Key Grammar Structures
-
Un rayo de sol, uoh-oh-oh Me trajo tu amor, uoh-oh-oh
➔ Preterite tense (trajo)
➔ The verb "trajo" (brought) is in the preterite tense, indicating a completed action in the past. It emphasizes that the sunshine definitively brought his/her love.
-
Llegó y me dio tu querer Que tanto y tanto busqué
➔ Use of "que" as a relative pronoun.
➔ "Que" connects the clause "tanto y tanto busqué" to "tu querer", creating a relative clause that modifies "tu querer". It indicates that the love is what the speaker has been searching for.
-
Y quiero ser parte tuya Dentro de ti siempre estar
➔ Use of the infinitive (estar) after a preposition (de).
➔ After prepositions like "de", verbs are generally used in their infinitive form. "Dentro de ti siempre estar" translates to 'to always be inside of you'.
-
Ser quien construya Tu alegría y felicidad
➔ Subjunctive mood (construya) after "quien".
➔ The verb "construya" is in the subjunctive mood because it follows "quien" (who) and expresses a desire or hope rather than a certainty. The speaker hopes to be the one who builds the other person's happiness.
-
Seré quien vele tus sueños
➔ Future simple tense (seré) and subjunctive mood (vele) after "quien".
➔ "Seré" is in the future simple, indicating a future action. "Vele" is in the subjunctive, as explained in the above example. The speaker is expressing their future intent to watch over the other person's dreams.
