Key Grammar Structures

• Quiero envolverme en tus brazos

  ➔ Querer + Reflexive Infinitive

  ➔ This structure ("Quiero" + "envolverme") expresses a desire to perform an action on "oneself". "envolverme" is the reflexive infinitive of "envolver" (to wrap), meaning "to wrap myself".

• Que no quede entre tú y yo un espacio

  ➔ Subjunctive after implicit desire/will

  ➔ The subjunctive verb "quede" (from "quedar") is used here. While there isn't an explicit introductory phrase like "Espero que...", the "que" implies a desire or wish (e.g., "I wish that no space remains..."). This is common in song lyrics or informal speech.

• Seré el sabor de tu boca

  ➔ Simple Future Tense (Futuro Simple)

  ➔ The verb "Seré" is the first-person singular form of "ser" (to be) in the simple future tense. It expresses a future state or a promise/determination about what the speaker will be.

• Impregnarme en tu ser

  ➔ Reflexive Infinitive (Infinitivo Reflexivo)

  ➔ "Impregnarme" is the reflexive infinitive of "impregnar" (to impregnate, to permeate). The suffix "-me" indicates that the action is performed by the subject upon itself, here meaning "to permeate myself" or "to become deeply embedded."

• Yo no te pido la luna

  ➔ Idiomatic Expression + Indirect/Direct Object Pronouns in Negation

  ➔ "Pedir la luna" is an idiom meaning "to ask for the impossible." The structure "no te pido" shows the negation ("no") placed before the conjugated verb and the indirect object pronoun ("te" - to you) placed before the verb.

• Quiero ser esa locura que vibra muy dentro de ti

  ➔ Relative Clause with 'que'

  ➔ The word "que" introduces a relative clause ("que vibra muy dentro de ti") which modifies the noun "locura". It acts as the subject of the verb "vibra" within the clause.

• De rescatar esta piel y robarme esa estrella

  ➔ Preposition 'de' + Infinitive + Reflexive/Dative Pronoun with Infinitive

  ➔ The preposition "de" often precedes an infinitive to express purpose, cause, or to complete a preceding noun/verb (here, likely complementing "el momento de..."). "robarme" shows a dative or reflexive pronoun attached to the infinitive, indicating "to steal for myself" or "to steal from me."

• Que vemos tú y yo al hacer el amor

  ➔ Preposition 'al' + Infinitive (al + infinitivo)

  ➔ The construction "al" + infinitive is equivalent to "when" or "upon" doing something. Here, "al hacer el amor" means "when making love" or "upon making love."

• Esperemos todos los inviernos

  ➔ Subjunctive as an imperative/wish (Nosotros form)

  ➔ The verb "Esperemos" is the first-person plural (nosotros) form of "esperar" (to wait for/hope) in the present subjunctive. This form is often used to express a suggestion, a command (like an imperative for "us"), or a wish. Here, it conveys a collective hope or a proposal.

• Bésame y en mis labios hallarás calor

  ➔ Imperative + Future Tense

  ➔ "Bésame" is an affirmative tú-imperative of "besar" (to kiss) with the direct object pronoun "me" attached. "hallarás" is the second-person singular future tense of "hallar" (to find). This structure links a command/request to a future consequence.
