Key Grammar Structures
-
Siempre vas rodando en la vida
➔ Present Continuous Tense (describing a habitual action)
➔ While the present continuous is usually used for actions happening now, it can also describe actions that happen often. "Vas rodando" means "you are always rolling," implying a continuous journey through life.
-
Y te ves tan decidida
➔ Ser/Estar + Adjective (describing a state)
➔ Uses the verb "verse" (reflexive) with the adjective "decidida" to express how someone appears or seems. The "tan" is an intensifier, meaning 'so' decided.
-
A buscar la luz que hay en todo
➔ Relative Clause with "que"
➔ "Que hay en todo" is a relative clause modifying "la luz". It means "that there is in everything".
-
Sé muy bien que eres valiente
➔ Subjunctive after Expressions of Emotion/Opinion ("que" clause)
➔ Although not grammatically required here, the indicative is used. After verbs of knowing like "sé" (from saber), you typically use the indicative because you're stating a fact. If the sentence was "No creo que seas valiente" (I don't think you are brave), you would need the subjunctive.
-
Para abrir nuevos caminos
➔ Infinitive Clause expressing Purpose ("Para + Infinitive")
➔ "Para abrir" (to open) expresses the purpose of the previous statement - why the song is with you.
-
Tienes el valor y vas a volar
➔ Ir + a + Infinitive (Near Future)
➔ "Vas a volar" means "you are going to fly". It indicates a future action that is planned or imminent.
-
Todo lo que quieras lo podrás alcanzar
➔ Relative Pronoun "lo que" and Future Tense with "poder"
➔ "Lo que quieras" means "that which you want" or "whatever you want". "Podrás alcanzar" (future of poder + infinitive) means "you will be able to reach/achieve".
