[English]

Alone, knowing

That you're leaving me,

Knowing

That you won't come back,

That you won't come back.

I want you to understand,

That for your love,

I would go as far as sacrifice,

And it's all for you...

Don't leave me alone

For I cannot live without you,

Don't leave me alone,

ouuuoohh ohhh ohhh ohhh

Don't leave me alone

Because it will be my death,

If you drift away from me

ouuuuuoohh oooh ohhh ohhh

In my life I've never loved,

The way that I love you.

ouuuuoohhh ohhh ohh ohhh

Laralalalala laralalalala laralalalalala

ouuuuohhh ohhh ohhh ohhh

laralalalala laralalalala laralalalala

ouuuooohh ohhh ohhh ohhh

I want you to understand,

That for your love

I would go as far as sacrifice

And it's all for you...

Don't leave me alone,

For I cannot live without you,

Don't leave me alone

ouuuhhhh ohhh ohhh ohhh

Don't leave me alone,

Because it will be my death

If you drift away from me,

ouuuuuohhh ohhh ohhh ohhh

Don't leave me alone...

[Spanish]

Solo, al saber

Que te vas de mí,

Al saber

Que no volverás,

Que no volverás.

Quiero que comprendas,

Que por tu amor,

Llegaré hasta el sacrificio,

Y es por Ti...

No me dejes solo

Que no vivo sin ti,

No me dejes solo,

ouuuoohh ohhh ohhh ohhh

No me dejes solo

Que mi muerte será,

Si te alejas de mí

ouuuuuoohh oooh ohhh ohhh

En la vida no amé,

Como te quiero a ti.

Llegaré hasta el sacrificio

Y es por ti...

Que no vivo sin ti,

No me dejes solo

No me dejes solo,

Que mi muerte será

Si te alejas de mí,

ouuuuuohhh ohhh ohhh ohhh

No me dejes solo...

Key Grammar Structures

• Solo, al saber que te vas de mí,

  ➔ Infinitive construction after preposition

  ➔ The structure "al" + infinitive (al saber) acts as a temporal marker meaning "upon knowing" or "when knowing".

• Que no volverás.

  ➔ Future Simple (Futuro Simple)

  ➔ The verb "volverás" is in the future tense, indicating an action that will not happen in the time to come.

• Quiero que comprendas,

  ➔ Subjunctive mood after verbs of desire

  ➔ After "Quiero que", the verb must be in the subjunctive mood ("comprendas") because the subject of the main clause is different from the subordinate.

• Llegaré hasta el sacrificio,

  ➔ Use of "hasta" as a preposition of limit

  ➔ The word "hasta" is used here to indicate the extreme limit or degree of the speaker's willingness to sacrifice.

• No me dejes solo,

  ➔ Negative Imperative

  ➔ The construction "No" + subjunctive ("dejes") is the standard way to express a negative command in Spanish.

• Que no vivo sin ti,

  ➔ Causal "Que"

  ➔ In this context, "Que" functions as a conjunction meaning "because" (ya que/porque), justifying the previous command.

• Que mi muerte será,

  ➔ Subject-Verb Inversion

  ➔ The subject "mi muerte" is placed after the verb "será" for poetic emphasis, common in song lyrics.

• En la vida no amé, Como te quiero a ti.

  ➔ Comparative clause (Como + verb)

  ➔ The structure "Como te quiero" is used to compare the intensity of past love with current feelings.
