[English]
How wonderful to know
That, if I go far away
When I return
They will be at home
All those songs
That we learned together
How nice it is to have
So much confidence
That in the distance
Even if you're far away
I feel you so close
In the early mornings
And I'm grateful to know
That life, my love
Walking beautifully
Is something I desire
To always come back home
To be with you
And I'm grateful to understand
A humble choice
Walking beautifully
Every day I choose
Because life is mountains I want to cross
Together
...
How wonderful it is to know
That if I go far away
When I return
A hug will be
Waiting in silence
Until I wake up
Those bitter drinks
Those cloudy days
Some stumbles
Walking by your side
Turn into wind embracing my body and there we fly
And I'm grateful to know
That life, my love
Walking beautifully
Is something I desire
To always return home
To be with you
And I'm grateful to understand
A humble choice
Walking beautifully
Every day I choose
Because life is mountains I want to cross
Together
Every day I choose
Because life is mountains I want to cross
Together
Every day I choose
Because life is mountains
That I want to cross
Together

Key Grammar Structures

  • Qué bonito saber que, si lejos me voy, cuando yo regrese, en la casa estarán todas esas canciones que nos aprendimos.

    ➔ Conditional clause with "si" + future indicative

    ➔ The clause "si lejos me voy" expresses a possible future condition, followed by the main clause "cuando yo regrese" (when I return).

  • Qué bonito es tener tanta seguridad de que en la distancia, aunque lejos estés, tan cerquita te siento.

    ➔ Concessive clause with "aunque" + present subjunctive

    ➔ The phrase "aunque lejos estés" uses "aunque" + subjunctive to express a contrast: "even though you are far away".

  • Y agradezco saber que la vida, mi amor, caminar bonito es algo que deseo.

    ➔ Relative clause with "que" after a noun ("algo que deseo")

    ➔ The phrase "algo "que" deseo" means "something **that** I want", where "que" introduces a relative clause.

  • Regresar siempre a casa para estar contigo.

    ➔ Infinitive purpose clause with "para" + infinitive

    "para estar contigo" means "in order **to be** with you"; "para" introduces the purpose.

  • Cada día yo elijo, pues la vida son montañas que yo quiero atravesar.

    ➔ Contrast conjunction "pues" meaning "because/so"; relative clause "que yo quiero atravesar"

    "pues" introduces a reason: "because"; the relative clause "que yo quiero atravesar" means "that I want to cross".

  • Un abrazo estará esperando en silencio hasta que despierte.

    ➔ Future progressive "estará esperando"; temporal clause with "hasta que" + subjunctive

    ➔ The verb phrase "estará esperando" (will be waiting) shows ongoing future action; "hasta que despierte" means "until he/she/it wakes up" and requires the subjunctive "despierte".

  • Esos tragos amargos, esos días nublados, algunos tropiezos caminando a tu lado se convierten en viento abrazando mi cuerpo y ahí volamos.

    ➔ Passive construction "se convierten en"; gerundial phrase "abrazando mi cuerpo"

    ➔ The phrase "se convierten **en** viento" uses the reflexive passive "se convierten" plus "en" to show transformation; "abrazando mi cuerpo" is a gerund meaning "hugging my body".

  • Y agradezco entender una humilde elección, caminar bonito.

    ➔ Infinitive of perception "agradezco entender"; noun phrase as subject "caminar bonito"

    "agradezco entender" means "I appreciate **understanding**"; the infinitive "entender" functions as the object of "agradezco". "Caminar bonito" acts as a noun phrase meaning "beautiful walking".

  • Que si lejos me voy, cuando yo regrese, un abrazo estará esperando en silencio.

    ➔ Conditional clause with "si" + future; temporal clause "cuando" + present indicative

    "si lejos me voy" sets a future condition; "cuando yo regrese" introduces the moment of return, both linking to the main clause "un abrazo estará esperando".
