[English]

I want to start over - Close to your cold beauty

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

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

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

Even if infinity comes to an end

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

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

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

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

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

Our passion (My heart) - Has no end...

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

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

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

Even if infinity comes to an end

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

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

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

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

Our passion (My heart) - Has no end...

[Spanish]

Quiero volver a comenzar Cerca de tu bella frialdad

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

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

Aunque la rosas se mueran Yo quiero estar junto a ti

Aunque el infinito encuentre su final

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

Ven toma de lo prohibido y quédate aquí conmigo

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

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

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

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

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

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

Aunque las rosas se mueran yo quiero estar junto a ti

Aunque el infinito encuentre su final

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

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

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

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

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

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).
