[English]

Hey, how are you?

I don't want to bother

Even if I know, I won't lie to myself

If I can stop it, let it not hurt me

Before your hand in mine

Now we're two strangers

You used to tell me you loved me

That you wanted me in your bed

Everything's gone, I lost it

Now I can't see you around here

I still like your heart

The desire I have for more

That, baby, won't end

I'm awake another night

Thinking about your lips

Baby, I curse my luck

Your name is engraved in my mind because I want to

I won't forget you

And even if I forget about you

Nothing will change

Oh oh oh oh

...

Oh oh oh oh

Tell me you're going to call

Tell me you're going to call

All my memories now seem so old

If I can't give you anything

Because I give you my whole heart

The emotion of seeing us again gets to me

...

And sometime later when nothing matters that much

And you look into my eyes

Maybe you'll see something new, my love

If we fall back in love

...

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

Tell me you're going to call

Tell me you're going to call

And I no longer want to

Cover your gaps

Tell me you're going to call

Tell me you're going to call

...

[Spanish]

Hey ¿Qué tal?

No quiero molestar

Aunque sepa, no me engaño

Si puedo pararlo, que no me haga daño

Antes tu mano en mi mano

Ahora somos dos extraños

Me decía que me amaba

Que me quería en su cama

Todo se fue, yo lo perdí

Ahora ya no puedo verte por aquí

Me sigue gustando tu cora

Las ganas que tengo de más

Eso mami no se va a acabar

Estoy otra noche

Pensando en tus labios

Mami maldigo mi suerte

Llevo grabado tu nombre porque quiero

De ti no me voy a olvidar

Y aunque me olvide de ti

Nada va a cambiar

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

Dime que vas a llamar

Dime que vas a llamar

Todos mis recuerdos ahora parecen tan viejos

Si no puedo darte nada

Porque todo te lo entrego corazón

Me puede la emoción de vernos

Y dentro de algún tiempo cuando nada importe tanto

Y me mires a los ojos

Quizás veas algo nuevo mi amor

Si volvemos a querernos

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

Dime que vas a llamar

Dime que vas a llamar

Y ya no quiero

Tapar tus huecos

Dime que vas a llamar

Dime que vas a llamar

Key Grammar Structures

• Aunque sepa, no me engaño

  ➔ Subjunctive after 'aunque' indicating doubt/uncertainty. Present subjunctive: 'sepa'

  ➔ Even though I know, I'm not fooling myself. "Aunque" introduces a clause of concession and because the speaker has some doubt, it takes the subjunctive. The use of subjunctive emphasises the speakers intention or opinion.

• Si puedo pararlo, que no me haga daño

  ➔ Subjunctive in a relative clause with an antecedent that is hypothetical or uncertain. Present subjunctive: 'haga'.

  ➔ If I can stop it, may it not hurt me. 'Que no me haga daño' is a relative clause referring back to the unmentioned 'it' (pararlo). It uses the subjunctive because the possibility is not certain but desired or feared.

• Me sigue gustando tu cora

  ➔ Use of 'gustar' with an indirect object pronoun ('me') to express liking something.

  ➔ Your heart continues to please me / I still like your heart. The structure is unconventional, but 'me sigue gustando tu cora' emphasizes that the subject (tu cora) is doing the pleasing to the speaker.

• Las ganas que tengo de más

  ➔ Relative clause using 'que' to connect two parts of the sentence.

  ➔ The desires that I have and more (literally, 'of more'). The 'que' introduces a relative clause modifying 'ganas'. It showcases a more conversational structure, where the 'que' refers back to 'ganas'.

• Estoy otra noche pensando en tus labios

  ➔ Use of gerund ('pensando') to describe an ongoing action.

  ➔ I am (spending) another night thinking about your lips. The gerund 'pensando' indicates that thinking is an ongoing process.

• Mami maldigo mi suerte

  ➔ Use of the present tense ('maldigo') to express a present action or feeling.

  ➔ Baby, I curse my luck. 'Maldigo' is in the present indicative, directly expressing the speaker's current feeling.

• Si volvemos a querernos

  ➔ Conditional sentence using 'si' with the present indicative ('volvemos') and future indicative (implied).

  ➔ If we love each other again. This construction implies what *will* happen if they love each other again. There is an implied future consequence. This is the most common type of conditional sentence.
