No Dejes Que...-Caifanes

Written by：Saúl Hernández

When I look through the glass

I see through time

Where senses dislocate

Where fears evaporate

And I take the chance to unfold

To escape the glass

In the walls, I see your face

In memory, I search for your face

And I don’t know why

I don’t care to know why

Don’t let

The devil of love consume us

Swallow your warmth

Belch out my pain

Don’t let

The devil of love consume us

Swallow your warmth

Belch out my pain

When I look through the smoke

I fly away, and you’re my guide

Between worlds, we’ll grow old

Where someday we’ll find peace

And I don’t know why

I don’t care to know why

Don’t let

The devil of love consume us

Swallow your warmth

Belch out my pain

Don’t let

The devil of love consume us

Swallow your warmth

Belch out my pain

And I don’t know why

I don’t care to know why

Don’t let

The devil of love consume us

Swallow your warmth

Belch out my pain

Don’t let

The devil of love consume us

Swallow your warmth

Belch out my pain

Don’t let

The devil of love consume us

Swallow your warmth

Belch out my pain

No Dejes Que...-Caifanes

Written by：Saúl Hernández

Cuando veo a través del vaso

Veo a través del tiempo

Donde los sentidos se dislocan

Donde los temores se evaporan

Y aprovecho para desdoblarme

Para salir del vaso

Con las paredes veo tu rostro

Con la memoria busco tu rostro

Y no sé por qué

No me importa saber por qué

No dejes que

Nos coma el diablo amor

Que se trague tu calor

Que eructe mi dolor

No dejes que

Nos coma el diablo amor

Que se trague tu calor

Que eructe mi dolor

Cuando veo a través del humo

Me voy volando y tu eres mi guía

Entre los mundos nos haremos viejos

Donde algún día estaremos tranquilos

Y no sé por qué

No me importa saber por qué

No dejes que

Nos coma el diablo amor

Que se trague tu calor

Que eructe mi dolor

No dejes que

Nos coma el diablo amor

Que se trague tu calor

Que eructe mi dolor

Y no sé por qué

No me importa saber por qué

No dejes que

Nos coma el diablo amor

Que se trague tu calor

Que eructe mi dolor

No dejes que

Nos coma el diablo amor

Que se trague tu calor

Que eructe mi dolor

No dejes que

Nos coma el diablo amor

Que se trague tu calor

Que eructe mi dolor

Key Grammar Structures

• Cuando veo a través del vaso

  ➔ Subjunctive clause introduced by 'Cuando' (when).

  ➔ The sentence describes an action happening *when* the speaker sees through a glass. The use of 'Cuando' indicates a recurring or habitual action. The verb 'veo' (I see) is in the present indicative.

• Donde los sentidos se dislocan

  ➔ Relative clause introduced by 'Donde' (where). Passive voice ('se dislocan').

  ➔ This sentence uses 'Donde' to specify the *place* where the senses become distorted. 'Se dislocan' is a reflexive passive construction, meaning the senses are distorted *themselves*.

• Y aprovecho para desdoblarme

  ➔ Use of 'para' + infinitive to express purpose.

  ➔ The speaker is taking advantage of the situation ('aprovecho') *in order to* split themselves into two ('desdoblarme'). 'Para' indicates the reason or purpose of the action.

• No dejes que nos coma el diablo amor

  ➔ Subjunctive mood ('dejes') after a negative command ('No dejes'). Use of 'que' to introduce a subordinate clause.

  ➔ This is a strong plea: 'Don't let love, the devil, devour us.' The subjunctive 'dejes' is used because it expresses a wish or a command regarding a possible, but not certain, event. 'El diablo amor' is a metaphorical expression.
