Quiero volver a comenzar Cerca de tu bella frialdad

I want to start over - Close to your cold beauty

Quiero buscar pero no encuentro no puedo Quiero gritar para que escuches mi voz

I want to seek but cannot find - I want to shout so you hear my voice

MI corazón guarda un oscuro deseo Quiere volver a ser raptada por ti

My heart holds a dark desire - It wants to be taken by you again

Aunque la rosas se mueran Yo quiero estar junto a ti

Even if the roses die - I want to stay beside you

Aunque el infinito encuentre su final

Even if infinity comes to an end

Quiero volver a respirar de tu cuerpo Y recordar que estas hecho para mí

I want to breathe again from your body - And remember you're made for me

Ven toma de lo prohibido y quédate aquí conmigo

Come, take what's forbidden and stay here - with me

Que la noche venga por los dos (Toma mi amor) Quédate aquí (Bebe de mí)

Let the night come for us both (Take my love) - Stay here (Drink from me)

Quiero probar (Come mi piel) Hasta saciar (Es para ti)

I want to taste (Eat my skin) - Until I’m satisfied (It’s for you)

Esta ansiedad (Todo mi ser) Siento poder (late por ti)

This anxiety (My whole being) - I feel it beating (for you)

Nuestra pasión (Mi corazón) No tiene fin...

Quiero detener el tiempo para no dejarte ir Aunque el infinito encuentre su final

I want to stop time so I won't let you go - Even if infinity ends

Quiero sentir de aquel calor de tus besos Quiero beber de la pasión que hay en ti

I want to feel the warmth of your kisses - I want to drink the passion within you

Aunque las rosas se mueran yo quiero estar junto a ti

Even if the roses die, I want to be - with you

Aunque el infinito encuentre su final

Even if infinity comes to an end

Esta noche mis colmillos habitaran en tu cuello Y conocerás mi oscuridad...

Tonight my fangs will dwell in your neck - And you'll know my darkness...

(Toma mi amor) Quédate aquí (Bebe de mí)

(Take my love) - Stay here (Drink from me)

Key Grammar Structures

• Quiero volver a comenzar

  ➔ Infinitive phrase after a verb of desire (Querer + a + infinitive)

  ➔ The verb "Querer" (to want) is followed by the preposition "a" and the infinitive "comenzar" (to start). This structure expresses the desire to start again.

• Mi corazón guarda un oscuro deseo

  ➔ Present indicative tense (guarda) to describe a current state or characteristic.

  ➔ "Guarda" is the third-person singular form of the verb "guardar" (to keep, to hold). It indicates that the heart holds a dark desire.

• Quiere volver a ser raptada por ti

  ➔ Passive voice with "ser" + past participle (raptada). Used to emphasize the action being done *to* the subject.

  ➔ The subject (she/it) *wants* to *be* kidnapped *by* you. It's not actively kidnapping someone, but rather desires the action to be done to her.

• Aunque la rosas se mueran

  ➔ Subjunctive mood (mueran) after "aunque" expressing a hypothetical or uncertain situation.

  ➔ "Aunque" means "even if" or "although". Because it introduces a hypothetical situation, the verb "morir" (to die) takes the subjunctive form, "mueran".

• Quiero volver a respirar de tu cuerpo

  ➔ Preposition "de" indicating origin or source (respirar *de* tu cuerpo).

  ➔ The phrase means "to breathe *from* your body", implying that the body is the source of breath or life.

• Ven toma de lo prohibido y quédate aquí conmigo

  ➔ Imperative mood (Ven, toma, quédate) used to give commands or make requests.

  ➔ Each verb (Ven = come, toma = take, quédate = stay) is in the imperative form, directly addressing the listener and commanding them to perform the action.

• Esta noche mis colmillos habitaran en tu cuello

  ➔ Future Subjunctive (habitaran). This tense is rarely used in modern Spanish, often replaced by other tenses like the Conditional or the Present Subjunctive depending on the context. Here, it expresses a somewhat archaic or literary tone, suggesting a strong, almost fated, future event.

  ➔ While grammatically correct, the use of the Future Subjunctive creates a heightened sense of drama and anticipation. It suggests not just a possibility, but a preordained occurrence. A more common phrasing might be "Esta noche mis colmillos habitarán en tu cuello" (Future Indicative), or "Esta noche mis colmillos habiten en tu cuello" (Present Subjunctive, with a different nuance).
