[English]

I promise you, more than just looking at you

I was thinking about staying here to live

I promise, I was out of breath

My hands were shaking, I wanted to die

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

I promise you, some time ago

That I didn't sing songs like this

I promise, I wasn't looking for it

It was life that brought us here

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

Love is like this, I want to say it

I've spent a lifetime waiting for you here

And now so close, devouring you with verses

Give me your hand and trust in me

It's impossible, I don't believe it

It's the moment, time to live

Teach me to love

Teach me to believe

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

I promise you, I want to run away

I was thinking about asking you

Today I have more than enough courage

I lack the words to tell you like this

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

Love is like this, I want to say it

I've spent a lifetime waiting for you here

And now so close, devouring you with verses

Give me your hand and trust in me

It's impossible, I don't believe it

It's the moment, time to live

Teach me to love

Teach me to believe

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

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

Love is like this, I want to say it

I've spent a lifetime waiting for you here

And now so close, devouring you with verses

Give me your hand and trust in me

It's impossible, I don't believe it

It's the moment, time to live

Teach me to love

Teach me to believe

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

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

Good morning, Dad

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

I love you very much

Today I have more than enough courage

I lack the words to tell you like this

...

[Spanish]

Te prometo que más que mirarte

Estaba pensando en quedarme a vivir

Lo prometo, me faltaba el aire

Me temblaban la' mano', me quería morir

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

Te prometo que hace algún tiempo

Que yo no cantaba canciones así

Lo prometo, no lo buscaba

Ha sido la vida que nos trajo hasta aquí

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

El amor es así, lo quiero decir

Llevaba una vida esperándote aquí

Y ahora tan cerca y comiéndote a versos

Dame la mano y confía en mí

Es imposible, no me lo creo

Es el momento, toca vivir

Enséñame a querer

Enséñame a creer

Juro que no hay un segundo que no piense en ti

Te prometo que quiero fugarme

Estaba pensando en pedírtelo a ti

Hoy me sobra la poca vergüenza

Me faltan palabras y decírtelo así

Juro que no hay un segundo que no piense en ti

El amor es así, lo quiero decir

Llevaba una vida esperándote aquí

Y ahora tan cerca y comiéndote a versos

Dame la mano y confía en mí

Es imposible, no me lo creo

Es el momento, toca vivir

Enséñame a querer

Enséñame a creer

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

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

El amor es así, lo quiero decir

Llevaba una vida esperándote aquí

Y ahora tan cerca y comiéndote a versos

Dame la mano y confía en mí

Es imposible, no me lo creo

Es el momento, toca vivir

Enséñame a querer

Enséñame a creer

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

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

Buenos días, papá

Hambre no tengo, te daría unas galletas

Te quiero mucho

Hoy me sobra la poca vergüenza

Me faltan palabras y decírtelo así

• 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.

  ➔ 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'

• 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.
