Letra:

[English]

I know you wanna leave me

But I refuse to let you go

If I have to beg and plead for your sympathy

I don't mind, 'cause you mean that much to me

Ain't too proud to beg and you know it (sweet darlin')

Please don't leave me girl (don't you go)

Ain't too proud to plead, baby, baby

Please don't leave me, girl (don't you go)

Now I heard a cryin' man

Is half a man, with no sense of pride

But if I have to cry to keep you

I don't mind weepin' if it'll keep you by my side

Ain't too proud to beg, sweet darlin'

Please don't leave me girl (don't you go)

Ain't too proud to plead, baby, baby

Please don't leave me girl (don't you go)

If I have to sleep on your doorstep

All night and day

Just to keep you from walkin' away

Let your friends laugh, even this I can stand

'Cause I wanna keep you, any way I can

Ain't too proud to beg (sweet darlin')

Please don't leave me girl (don't you go)

Ain't too proud to plead, baby, baby

Please don't leave me girl (don't you go)

...

Now I've gotta love so deep, in the pit of my heart

And each day it grows more and more

I'm not ashamed to come, and plead to you baby

If pleadin' keeps you from, walkin' out that door

Ain't too proud to beg and you know it (sweet darlin')

Please don't leave me girl (don't you go)

Ain't too proud to plead, baby, baby

Please don't leave me girl (don't you go)

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby (sweet darling')

...

Gramática:

  • I know you wanna leave me

    ➔ Contracción 'wanna' (want to)

    ➔ Es una contracción informal de "want to." Aunque gramaticalmente aceptable en contextos muy informales como letras de canciones, debe evitarse en la escritura formal. Aquí, el cantante está usando un lenguaje coloquial para expresar su vulnerabilidad.

  • If I have to beg and plead for your sympathy

    ➔ Oración condicional (Tipo 1) usando 'if'

    ➔ Esta línea utiliza una oración condicional de Tipo 1, que indica una condición posible y su probable resultado. La estructura es "If + presente simple, will/can/may + infinitivo". Aquí, "If I have to beg and plead" (condición), entonces "I don't mind" (resultado).

  • Ain't too proud to beg and you know it

    ➔ Contracción negativa 'Ain't'

    "Ain't" es una contracción coloquial de "am not," "is not," "are not," "has not," y "have not." Su uso generalmente se considera inglés no estándar, común en dialectos y el habla informal. Aquí, está reemplazando a "am not" o "is not."

  • Now I heard a cryin' man is half a man, with no sense of pride

    ➔ Cláusula relativa reducida: 'cryin' man'

    "cryin' man" es una forma abreviada de "a man who is crying" (un hombre que está llorando). El pronombre relativo "who is" se ha omitido, creando una frase más concisa e informal. El ' también es la forma hablada de crying

  • But if I have to cry to keep you

    ➔ Cláusula de propósito usando 'to'

    ➔ La frase "to keep you" expresa el propósito de llorar. Aclara por qué el hablante está dispuesto a llorar: para retener a la persona que ama.

  • If I have to sleep on your doorstep

    ➔ Frase preposicional: 'on your doorstep'

    ➔ La frase "on your doorstep" actúa como una frase adverbial, modificando el verbo "sleep". Indica dónde el hablante estaría dispuesto a dormir. Muestra el alcance de lo que está dispuesto a hacer.

  • Just to keep you from walkin' away

    ➔ Frase gerundio como objeto de preposición: 'from walkin' away'

    "walkin' away" es un gerundio (un verbo que actúa como sustantivo). La frase completa "from walkin' away" funciona como el objeto de la preposición "from." Esta estructura enfatiza el propósito de la acción descrita en la cláusula principal.

  • Now I've gotta love so deep, in the pit of my heart

    ➔ Coloquial 'gotta' (got to)

    "Gotta" es una contracción muy informal de "got to" o "have got to," que indica obligación o necesidad. Al igual que "wanna" y "ain't," su uso generalmente se limita al habla y la escritura informales, como las letras de canciones. En este contexto, muestra obligación o sentimiento fuerte, tengo que amar.
