[English]

Hiding from the rain and snow

Trying to forget but I won't let go

Looking at a crowded street

Listening to my own heart beat

So many people all around the world

Tell me where do I find someone like you girl

Take me to your heart take me to your soul

Give me your hand before I'm old

Show me what love is - haven't got a clue

Show me that wonders can be true

They say nothing lasts forever

We're only here today

Love is now or never

Bring me far away

Take me to your heart take me to your soul

Give me your hand and hold me

Show me what love is - be my guiding star

It's easy take me to your heart

Standing on a mountain high

Looking at the moon through a clear blue sky

I should go and see some friends

But they don't really comprehend

Don't need too much talking without saying anything

All I need is someone who makes me wanna sing

Take me to your heart take me to your soul

Give me your hand before I'm old

Show me what love is - haven't got a clue

Show me that wonders can be true

They say nothing lasts forever

We're only here today

Love is now or never

Bring me far away

Take me to your heart take me to your soul

Give me your hand and hold me

Show me what love is - be my guiding star

It's easy take me to your heart

Take me to your heart take me to your soul

Give me your hand and hold me

Show me what love is - be my guiding star

It's easy take me to your heart

Key Grammar Structures

• Hiding from the rain and snow

  ➔ Present Participle as Adjective/Adverb

  ➔ The word "Hiding" is a present participle being used to describe the speaker's action or state. It implies an action that is in progress. It functions as an adverbial modifier, explaining the speaker's situation.

• Trying to forget but I won't let go

  ➔ Conjunction "but" to connect contrasting ideas.

  ➔ The conjunction "but" connects the speaker's attempt to forget with their unwillingness to let go of something (presumably a past relationship or feeling).

• Tell me where do I find someone like you girl

  ➔ Indirect Question (embedded question)

  ➔ This is an example of an indirect question. Instead of asking "Where do I find someone like you?", it is embedded within a statement: "Tell me where I do find someone like you". Note the subject-verb order change in the embedded question.

• Give me your hand before I'm old

  ➔ Conditional Clause with "before"

  ➔ The phrase "before I'm old" introduces a time constraint or condition. The request to "give me your hand" is contingent on it happening before the speaker ages.

• Show me what love is - haven't got a clue

  ➔ Ellipsis (omission of words)

  ➔ The phrase "haven't got a clue" is elliptical. The full sentence could be "I haven't got a clue". The pronoun and auxiliary verb are omitted for brevity and a more conversational tone.

• They say nothing lasts forever

  ➔ Indirect Speech/Reported Speech

  ➔ The statement "They say nothing lasts forever" reports what other people generally believe or say. It's a general truth presented as reported speech.

• Love is now or never

  ➔ Zero Conditional (with implied 'if')

  ➔ This statement implies a zero conditional situation. The implied "if" is something like: "If you want love, it has to be now, otherwise it will never happen."

• It's easy take me to your heart

  ➔ Imperative mood with ellipsis

  ➔ The sentence "It's easy take me to your heart" is a compressed and slightly grammatically incorrect way of saying "It's easy *to* take me to your heart" or more directly, the implied imperative is "Take me to your heart (because) it's easy". The word "to" is elided after 'easy'.
