Grammar:

  • We're about to go down

    ➔ 'Be about to' (Futuro inminente)

    ➔ La frase "we're about to" significa que una acción va a suceder muy pronto. Enfatiza la inmediatez del evento.

  • Wave your hands in the air like you don't care

    ➔ 'Like' como Conjunción (como si)

    ➔ En este contexto, "like" funciona como una conjunción que significa "como si" o "de la manera en que". Introduce una cláusula que describe cómo se realiza la acción (agitar las manos). Este uso es común en el inglés informal y las letras de canciones.

  • When you hear the call, you've got to get it on the way

    ➔ 'Have got to' (Obligación/Necesidad)

    ➔ "You've got to" (o "you have got to") es una forma informal de expresar una obligación o necesidad fuerte, similar a "you have to" o "you must". A menudo transmite que algo es crucial o inevitable.

  • No matter where you say it, you know that you'll be heard

    ➔ 'No matter where' (Cláusula Concesiva) + Voz Pasiva (Futuro Simple)

    ➔ "No matter where" introduce una cláusula concesiva, indicando que algo es cierto independientemente de la ubicación. La frase "you'll be heard" está en voz pasiva de futuro simple, lo que significa que la acción de "oír" será realizada sobre "ti" por otra persona.

  • Now all you sucker DJs who think you're fly

    ➔ Pronombre relativo 'who' (Cláusula relativa definitoria)

    ➔ La palabra "who" es un pronombre relativo que introduce una cláusula relativa definitoria ("who think you're fly"). Esta cláusula proporciona información esencial sobre los "sucker DJs", especificando a qué DJs se refiere.

  • There's got to be a reason

    ➔ 'There's got to be' (Necesidad/Certeza informal de existencia)

    ➔ "There's got to be" es una expresión informal que indica que algo debe existir o debe ser cierto. Es similar a "There must be" pero tiene un tono ligeramente más enfático o coloquial, transmitiendo una fuerte creencia o certeza.

  • You try to put on those airs and act real cool

    ➔ Verbo frasal 'put on airs' (Modismo) + 'real' como adverbio informal

    ➔ "To put on airs" es un verbo frasal idiomático que significa comportarse de una manera que muestra que uno se cree más importante o superior de lo que realmente es. "Real cool" usa "real" de manera informal como un adverbio que significa "realmente" o "muy", modificando el adjetivo "cool".

  • If there's music, we can use it, be free to dance

    ➔ Primer Condicional + 'be free to'

    ➔ Esta oración utiliza el primer condicional para expresar una posibilidad real en el presente o futuro: si existe música, entonces una acción (usarla y bailar libremente) puede suceder. "Be free to" significa tener el permiso o la capacidad de hacer algo sin restricciones.

  • you know just what to do

    ➔ Palabra Wh- + infinitivo (Cláusula Nominal)

    ➔ La estructura "what to do" es una cláusula nominal, funcionando como el objeto del verbo "know". Es una forma abreviada de una pregunta indirecta como "what you should do", proporcionando información sobre una acción necesaria.
