Key Grammar Structures

• Amor que me desgarras, Que me partes de miedo

  ➔ Relative Pronoun 'que' introducing a relative clause modifying 'Amor'.

  ➔ The pronoun "que" links the noun 'Amor' to the clauses that describe it. 'Que me desgarras' means 'that tears me apart', and 'Que me partes de miedo' means 'that fills me with fear'.

• Amor de tantas dudas Y remordimientos, Que a veces me callo, Que a veces me creo

  ➔ Use of 'a veces' + present simple to express habitual actions or occurrences. Relative Pronoun 'que' introducing a relative clause.

  ➔ 'A veces me callo' means 'Sometimes I keep quiet', illustrating a recurring action. The 'que' again introduces descriptive clauses.

• Amor que es tan letal Como una puñalada

  ➔ Comparison using 'tan...como' (as...as).

  ➔ The phrase 'tan letal como una puñalada' means 'as lethal as a stab'. It's a direct comparison of the love's deadliness to the deadliness of being stabbed.

• Amor es no tenerte Y no haberte olvidado

  ➔ Use of the infinitive after 'es' to define or describe. 'Haber' + past participle (haber olvidado) - present perfect subjunctive (though here it acts as an infinitive)

  ➔ 'Amor es no tenerte' means 'Love is not having you'. 'Y no haberte olvidado' means 'and not having forgotten you'. The infinitive phrases describe what love *is* in this context.

• Toda mi vida se apaga, Mi mundo se ciega... Amor, es pedirte Y gritarte que vuelvas

  ➔ Use of 'se' + verb to indicate a passive or impersonal construction. Subjunctive mood after 'que' when expressing a request or command (vuelvas).

  ➔ 'Toda mi vida se apaga' means 'My whole life fades away'. The verb 'apagar' is conjugated with 'se', indicating that the action is happening to 'vida' without specifying an actor. 'Gritarte que vuelvas' uses the subjunctive 'vuelvas' because it is a request.

• Que estoy de bajada, Mi alma está en quiebra...

  ➔ Idiomatic expression 'estar de bajada' (to be on a downturn). Use of 'estar' + prepositional phrase to express a state.

  ➔ 'Estoy de bajada' means 'I am on a downturn' or 'I am going downhill', expressing a state of decline or hardship. 'Mi alma está en quiebra' means 'My soul is bankrupt', indicating a state of emotional ruin.

• A qué condena y qué dolor Me has sentenciado

  ➔ Interrogative sentence with inverted subject and verb ('Me has sentenciado' vs. 'Has sentenciado'). Use of 'qué' (what) as an interrogative adjective modifying 'condena' and 'dolor'.

  ➔ 'A qué condena y qué dolor Me has sentenciado' means 'To what condemnation and what pain have you sentenced me?'. The question emphasizes the severity of the sentence or judgment imposed by the subject of the love.
