[English]

Just in case you want to know

If your little eyes were staring into the void, I'd let myself fall For you, I feel what I've never felt before

And I'd like to know

What Sundays would be like by your side And that doesn't happen to me with just anyone

An uncalculable, inscrutable beauty I want your mother to be my mother-in-law

To invite me for rice on Sundays And we take a nap all snuggled up

Angel face, let yourself fall Pasta and lobster at Isabel Mayfair

Drunk in Mallorca watching the sunrise Your flesh is like sugar with Jean Paul Gaultier

That cocktail of flavors that your look gifts Makes me fall more in love with you, baby ma

Willing to break my routine My muse, my diva, blessed be my ruin

The moon pretends not to look to stare at you, baby

This damn doubt is gonna kill me, baby There's no vaccine to cure me, baby

Just in case you want to know

If your little eyes were staring into the void, I'd let myself fall For you, I feel what I've never felt before

And I'd like to know

What Sundays would be like by your side And that doesn't happen to me with just anyone

Down your street My uncontrollable desire walks

I draw hearts in the air And they're erased by the afternoon breeze

Of the afternoon

I draw hearts I play with illusions

How beautiful to imagine you here

I'd like to know what you feel What goes through your mind

So close and so far from me

It's just that without you I'm only half

Just an excuse To go out looking for you

What does anyone know to teach this heart How to explain to it that I'm dying, I'm dying of love

Time will pass And I'll keep singing to you

Just in case you want to know

If your little eyes were staring into the void, I'd let myself fall For you, I feel what I've never felt before

And I'd like to know

What Sundays would be like by your side And that doesn't happen to me with just anyone

Down your street My uncontrollable desire walks

I draw hearts in the air And they're erased by the afternoon breeze

Of the afternoon

[Spanish]

Por si lo quieres saber 

Si tus ojitos miraran al vacío yo me dejo caer Por ti siento lo que nunca había sentío'

Y yo quisiera saber 

Cómo serían los domingos a tu vera Y eso no me pasa con cualquiera

Una chula incalculable inescrutable Quiero que mi suegra sea tu madre

Que me invite los domingos a arrocito Y no echemos una siesta pegaítos

Carita de ángel déjate caer Pasta y bogavante en Isabel Mayfair

En Mallorca borrachita viendo amanecer Tu carne es azuquita con Jean Paul Gaultier

Ese cocktail de sabores que regala tú mirá Hace que me enamore de ti más baby ma 

Dispuesta a romperme la rutina Mi musa mi diva bendita sea mi ruina

La luna disimula pa' mirarte, baby

Está maldita duda va a matarme, baby No existe vacuna pa' curarme, baby

Por si lo quieres saber

Si tus ojitos miraran al vacío yo me dejo caer Por ti siento lo que nunca había sentío'

Y yo quisiera saber 

Cómo serían los domingos a tu vera Y eso no me pasa con cualquiera

Por tu calle Se pasea mi deseo incontrolable 

Yo dibujo corazones en el aire Y se borran con la brisa de la tarde 

De la tarde

Dibujo corazones Juego con ilusiones

Que bonito imaginarte aquí

Quisiera saber que sientes Qué pasa por tu mente 

Tan cerca y tan lejos de mí

Es que yo si no estás Solo soy una mitad 

Una excusa nada más Para salir a buscarte

Qué sabe nadie pa' enseñarle a este corazón Cómo explicarle que me muero, me muero de amor

El tiempo pasará Y yo seguiré cantándote

Por si lo quieres saber

Si tus ojitos miraran al vacío yo me dejo caer Por ti siento lo que nunca había sentío'

Y yo quisiera saber 

Cómo serían los domingos a tu vera Y eso no me pasa con cualquiera

Por tu calle Se pasea mi deseo incontrolable 

Yo dibujo corazones en el aire Y se borran con la brisa de la tarde

De la tarde

Key Grammar Structures

• Si tus ojitos miraran al vacío yo me dejo caer

  ➔ Conditional Sentences (Type 1): Si + Imperfect Subjunctive, Conditional Simple

  ➔ This sentence uses a conditional structure. "Si tus ojitos miraran al vacío" (If your little eyes were to look into the void) expresses a hypothetical situation in the imperfect subjunctive. "yo me dejo caer" (I would let myself fall) expresses the consequence in the conditional simple.

• Por ti siento lo que nunca había sentío'

  ➔ Preposition "Por" expressing reason or cause; Past Perfect Subjunctive (había sentío')

  ➔ "Por ti" indicates the reason or cause. "había sentío'" is a colloquial shortening of "había sentido" representing the Past Perfect Subjunctive, showing an action completed before another past action (the feeling now).

• Cómo serían los domingos a tu vera

  ➔ Conditional Simple (serían) expressing conjecture or probability in the past; prepositional phrase "a tu vera"

  ➔ "serían" is the conditional simple of "ser," used to express a hypothetical situation in the past or a degree of uncertainty about the present. "A tu vera" means "by your side."

• Quiero que mi suegra sea tu madre

  ➔ Subjunctive after "Querer que"

  ➔ The verb "querer" (to want) when followed by "que" and a new subject requires the subjunctive mood. Here, "sea" is the subjunctive form of "ser."

• Y no echemos una siesta pegaítos

  ➔ Subjunctive after a negative command ("no echemos"); Adjective "pegaítos" (colloquial shortening for "pegados").

  ➔ "No echemos" is a negative imperative (first person plural, let's not...) and requires the subjunctive. "Pegaítos" is a colloquial shortening of "pegados" (stuck together).

• Hace que me enamore de ti más baby ma

  ➔ "Hacer que" + Subjunctive/Indicative; comparative adverb "más"

  ➔ "Hace que me enamore" means "it makes me fall in love." "Hacer que" can be followed by either subjunctive or indicative, depending on the context. Here, since it's stating a fact or consequence, it usually takes indicative (but colloquial usage might vary). "Más" is a comparative adverb meaning "more."

• Está maldita duda va a matarme, baby

  ➔ Future Simple with "ir a + infinitive" (va a matarme); adjective "maldita" before the noun.

  ➔ "Va a matarme" is the future simple expressed using "ir a" + infinitive. "Maldita" is an adjective meaning "cursed" and it's placed before the noun "duda" (doubt) for emphasis.
