Lyrics & Translation

[Spanish]

[English]

Hey ¿Qué tal?

Hey, how are you?

No quiero molestar

I don't want to bother

Aunque sepa, no me engaño

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

Si puedo pararlo, que no me haga daño

If I can stop it, let it not hurt me

Antes tu mano en mi mano

Before your hand in mine

Ahora somos dos extraños

Now we're two strangers

Me decía que me amaba

You used to tell me you loved me

Que me quería en su cama

That you wanted me in your bed

Todo se fue, yo lo perdí

Everything's gone, I lost it

Ahora ya no puedo verte por aquí

Now I can't see you around here

Me sigue gustando tu cora

I still like your heart

Las ganas que tengo de más

The desire I have for more

Eso mami no se va a acabar

That, baby, won't end

Estoy otra noche

I'm awake another night

Pensando en tus labios

Thinking about your lips

Mami maldigo mi suerte

Baby, I curse my luck

Llevo grabado tu nombre porque quiero

Your name is engraved in my mind because I want to

De ti no me voy a olvidar

I won't forget you

Y aunque me olvide de ti

And even if I forget about you

Nada va a cambiar

Nothing will change

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

...

...

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

Dime que vas a llamar

Tell me you're going to call

Dime que vas a llamar

Tell me you're going to call

Todos mis recuerdos ahora parecen tan viejos

All my memories now seem so old

Si no puedo darte nada

If I can't give you anything

Porque todo te lo entrego corazón

Because I give you my whole heart

Me puede la emoción de vernos

The emotion of seeing us again gets to me

...

...

Y dentro de algún tiempo cuando nada importe tanto

And sometime later when nothing matters that much

Y me mires a los ojos

And you look into my eyes

Quizás veas algo nuevo mi amor

Maybe you'll see something new, my love

Si volvemos a querernos

If we fall back in love

...

...

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

Dime que vas a llamar

Tell me you're going to call

Dime que vas a llamar

Tell me you're going to call

Y ya no quiero

And I no longer want to

Tapar tus huecos

Cover your gaps

Dime que vas a llamar

Tell me you're going to call

Dime que vas a llamar

Tell me you're going to call

...

...

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.
