I Heard It Through The Grapevine
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-)

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.

➔ 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.
