Grammar:
-
Eckstein, Eckstein, alles muss versteckt sein
➔ Passive Voice with Modal Verb
➔ "muss versteckt sein" - 'must be hidden'. 'Muss' is a modal verb indicating necessity, and 'versteckt sein' is the passive infinitive construction. This sentence means 'Everything must be hidden'.
-
Wieder lieg ich auf der Lauer
➔ Inversion (Adverbial Fronting)
➔ Normally, the sentence structure would be 'Ich liege wieder auf der Lauer' (I am lying in wait again). Inversion is used here by putting 'Wieder' (again) at the beginning for emphasis, resulting in 'Wieder lieg ich auf der Lauer'.
-
Denn ich weiß, was du verlangst
➔ Subordinate Clause with "was"
➔ "was du verlangst" is a subordinate clause acting as the direct object of the main verb "weiß". "was" functions as a relative pronoun, meaning 'what'. The whole clause translates to 'what you desire/want'.
-
Wenn ich dich dann endlich habe
➔ Temporal Clause with "wenn" and Adverb "dann"
➔ "Wenn ich dich dann endlich habe" is a temporal clause introduced by "wenn" (when/if). "dann" (then) emphasizes the sequence of events. The clause means 'When/If I finally have you'.
