Key Grammar Structures
-
Déjame atravesar el viento sin documentos
➔ Imperative mood with indirect object pronoun
➔ "Déjame" literally means "let me". It's a way of asking permission or making a request using the imperative mood combined with the indirect object pronoun "me".
-
Que lo haré por el tiempo que tuvimos
➔ Relative clause with "que" and future tense
➔ "Que lo haré" introduces a relative clause modifying an unstated antecedent. "Lo haré" is in the future tense, indicating a promise or intention to do something.
-
Porque buscando tu sonrisa estaría toda mi vida
➔ Conditional tense in the main clause with "si" implied
➔ "Estaría" is in the conditional tense. The "si" (if) clause is implied (e.g., if I were searching for your smile). The conditional tense expresses a hypothetical or uncertain action.
-
Quiero ser el único que te muerda la boca
➔ Subjunctive mood after "que" expressing desire
➔ While "muerda" might appear to be indicative, in this context (following "que" after a verb of volition "Quiero"), it requires the subjunctive mood, because it expresses a desire or subjective wish, not a certainty.
-
Quiero saber que la vida contigo no va a terminar
➔ Future periphrasis (ir + a + infinitive) to express future intention
➔ "Va a terminar" is a future periphrasis, formed with the verb "ir" (to go) + "a" + infinitive (terminar). It expresses an intention or prediction about the future.
-
Porque mientras espero, por ti me muero y no quiero seguir así
➔ Present tense to express a strong, ongoing emotion
➔ "Me muero" is in the present tense, but it's used hyperbolically to express the intensity of the speaker's feelings. It doesn't literally mean they are dying, but rather they are suffering intensely.
