[English]

I fell in love and I think I was just passing through

Today I declare myself a crazy obsessed man

And don't be scared, it's not a bad thing

But it's because you are my long‑desired love

When I saw you I felt

Something that hadn't been here before

I wanted to choose for myself

And I decided on you

And now, drunk, I park myself at your window

To bring you the songs you love

To win your heart, flowers aren't that expensive

But they carry all the love from my soul

Because in February I'll come in front of you

With my questions, and you say yes

Make us a couple and see you happy

And very happy, like me, for you

Heritage of the Greats

Ask me what makes me fall in love

To describe a few moments to you

Also ask what I want with you

That you're happy being with me

And drunk, answer my call

To dedicate some sweet words to you

So drunk, I gather the courage to tell you everything

And I can describe how much I adore you

Tell you that I feel very happy

And excited to have you

I hope you want to be here

In love, looking at me

Looking at me

...

[Spanish]

Me enamoré y creo que me fui de paso

Hoy me declaro un loco obsesionado

Y no te espantes, pues no es nada malo

Pero es que tú eres mi amor anhelado

Cuando te vi sentí

Algo que ya no había aquí

Quise elegir por mí

Y me decidí por ti

Y ya borracho me parqueo por tu ventana

Para llevarte las canciones que te encantan

Pa enamorarte, las flores no son tan caras

Pero llevan todo el cariño de mi alma

Que pa en febrero vendré frente a ti

Con mis preguntas y digas que sí

Hacernos novios y verte feliz

Y muy contenta como yo por ti

Herencia de Grandes

Preguntame qué es lo que me enamora

Pa describirte unas cuantas horas

También pregunta qué quiero contigo

Que seas dichosa al estar conmigo

Y ya borracho contéstame la llamada

Pa dedicarte unas bonitas palabras

Así borracho me animo a decirte todo

Y puedo describir lo mucho que me encantas

Decirte que me siento muy feliz

Y emocionado por tenerte a ti

Espero que quieras estar aquí

Enamorada mirándome a mí

Mirándome a mí

Key Grammar Structures

• Me enamoré y creo que me fui de paso

  ➔ Preterite reflexive verb (me enamoré) and reflexive motion verb (me fui).

  ➔ The use of 'me' makes both verbs reflexive, showing the subject is affected by their own action.

• Hoy me declaro un loco obsesionado

  ➔ Reflexive verb in present tense (me declaro) plus object complement (un loco obsesionado).

  ➔ ‘Me declaro’ shows self-identification or self-description; it works like 'I declare myself as...'.

• Cuando te vi sentí algo que ya no había aquí

  ➔ Use of preterite tense in sequence (vi, sentí) and relative clause introduced by ‘que’.

  ➔ The verbs 'vi' and 'sentí' express completed actions. ‘Que ya no había aquí’ modifies ‘algo’.

• Y me decidí por ti

  ➔ Reflexive verb ‘decidirse por’ meaning to choose something emotionally.

  ➔ The reflexive form adds emotional involvement — 'me decidí por ti' means 'I made up my mind for you'.

• Y ya borracho me parqueo por tu ventana

  ➔ Colloquial present usage (me parqueo) indicating habitual or narrative immediacy.

  ➔ ‘Me parqueo’ uses a present reflexive form meaning ‘I park myself’, reflecting casual spoken usage.

• Para llevarte las canciones que te encantan

  ➔ Use of infinitive purpose clause (para + infinitive).

  ➔ ‘Para llevarte’ means ‘in order to bring you’, explaining purpose.

• Pa enamorarte, las flores no son tan caras

  ➔ Contraction of ‘para’ → ‘pa’ (informal speech) and infinitive purpose with direct object.

  ➔ ‘Pa enamorarte’ is informal for ‘para enamorarte’ meaning ‘to make you fall in love’.

• Espero que quieras estar aquí

  ➔ Use of present subjunctive (quieras) after expression of hope.

  ➔ ‘Que quieras’ is subordinate to ‘espero’; subjunctive shows uncertainty or emotional desire.
