Letra:

[English]

I bet you're wondering how I knew

About your plans to make me blue

With some other guy you knew before

Between the two of us guys

You know I loved 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

Not much longer would you be mine

Oh, I heard it through the grapevine

Oh, I'm just about to lose my mind

Honey, honey yeah

I heard it through the grapevine, not much longer would you be mine, baby

I know a man ain't supposed to cry

But these tears i can't hold inside

Losing you would end my life you see

Cause you mean that much to me

You could have told me yourself

That you loved someone else

Instead I heard it through the grapevine

Not much longer would you be mine

Oh, I heard it through the grapevine

Oh, I'm just about to lose my mind

Honey, honey yeah

I heard it through the grapevine, not much longer would you be mine, baby

People say believe half of what you see

Some and none of what you hear

But I can't help to be confused

If it's true please tell me dear

Do you plan to let me go

For the other guy you loved before

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

Not much longer would you be mine

Baby, i heard it through the grapevine

Oh, I'm just about to lose my mind

Honey, honey yeah

I heard it through the grapevine, not much longer would you be mine, baby

Honey, honey i know

I heard it through the grapevine, not much longer would you be mine, baby

That you letting me go

I say i heard it through the grapevine

Oh, I heard it through the grapevine

Gramática:

  • I bet you're wondering how I knew

    ➔ Pregunta indirecta después de 'wondering'

    ➔ La frase "how I knew" es una pregunta indirecta. En lugar de preguntar "How did I know?" (¿Cómo lo supe?), el hablante usa 'wondering' como una cláusula introductoria. El orden de las palabras en las preguntas indirectas sigue el orden sujeto-verbo, no el orden verbo-sujeto como en las preguntas directas.

  • About your plans to make me blue

    ➔ Infinitivo de propósito ('to make me blue')

    ➔ El infinitivo "to make me blue" explica el propósito de los "plans" (planes). Responde a la pregunta "¿Para qué son tus planes?". La respuesta es: Para hacerme triste (blue).

  • With some other guy you knew before

    ➔ Cláusula relativa (you knew before)

    "You knew before" es una cláusula relativa que modifica a "some other guy". El pronombre relativo (that/whom) se omite.

  • Between the two of us guys

    ➔ Preposición 'between' usada para dos entidades

    ➔ La preposición "between" se usa para indicar una relación o comparación que involucra a dos entidades. En este caso, destaca al hablante y al otro hombre.

  • It took me by surprise I must say

    ➔ Frase parentética ('I must say')

    "I must say" es una frase parentética que añade énfasis o una opinión personal a la declaración. Se puede eliminar sin afectar el significado central de la oración.

  • Not much longer would you be mine

    ➔ Inversión (would you be mine) para enfatizar

    ➔ Normalmente, la oración sería "You would not be mine much longer" (No serías mía mucho más). La inversión de "would" y "you" enfatiza la inminente pérdida y añade un efecto dramático.

  • I know a man ain't supposed to cry

    ➔ Contracción informal ('ain't') y 'supposed to'

    "Ain't" es una contracción no estándar de "am not", "is not", "are not", "has not", y "have not". "Supposed to" expresa obligación o expectativa.

  • But these tears i can't hold inside

    ➔ Omisión del pronombre relativo 'that' o 'which'

    ➔ La oración completa sería 'But these tears that I can't hold inside'. El pronombre relativo 'that' que conecta el sustantivo 'tears' y la cláusula 'I can't hold inside' se omite.
