[Music]

I search, I search for a vessel to place

the present, the present that I hold in the

right hand, and that the spouse says that

they call love, love, love or passion, confusion

or fear, a glass of wine, or a bouquet of

flowers, or a letter that says things about the

beautiful life in prose, and I ended up saying

forever

and the night before, among stars of

whiskey, our fatigue settles on

the hard sidewalks, you seemed to me a

bottle where to place it through

kisses through verses and verses that

I make both for you with my mouth in the shape of

a trumpet, and it plays, and it plays a note

on your lower lip, and the others stay

on the tip of my tongue

vida bonita en prosa Y acabé diciendo

te hago los dos con mi boca en forma de

trompeta y que toca y que toca una nota

en tu labio de abajo y las otras se me

quedan en la punta de la lengua

Key Grammar Structures

• busco un recipiente **donde** colocar el presente que traigo en la mano derecha

  ➔ Relative clause with *donde* (where) + infinitive

  ➔ The word **"donde"** introduces a relative clause that functions as a place‑where complement for the noun *recipiente*, and the infinitive *colocar* shows purpose.

• el cónyuge dice que llaman **amor** **amor** **amor** o pasión confusión o temor

  ➔ Reported speech with *dice que* + subordinate clause, repetition for emphasis

  ➔ The verb **"dice"** introduces reported speech with **"que"**, and the triple **"amor"** is repeated to create a rhetorical emphasis.

• por medio de **besos** por medio de **versos**

  ➔ Prepositional phrase *por medio de* (by means of) + noun

  ➔ The phrase **"por medio de"** expresses the means by which something is done; it is followed by the nouns **"besos"** and **"versos"**.

• me **pareciste** un frasco donde **colocarlo**

  ➔ Verb *parecer* in preterite + indirect object pronoun + infinitive with clitic *lo*

  ➔ The preterite **"pareciste"** (you seemed) takes the indirect object **"me"**, and the infinitive **"colocarlo"** includes the clitic **"lo"** referring back to *recipiente*.

• las **otras** se **me** quedan en la punta de la lengua

  ➔ Reflexive pronoun *se* with dative *me* + verb *quedar* indicating location

  ➔ The combination **"se me"** (to me) with the reflexive verb **"quedan"** shows that something remains *for me* in a specific place, here **"en la punta de la lengua"**.

• acabo **diciendo** por siempre

  ➔ Verb *acabar* + gerund (present participle) expressing ongoing action

  ➔ The auxiliary **"acabo"** followed by the gerund **"diciendo"** conveys “I end up saying” or “I am saying” in a continuous sense.

• entre **estrellas** de Whisky el cansancio de ambos se **posa** en las duras banquetas

  ➔ Prepositional phrase *entre* + noun, inverted subject‑verb order, reflexive verb *posarse*

  ➔ The prepositional phrase **"entre estrellas"** sets the scene; the subject **"el cansancio"** appears after the verb **"se posa"**, an inverted order that adds poetic effect, and the reflexive verb indicates the fatigue *settles*.

• una **copa** de vino o un **ramo** de flor o una **carta** que diga cosas de la vida bonita

  ➔ Enumeration with *o* (or), noun + prepositional complement; relative clause *que diga*

  ➔ The line lists **copa**, **ramo**, and **carta** using **or** (*o*) and attaches the relative clause **"que diga"** to *carta*, describing its content.

• mi boca en forma de **trompeta** que toca una **nota** en tu labio de abajo

  ➔ Simile with *en forma de*, relative clause *que toca*

  ➔ The phrase **"en forma de trompeta"** creates a visual metaphor, and the relative clause **"que toca"** describes what the metaphorical trumpet does – it **"toca una nota"** on the lower lip.
