Desde el día en que te vi Sentí como que

Since the day I saw you—felt like I already knew you—

ya te conocía un minuto fue suficiente

One minute was enough, I felt like I loved you already

y ya sentía quererte

And I already started to love you

Me encanta que seas tan ocurrente de repente dices cosas

I love how quick-witted you are—you suddenly say things

Que me vuelan la mente, simplemente

That blow my mind, simply

Pero siempre estás presente

But you're always here

Aunque no pueda verte

Even if I can't see you

De locura casi estamos igual

It's almost crazy how we're the same

De un día a otro me volví tu mega fan

One day I turned into your biggest fan

Y ya eres mi persona favorita

And you're already my favorite person

Cada minuto a tu lado es genial

Every minute by your side is amazing

Y no hay nada en el mundo mundial

And there's nothing in this whole world

Que ame más que estar contigo

That I love more than being with you

Cada momento lo haces especial

You make every moment special

Tú eres mi persona favorita

You are my favorite person

Y aunque no siempre lo ando diciendo

And even if I don't always say it—

Es buen momento de decirte que te quiero

Now's a good time to tell you I love you

Te quiero, te quiero y siempre así será

I love you, I love you—and that's how it will always be

Creo que por más que pase y pase el tiempo

I believe that no matter how much time passes—

Aunque llueva o truene nunca pasará lo nuestro

Whether it rains or storms—our love will never fade

Al menos eso siento

At least that's how I feel

De locura casi estamos igual

It's almost crazy how we're the same

De un día a otro me volví tu mega fan

One day I turned into your biggest fan

Y ya eres mi persona favorita

And you're already my favorite person

Cada minuto a tu lado es genial

Every minute by your side is fantastic

Y no hay nada en el mundo mundial

And there's nothing in this whole world

Que ame más que estar contigo

That I love more than being with you

Es buen momento decirte que te quiero

Now's a good time to tell you I love you

De decirte que te quiero

To tell you I love you

Apareciste justamente

You appeared just when—I was ready to love you

Cuando ya estaba listo para quererte

And how lucky I am to have found you

Y qué suerte cómo te fui a encontrar

Now you're my favorite person,

Ya eres mi persona favorita

Every minute with you is great,

Cada minuto a tu lado es genial

And there's nothing in this whole world

Y no hay nada en el mundo mundial

Key Grammar Structures

• Desde el día en que te vi Sentí como que ya te conocía

  ➔ Subjunctive Mood (Past)

  ➔ The use of "como que" + the past tense implies a feeling or impression. While not strictly the subjunctive in form, it expresses a sense of unreality or subjectivity, a feeling *as if* they already knew each other. "Sentí como que" indicates a feeling rather than a concrete fact.

• Me encanta que seas tan ocurrente

  ➔ Subjunctive Mood after expressions of emotion/opinion

  ➔ The verb "encantar" (to love) expresses emotion, and it requires the subjunctive mood in the subordinate clause introduced by "que." "seas" is the subjunctive form of "ser."

• Aunque no pueda verte

  ➔ Subjunctive after "Aunque" (concession with doubt)

  ➔ When "aunque" (although) introduces a clause expressing a hypothetical or uncertain situation, the subjunctive mood is used. "pueda" is the subjunctive form of "poder."

• Y aunque no siempre lo ando diciendo, Es buen momento de decirte que te quiero

  ➔ Progressive Form with "andar"

  ➔ "Andar" + gerund (diciendo) expresses an action in progress or something one does habitually. Here, it emphasizes that the speaker doesn't *always* go around saying it.

• Creo que por más que pase y pase el tiempo, aunque llueva o truene nunca pasará lo nuestro

  ➔ Subjunctive with uncertain or hypothetical situations introduced by "aunque"

  ➔ Although the verb is omitted after "aunque", the intention is to use a subjunctive verb in a hypothetical situation. "llueva" and "truene" are subjunctive forms. The implicit form would be 'aunque llueva o truene', although it rains or thunders.

• Apareciste justamente Cuando ya estaba listo para quererte

  ➔ Past continuous (estaba listo)

  ➔ The use of 'estaba listo' describes a state of being in the past, signifying that the speaker was in the process of getting ready. It wasn't an instantaneous action but rather a state of preparation.
