Letra:

[English]

Mmm, I bet you're wondering how I knew

Baby, baby, baby, 'bout your plans to make me blue (how?)

With some other girl you knew before

Between the two of us, girls, you know I love you more

It took me by surprise, I must say

When I found out yesterday

Don't you know that I heard it through the grapevine

(Oh, I heard it through the grapevine)

Not much longer would you be mine (not much longer would you be mine)

Don't you know that I heard it through the grapevine (oh, I heard it through the grapevine)

And I'm just about, just about, just about to lose my mind

Oh yes, I am (oh yes, I am, oh yes, I am, oh yes, I am)

Baby, won't you listen to me?

Boy, take a good look at these tears of mine

Baby, baby, these tears I can't hold, hold outside

Losing you would end my life, you see

Because you mean that much to me

You could've told me yourself

That you love somebody else

Instead, I heard it through the grapevine (oh, I heard it through the grapevine)

Oh, not much longer would you be mine (not much longer would you be mine)

Don't you know that I heard it (heard it)

Yes, I heard it (heard it through the grapevine)

Oh, just about, just about, just about to lose my mind

Oh yes, I am (oh yes, I am, oh yes, I am, oh yes, I am)

Go, go-o-o-o-o, go

Go, I gotta go

Whoa-whoa, if you gonna let me go

Whoa-whoa-whoa, I gotta go

Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa, I heard

Say you believe half of what you see (yes, I heard it)

Oh, ho, and none of what you hear (yes, I heard it)

Baby, but I just can't help being confused (yes, I heard it)

If it's true, please, baby, won't you tell me, dear? (Yes, I heard it)

Oh, oh-oh, do you plan to let me go

For the other girl you loved before?

Don't you know that I heard it through the grapevine

(Oh, I heard it through the grapevine)

Not much longer would you be mine (not much longer would you be mine)

Don't you know that I heard it (heard it)

Yes, I heard it (heard it through the grapevine)

Oh, I heard it (heard it)

Heard it (heard it-)

Gramática:

  • I bet you're wondering how I knew

    ➔ Presente continuo en pregunta indirecta

    ➔ El uso de 'wondering' (presente continuo) muestra un pensamiento o especulación en curso. 'How I knew' es una pregunta indirecta que actúa como el objeto de 'wondering'. El orden de las palabras cambia a una estructura de declaración (sujeto-verbo) dentro de la pregunta indirecta.

  • 'bout your plans to make me blue

    ➔ Infinitivo de propósito ('to make')

    ➔ La frase infinitiva "to make me blue" explica el propósito de los "plans". Aclara *por qué* existen los planes.

  • Not much longer would you be mine

    ➔ Inversión para énfasis (Condicional)

    ➔ El orden de las palabras típico sería "You would not be mine much longer". Invertir el verbo auxiliar "would" y el sujeto "you" añade énfasis, creando un efecto más dramático. Esto suena más poético o formal. A menudo implica una situación condicional, incluso si no se indica explícitamente.

  • Losing you would end my life, you see

    ➔ Gerundio como sujeto ('Losing') y Condicional ('would end')

    "Losing" es un gerundio (verbo que actúa como sustantivo) que funciona como el sujeto de la oración. "would end" expresa un resultado condicional; si ella lo perdiera, su vida terminaría.

  • You could've told me yourself

    ➔ Verbo modal de oportunidad perdida ('could have')

    "Could've told" (could have told) indica que la persona tenía la capacidad o la posibilidad de decírselo, pero no lo hizo. Expresa arrepentimiento o decepción por una oportunidad perdida.
