Key Grammar Structures

• Cómo le explico al corazón que quieres irte

  ➔ Indirect Speech/Reported Speech, Subjunctive Mood

  ➔ The sentence reports what someone *wants* (to leave). The use of the subjunctive mood after 'que' (that) indicates uncertainty or subjectivity. The verb 'quieres' is in the present subjunctive because it's dependent on the main clause expressing a desire or feeling.

• Mira mis ojos mientras mi alma se desviste

  ➔ Gerund/Present Participle

  ➔ The word 'mientras' (while) introduces a clause describing an action happening *at the same time* as the main verb ('Mira'). 'se desviste' is a reflexive verb in the present participle form, functioning as an adverbial clause of time.

• Tamo' destinados a juntos celebrar la Navidad

  ➔ Passive Voice (implied), Prepositional Phrase

  ➔ 'Tamo'' is a colloquial shortening of 'Estamos'. The sentence implies a passive construction: 'we are destined'. 'a juntos' functions as an adverbial phrase modifying 'celebrar', indicating *how* we are destined to celebrate. 'la Navidad' is the object of the verb 'celebrar'.

• Chingando con un fillin' somos Rey de las olas

  ➔ Gerund, Colloquial Language

  ➔ 'Chingando' is a very colloquial (and potentially vulgar) term. 'con un fillin'' means 'with a friend/mate'. 'somos Rey de las olas' means 'we are king of the waves'. The gerund 'chingando' describes an action happening concurrently with being 'king of the waves'.
