Por Primera Vez

Lyrics:

[Español]

[English]

Tengo tantas ganas

I have so many desires

Ay, de besarte en las mañanas

Oh, to kiss you in the mornings

Justo cuando te levantas

Right when you wake up

(Te amo)

(I love you)

Pero tengo miedo (Tengo miedo)

But I'm scared (I'm scared)

Que busques a alguien perfecto

That you might look for someone perfect

Y yo tan de carne y hueso

And I'm just flesh and bone

Si pudiera controlar el tiempo

If I could control time

Yo volvería a esperar de nuevo

I would wait again

Una y mil veces

A thousand and one times

Pa' ver como amaneces

To see how you wake up

Por primera vez, un amanecer bonito

For the first time, a beautiful sunrise

Por primera vez, lo que quiero y necesito

For the first time, what I want and need

Por primera vez, hoy duerme el cielo conmigo

For the first time, today the sky sleeps with me

Por primera vez, yo volví a nacer contigo

For the first time, I was reborn with you

Yeah-yeah, contigo

Yeah-yeah, with you

Si yo te tengo no me falta nada

If I have you, I lack nothing

Tan largo que fue ayer y ya casi es mañana

So long that yesterday was and it's almost tomorrow

Pa' darte los beso' que nunca nos dimo'

To give you the kisses we never gave

Para decirte cosa' bonita' siempre yo aquí estaré

To tell you beautiful things, I will always be here

Porque yo me siento bien cuando tú te sientes bien

Because I feel good when you feel good

Mi vida es vida solo contigo

My life is life only with you

Si tú no estás no tiene sentido, amor (Ya no lo tiene, amor)

If you're not here, it makes no sense, love (It no longer makes sense, love)

Lo que quiero y necesito (Tú y yo)

What I want and need (You and me)

Por primera vez, un amanecer bonito (Un amanecer bonito)

For the first time, a beautiful sunrise (A beautiful sunrise)

Por primera vez, lo que quiero y necesito (Tú eres lo que yo necesito)

For the first time, what I want and need (You are what I need)

Por primera vez, hoy duerme el cielo conmigo (Yeah-yeah)

For the first time, today the sky sleeps with me (Yeah-yeah)

Por primera vez, yo volví a nacer contigo

For the first time, I was reborn with you

(Yeah-yeah, contigo)

(Yeah-yeah, with you)

Mi vida es vida solo contigo (Solo contigo)

My life is life only with you (Only with you)

Si tú no estás no tiene sentido, amor (Que no tiene sentido)

If you're not here, it makes no sense, love (That it makes no sense)

Lo que quiero y necesito (Dime)

What I want and need (Tell me)

Mi vida es vida solo contigo

My life is life only with you

Si tú no estás no tiene sentido, amor

If you're not here, it makes no sense, love

Lo que quiero y necesito (Yeah-yeah-yeah)

What I want and need (Yeah-yeah-yeah)

Por primera vez, un amanecer bonito (Un amanecer bonito)

For the first time, a beautiful sunrise (A beautiful sunrise)

Por primera vez, lo que quiero y necesito (Que te quiero, ven)

For the first time, what I want and need (That I love you, come)

Por primera vez, hoy duerme el cielo conmigo

For the first time, today the sky sleeps with me

Por primera vez, yo volví a nacer contigo

For the first time, I was reborn with you

Yeah-yeah, contigo

Yeah-yeah, with you

Si pudiera controlar el tiempo

If I could control time

Yo volvería a esperar de nuevo

I would wait again

Una y mil veces

A thousand and one times

Pa' ver cómo amaneces

To see how you wake up

Grammar:

• Tengo tantas ganas Ay, de besarte en las mañanas

  ➔ tener + tantas/muchas ganas de + infinitive

  ➔ Expresses a strong desire or longing to do something. Here, it indicates a strong desire to kiss the person in the mornings.

• Que busques a alguien perfecto Y yo tan de carne y hueso

  ➔ Subjunctive mood after 'que' expressing doubt or fear. 'Tan' + adjective/adverb + 'de' + noun.

  ➔ The subjunctive 'busques' shows the speaker's fear that the other person might look for someone perfect. 'Tan de carne y hueso' means 'so human' or 'just flesh and blood'.

• Si pudiera controlar el tiempo Yo volvería a esperar de nuevo

  ➔ Second conditional: Si + past subjunctive, conditional simple.

  ➔ Expresses an unreal or hypothetical situation. 'Si pudiera' indicates 'if I could' and 'volvería' indicates 'I would return'.

• Para darte los beso' que nunca nos dimo'

  ➔ Relative clause with subjunctive mood 'dimo'' because the existence of the kisses is uncertain or hypothetical. Use of apostrophe (') to indicate the omission of letters.

  ➔ 'Que nunca nos dimo'' uses the subjunctive because the kisses are something desired but that haven't happened. The apostrophe represents the shortened form of 'dimos'.

• Mi vida es vida solo contigo Si tú no estás no tiene sentido, amor

  ➔ 'Si' clause expressing a condition. 'Tener sentido' - to make sense, to have meaning.

  ➔ Expresses the idea that the speaker's life only has meaning when they are with the other person. 'Si tú no estás' sets the condition, and 'no tiene sentido' is the result.
