Gramática:

Get up in the morning, slaving for bread, sir

➔ Participio presente como adjetivo/adverbio

➔ "Slaving" es un participio presente que actúa como modificador adverbial, describiendo cómo se levanta por la mañana. Significa que se levanta mientras está trabajando duramente para ganar el pan. Esto muestra una acción simultánea.
So that every mouth can be fed

➔ Cláusula subordinada de propósito usando "so that"

➔ "So that" introduce una cláusula que expresa el propósito de la acción. En este caso, el propósito de trabajar duro es "que cada boca pueda ser alimentada".
My wife and my kids, they packed up and a-leave me

➔ Inglés no estándar: Omisión de "have" en el pretérito perfecto compuesto y prefijo "a-" (dialectal)

➔ El inglés estándar sería "My wife and my kids, they *have* packed up and *have* left me." La "a-" antes de "leave" es dialectal, probablemente patois jamaiquino, indicando un aspecto continuo o progresivo (similar a "are leaving").
Darling, she said, "I was yours to receive"

➔ Voz pasiva en pasado en una cita indirecta / Estilo indirecto

➔ La declaración original probablemente fue "I am yours to receive." En el estilo indirecto, el tiempo verbal retrocede al pasado. La construcción pasiva enfatiza que ella era un objeto para ser recibido, no el actor.
Shirt, them a-tear up, trousers are gone

➔ Inglés no estándar: Omisión de la cópula ("is/are"), topicalización, prefijo "a-" (dialectal)

➔ Inglés estándar: "My shirt, it is being torn up; my trousers are gone." Topicalización: "Shirt" se coloca al principio para énfasis. La "a-" antes de "tear" es la misma característica dialectal que antes, sugiriendo un aspecto progresivo: están en el proceso de ser desgarrados.
I don't want to end up like Bonnie and Clyde

➔ Infinitivo de propósito después de "want"

➔ "To end up like Bonnie and Clyde" explica *por qué* no quiere algo. Expresa el propósito que quiere evitar. "Want" a menudo es seguido por un infinitivo para expresar una acción o estado deseado.
After a storm, there must be a calm

➔ Verbo modal "must" expresando certeza/necesidad (filosófica)

➔ Aquí, "must" no es una obligación estricta, sino que transmite una fuerte creencia o expectativa de que la calma *inevitablemente* seguirá a una tormenta. Es una declaración de una verdad o principio general.
