means 'to become'. "Con verte" translates to 'by seeing you' or 'upon seeing you', indicating the cause of the transformation. "Cada blanco de mi mente" refers to every blank space in his mind.

• Solo quiero que me lleves / De tu mano por la senda

  ➔ Use of 'querer que' followed by the subjunctive ('lleves').

  ➔ "Querer que" always requires the subjunctive in the subordinate clause. This sentence expresses a desire or wish.

• Hay tantas cosas que me gustan hoy de ti

  ➔ Use of 'hay' (impersonal 'there is/are') and the relative pronoun 'que' defining 'tantas cosas'.

  ➔ 'Hay' is the impersonal form of 'haber' and indicates existence. 'Que me gustan hoy de ti' is a relative clause defining the 'tantas cosas'.

• Me enamora que me hables con tu boca

  ➔ Use of 'enamorar' with 'que' followed by the subjunctive ('hables').

  ➔ 'Enamorar que' triggers the subjunctive mood because it expresses an emotion or subjective feeling. The phrase indicates what makes the speaker fall in love.

• Sin ti, mi vida no tiene sentido

  ➔ Conditional sentence structure using 'sin' + noun.

  ➔ "Sin ti" functions as a conditional clause meaning 'without you'. It implies a condition under which the subsequent statement is true.

• Yo no sé si te merezco

  ➔ Use of 'si' to introduce an indirect question, indicating doubt.

  ➔ Here, 'si' doesn't mean 'if', but introduces an embedded question, translating to 'whether'. The sentence expresses uncertainty about deserving the other person.

• Sin ti, mi vida es como un remolino / De cenizas que se van, oh

  ➔ Use of 'como' to make a comparison and relative clause 'que se van'.

  ➔ "Como" establishes a simile, comparing life without the person to a whirlwind of ashes. "Que se van" describes the ashes leaving, being blown away.
