Key Grammar Structures
-
Ahora que solamente estamos tú y yo
➔ **Subjunctive after 'Ahora que' indicating a fact**.
➔ 'Ahora que' means 'now that.' In this context, since it is something that is happening *now*, it uses the indicative. The sentence emphasizes the present moment and the fact that it's only the two of them.
-
Niña dame tus besos que me dan calor
➔ **Relative clause with subjunctive (arguably indicative) 'que me dan calor'.**
➔ The relative clause "que me dan calor" describes the kisses. It is indicative because it is a factual description of the kisses providing warmth.
-
Juntamos en un cuerpo toda la pasión
➔ **Present tense (juntamos) expressing a desire or intention.**
➔ While seemingly simple, the use of the present tense here expresses a strong intention or a call to action. It implies urgency and a desire to immediately unite their passion.
-
Antes que se haga tarde, antes que salga el sol
➔ **Subjunctive after 'antes que' expressing anticipation of an event.**
➔ 'Antes que' always requires the subjunctive because it describes something uncertain or a future possibility. The focus is on preventing these events (getting late, the sun rising).
-
Volaremos entre nubes de algodón
➔ **Future simple (Volaremos) expressing a prediction or intention.**
➔ The future tense "volaremos" indicates something that will happen in the future. It's not just a prediction; it's also a declaration of intent to fly among cotton clouds.
-
Que bailen las flores y los corazones
➔ **Subjunctive in a relative clause expressing a desire or hope (influenced by the imperative).**
➔ Although "que" introduces a relative clause, here it doesn't describe something factual. Rather, it expresses a desire or a hope. The speaker wants the flowers and hearts to dance, which is why the subjunctive is used. This is often used after expressions of emotion or requests.
-
Niña de mis amores dime que yo Podré toda la vida compartir tu amor
➔ **Future conditional 'Podré' expressing possibility in the future, dependent on a condition (Dime que...).**
➔ The use of the future tense 'Podré' indicates an action that *could* happen in the future. It depends on what the girl tells him ('Dime que'). It is a possibility, not a certainty.
-
Vente aquí a mi vera y juntémonos En una sola llama fuego del amor
➔ **Imperative 'Vente' + Subjunctive 'juntémonos' expressing a desire and suggestion for a shared action.**
➔ 'Vente' is an imperative telling the girl to come closer. 'Juntémonos' is a subjunctive used to suggest a shared action, it shows the singer's desire for them to unite.
