Te Juro Que No Hay Un Segundo Que No Piense En Ti

• By: Antonio Orozco, Dani Martín

Lyrics:

[Español]

[English]

Te prometo que más que mirarte

I promise you, more than just looking at you

Estaba pensando en quedarme a vivir

I was thinking about staying here to live

Lo prometo, me faltaba el aire

I promise, I was out of breath

Me temblaban la' mano', me quería morir

My hands were shaking, I wanted to die

Te prometo que no hay un segundo que no piense en ti

I promise you, there's not a second that I don't think of you

Te prometo que hace algún tiempo

I promise you, some time ago

Que yo no cantaba canciones así

That I didn't sing songs like this

Lo prometo, no lo buscaba

I promise, I wasn't looking for it

Ha sido la vida que nos trajo hasta aquí

It was life that brought us here

Te juro que no hay un segundo que no piense en ti

I swear there's not a second that I don't think of you

El amor es así, lo quiero decir

Love is like this, I want to say it

Llevaba una vida esperándote aquí

I've spent a lifetime waiting for you here

Y ahora tan cerca y comiéndote a versos

And now so close, devouring you with verses

Dame la mano y confía en mí

Give me your hand and trust in me

Es imposible, no me lo creo

It's impossible, I don't believe it

Es el momento, toca vivir

It's the moment, time to live

Enséñame a querer

Teach me to love

Enséñame a creer

Teach me to believe

Juro que no hay un segundo que no piense en ti

I swear there's not a second that I don't think of you

Te prometo que quiero fugarme

I promise you, I want to run away

Estaba pensando en pedírtelo a ti

I was thinking about asking you

Hoy me sobra la poca vergüenza

Today I have more than enough courage

Me faltan palabras y decírtelo así

I lack the words to tell you like this

Juro que no hay un segundo que no piense en ti

I swear there's not a second that I don't think of you

El amor es así, lo quiero decir

Love is like this, I want to say it

Llevaba una vida esperándote aquí

I've spent a lifetime waiting for you here

Y ahora tan cerca y comiéndote a versos

And now so close, devouring you with verses

Dame la mano y confía en mí

Give me your hand and trust in me

Es imposible, no me lo creo

It's impossible, I don't believe it

Es el momento, toca vivir

It's the moment, time to live

Enséñame a querer

Teach me to love

Enséñame a creer

Teach me to believe

Te juro que no hay un segundo que no piense en ti

I swear there's not a second that I don't think of you

Te juro que no queda un verso que no hable de ti

I swear there isn't a verse left that doesn't talk about you

El amor es así, lo quiero decir

Love is like this, I want to say it

Llevaba una vida esperándote aquí

I've spent a lifetime waiting for you here

Y ahora tan cerca y comiéndote a versos

And now so close, devouring you with verses

Dame la mano y confía en mí

Give me your hand and trust in me

Es imposible, no me lo creo

It's impossible, I don't believe it

Es el momento, toca vivir

It's the moment, time to live

Enséñame a querer

Teach me to love

Enséñame a creer

Teach me to believe

Te juro que no hay un segundo que no piense en ti

I swear there's not a second that I don't think of you

Te juro que no queda un verso que no hable de ti

I swear there isn't a verse left that doesn't talk about you

Buenos días, papá

Good morning, Dad

Hambre no tengo, te daría unas galletas

I'm not hungry, I'd give you some cookies

Te quiero mucho

I love you very much

Hoy me sobra la poca vergüenza

Today I have more than enough courage

Me faltan palabras y decírtelo así

I lack the words to tell you like this

Grammar:

• Te prometo que más que mirarte Estaba pensando en quedarme a vivir

  ➔ Imperfect Tense (Estaba pensando) + Infinitive (quedarme)

  ➔ Use of the imperfect tense "Estaba pensando" describes an ongoing action in the past. "Quedarme" is the infinitive form used after the verb "pensar en".

• Me temblaban la' mano', me quería morir

  ➔ Imperfect Tense (Temblaban, Quería) + Idiomatic Expression (Morir)

  ➔ "Temblaban" and "quería" are in the imperfect tense, describing a state or feeling in the past. "Me quería morir" is an idiomatic expression, meaning 'I felt like I was going to die'.

• Te juro que no hay un segundo que no piense en ti

  ➔ Subjunctive mood (piense)

  ➔ The phrase "que no piense en ti" uses the subjunctive mood because it is part of a relative clause expressing a general statement that may not be factual or certain, dependent on the main clause's assertion of a negative.

• Llevaba una vida esperándote aquí

  ➔ Imperfect Progressive (Llevaba esperándote)

  ➔ "Llevaba esperándote" is in the imperfect progressive tense, indicating an action that was ongoing for a period of time in the past before another event.

• Y ahora tan cerca y comiéndote a versos

  ➔ Gerund (comiéndote) + Preposition 'a'

  ➔ "Comiéndote" is a gerund, indicating an action in progress. The preposition 'a' is used in the construction 'comer a besos/versos' to express the manner of eating (with kisses/verses).

• Es imposible, no me lo creo

  ➔ Reflexive Pronoun (me) + Present Tense (creo)

  ➔ "No me lo creo" uses the reflexive pronoun "me" because the action of believing affects the speaker himself. "Creo" is the present tense form.

• Hoy me sobra la poca vergüenza Me faltan palabras y decírtelo así

  ➔ Indirect Object Pronouns (me) + verb ser/sobrar/faltar + infinitive (decirtelo)

  ➔ The structure "me sobra/falta" indicates what the subject has plenty of/lacks. "Decírtelo" is an infinitive with combined pronouns.
