[English]

Once upon a time there was a woman

Who didn't believe in love

She watched the sunset

With no one to share it with

She thought that in her solitude

There was nothing to fear

Perhaps she suffered a disappointment

Or it was because of a lack of hope

Isolated, without feeling

Come, give me a reason

Give me a reason not to love

There is no heart

That doesn't endure

Step out of the darkness

Of loneliness

And show your inner self

Full of magic

She didn't see her soul bloom

She followed a path without passion

She wasn't able to be brave

All because of fear of failing

She thought she wasn't special

Undoubtedly she was wrong

Perhaps she suffered a disappointment

Or it was because of a lack of hope

Isolated, without feeling

Come, give me a reason

Give me a reason not to love

There is no heart

That doesn't endure

Step out of the darkness

Of loneliness

And show your inner self

Full of magic

Come, give me a reason

Give me a reason not to love

There is no heart

That doesn't endure

Step out of the darkness

Of loneliness

And show your inner self

Full of magic

...

[Spanish]

Hubo una vez una mujer

Que no creía en el amor

Contemplaba el atardecer

Sin nadie con quien compartir

Pensaba que en su soledad

No había nada que temer

Quizás sufrió una decepción

O fue por falta de ilusión

Aislada sin sentir

Ven, dame una razón

Por la que no amar

No existe un corazón

Que no resista

Sal de la obscuridad

De la soledad

Y muestra tu interior

Lleno de magia

No vio su alma florecer

Siguió un camino sin pasión

No fue capaz de ser valiente

Todo por miedo a fracasar

Creí que no era especial

Sin duda estaba equivocada

Quizás sufrió una decepción

O fue por falta de ilusión

Aislada sin sentir

Ven, dame una razón

Por la que no amar

No existe un corazón

Que no resista

Sal de la obscuridad

De la soledad

Y muestra tu interior

Lleno de magia

Ven, dame una razón

Por la que no amar

No existe un corazón

Que no resista

Sal de la obscuridad

De la soledad

Y muestra tu interior

Lleno de magia

Key Grammar Structures

• Hubo una vez una mujer

  ➔ Preterite tense of 'haber' used in impersonal expressions ('hubo') meaning 'there was'.

  ➔ The word 'hubo' comes from 'haber' and introduces a past event or existence.

• Que no creía en el amor

  ➔ Imperfect tense of 'creer' used for past continuous or habitual belief.

  ➔ The phrase 'no creía' shows that disbelief lasted over a period of time.

• Pensaba que en su soledad no había nada que temer

  ➔ Imperfect tense in 'pensaba' and imperfect 'había' to describe mental and background states.

  ➔ The verbs show thought and background situation, not actions.

• Quizás sufrió una decepción

  ➔ Preterite tense of 'sufrir' expressing completed action; 'quizás' introduces possibility.

  ➔ ‘Quizás’ suggests uncertainty—she might have suffered a disappointment.

• Aislada sin sentir

  ➔ Participle used as adjective ('aislada') + infinitive ('sentir') expressing state and condition.

  ➔ ‘Aislada’ describes her condition, and ‘sin sentir’ expresses lack of feeling.

• Ven, dame una razón

  ➔ Imperative mood ('ven', 'dame') used for direct commands or requests.

  ➔ ‘Ven’ (come) and ‘dame’ (give me) invite action directly.

• Por la que no amar

  ➔ Relative pronoun 'que' in prepositional phrase; infinitive 'amar' as noun.

  ➔ The structure ‘por la que’ introduces a reason, connected with ‘amar’.

• No existe un corazón que no resista

  ➔ Subjunctive mood ('resista') used after a relative clause expressing nonexistence.

  ➔ ‘Que no resista’ is subjunctive because the heart described is hypothetical.

• Sal de la oscuridad

  ➔ Informal imperative (‘sal’) from ‘salir’; prepositional phrase ‘de la oscuridad’.

  ➔ ‘Sal’ tells someone directly to leave darkness, encouraging hope or rebirth.
