Lyrics & Translation
For all those loves that
That were forced to be separated
Ba-ba-babylon girl, ba-ba-babylon girl
This song is for you
Tell me, how do I explain to my destiny that you're no longer there?
Tell me, how will I detach myself from this frenzy?
From this madness I feel for you
With this chemistry you create in me
And I can't anymore, girl, I can't anymore, girl
Baby, forgive me, and if I got your hopes up, I didn't mean to
I know that in love, when it's real, it comes back, comes back
But how to forget your skin? And how to forget you, woman?
I can't anymore, girl, I can't anymore, girl
Baby, no (Baby, no)
I refuse to give you a last kiss
So save it (Save it)
So that next time I can give it to you
Doing it (Doing it)
Doing it to you like this, like this, like this
Just the way you like it, baby
Without looking back, without looking for anyone else
I only want to be with you, uh-oh (Uh-oh)
If I don't have you here with me, I don't want to be your friend
Because you are my path, uh-oh
And I only want to be with you
Baby, please, understand it
Just give me your hand and trust in me
If you get lost, just follow my voice
And give it time (time), mami, give it time (Time)
That you, that I, we're made to be together
And give it time, baby, give it time
That you and I, that you and I are made to be together
Baby, no (Baby, no)
I refuse to give you a last kiss
So save it (Save it)
So that next time I can give it to you
Doing it (Doing it)
Doing it to you like this, like this, like this
Just the way you like it, baby
Baby, no
I refuse to give you a last kiss
So save it (Save it)
So that next time I can give it to you
Doing it
Doing it to you like this, like this, like this
Just the way you like it, baby
Like this, like this, like this, the way you like it, baby
Baby, no (Baby, no)
I refuse to give you a last kiss
So save it (Save it)
So that next time I can give it to you
Doing it
Doing it to you like this, like this, like this
Just the way you like it, baby
And baby, no (Baby, no)
I refuse to give you a last kiss
So save it (Save it)
So that next time I can give it to you
Doing it
Doing it to you like this, like this
Just the way you like it, baby

Key Grammar Structures
-
Dime, ¿Cómo le explico a mi destino que ya no estás ahí?
➔ Subjunctive Mood in Subordinate Clauses after expressions of doubt or uncertainty
➔ The phrase "que ya no estés ahí" uses the subjunctive mood because it expresses doubt or uncertainty about explaining the absence to his destiny. The verb "estar" becomes "estés" in the subjunctive.
-
Sé que en el amor, cuando es real, ese vuelve, vuelve
➔ Use of "cuando" + Subjunctive vs. Indicative
➔ Here, "cuando es real" uses the indicative mood because the speaker believes the love is real. If the reality was uncertain, the subjunctive would be used.
-
Me rehúso a darte un último beso
➔ Reflexive Verb + Preposition "a" + Infinitive
➔ "Rehúsarse a" means "to refuse to". The verb "rehusar" is used reflexively with the pronoun "me" and is followed by the preposition "a" and the infinitive "darte".
-
Para que la próxima vez te lo dé
➔ Subjunctive after "para que"
➔ The phrase "para que" (so that) always requires the subjunctive mood. Here, "dé" is the subjunctive form of the verb "dar" (to give).
-
Si te pierdes, solo sigue mi voz
➔ Conditional Sentences Type 1: "Si" + Present Indicative, Future Indicative/Imperative
➔ This is a type 1 conditional sentence, expressing a real possibility. "Si te pierdes" (if you get lost), presents the condition, and "solo sigue mi voz" (just follow my voice) is the imperative form indicating the result.
