[English]

No distance can stop me from moving forward.

My path is hard for others to understand.

I seek a challenge where few still remain.

A flame that will never go out.

A legend, just a dream.

Only a whisper, a rumor.

...

I search for someone strong within themselves.

...

Come, reveal yourself to me.

...

A legend, just a dream.

Only a whisper, a rumor.

...

I search for someone with real strength inside.

...

I want to hear you shout it out.

Above the crowd of voices.

Show me your passion.

The one that makes you unique.

And shout: I’m my own king.

My own rule—my future and my present.

...

I’ve come this far to see if you can offer me something.

Show me.

...

No fear of destiny.

You have nothing to be afraid of.

...

I am the one who gave you your thread of fate.

There’s nothing you can do about it.

So now—

I want to hear you shout it.

Louder than all the rest.

Show me your passion.

The one that makes you different.

And shout: I’m my own king.

My own rule—my future and my present.

...

I’m here. I want to live forever.

Show me.

I want to hear you shout it out.

Above the crowd.

Show me your passion.

The one that sets you apart.

And shout it—

I’m my own king, my own law.

I am my future and my present.

...

I’m here. I want to live forever.

Show me.

...

[Spanish]

No hay distancia, que no pueda recorrer

Mi camino es difícil de entender

Busco un reto donde pocos quedan ya

Una llama que jamás se apagará

Una leyenda, solo un sueño

Simplemente un rumor

Busco a alguien con la fuerza necesaria en su interior

Ven y muestrate ante mí

Una leyenda, solo un sueño

Simplemente un rumor

Busco a alguien con la fuerza necesaria en su interior

Quiero oírte gritar

Sobre el resto de la gente

Muéstrame la pasión

Que te hace diferente

Y grita: yo soy mi rey

Mi propia ley soy mi futuro y mi presente

Llegué hasta aquí a decidir si tienes algo que ofrecerme

Muestrámelo

Ningún miedo al destino

Nada debes de temer

Fui yo quien te dio tu hilo

Nada tú podrás hacer

Así que ahora

Quiero oírte gritar

Sobre el resto de la gente

Muéstrame la pasión

Que te hace diferente

Y grita: yo soy mi rey

Mi propia ley soy mi futuro y mi presente

Estoy aquí, quiero vivir y quiero hacerlo eternamente

Muéstramelo

Quiero oírte gritar

Sobre el resto de la gente

Muéstrame la pasión

Que te hace diferente

Y grita

Yo soy mi rey mi propia ley

Soy mi futuro y mi presente

Estoy aquí, quiero vivir y quiero hacerlo eternamente

Muéstramelo

Key Grammar Structures

• No hay distancia, que no pueda recorrer

  ➔ Subjunctive clause with 'que' after negation

  ➔ The verb 'pueda' is in the subjunctive mood because it follows a negative phrase 'No hay distancia que ...', expressing something uncertain or hypothetical.

• Mi camino es difícil de entender

  ➔ Impersonal infinitive construction

  ➔ ‘Difícil de entender’ means ‘difficult to understand’, where the infinitive ‘entender’ acts as a complement without a specific subject.

• Busco a alguien con la fuerza necesaria en su interior

  ➔ Personal ‘a’ for a human direct object

  ➔ The sentence uses ‘a alguien’ because the direct object refers to a person, requiring the personal ‘a’ in Spanish grammar.

• Ven y muéstrate ante mí

  ➔ Imperative mood and reflexive pronoun

  ➔ ‘Muéstrate’ combines the imperative of ‘mostrar(se)’ with the reflexive pronoun ‘te’, meaning ‘show yourself’.

• Quiero oírte gritar

  ➔ Infinitive with pronoun attachment

  ➔ ‘Oírte’ joins ‘te’ (you) to the infinitive ‘oír’, forming a single word typical in Spanish when pronouns attach to infinitives.

• Yo soy mi rey, mi propia ley soy mi futuro y mi presente

  ➔ Ellipsis and inversion for poetic emphasis

  ➔ The line omits verbs and reverses word order for rhythm and emphasis, repeating ‘soy’ to reinforce identity and power.

• Nada debes de temer

  ➔ Double negative and modal expression

  ➔ The word ‘Nada’ works with ‘debes de’ (should) forming a modal structure meaning ‘you should not fear anything’.

• Llegué hasta aquí a decidir si tienes algo que ofrecerme

  ➔ Infinitive of purpose (‘a decidir’)

  ➔ The structure ‘a decidir’ shows purpose, equivalent to ‘in order to decide’ in English.

• Fui yo quien te dio tu hilo

  ➔ Relative pronoun ‘quien’ for subject of clause

  ➔ ‘Quien’ introduces a relative clause identifying the subject who performed the action: ‘It was I who gave you your thread’.
