[English]

[music]

She already, she already. Uh ah. She already. She

[music] already, she already. Uh ah. She already.

Uh. Elfo. Yes. The little kid, the

spoiled one. Uh.

Tell me who that crazy guy was, the one who leaves you

broken and your heart in pieces. Because of

that damn guy. [music]

You won't give me a chance. Let go of the rope

just a little bit. Mix your fear [music] and

my romance, because I've already bought the wine.

We'll see what happens later. [music] Soon

I'll catch you, my queen. I don't know, and I

[music] play if you aren't nervous. I've

already learned a few things about you; in that heart,

[music] very few people fit, just like

the funny one.

And if you aren't nervous [music]

about you, I've learned a few things; in that

heart, very few people fit, like

the funny one. [music]

I won't let you down. No, no, I won't

cheat on you. I know you think we

don't fit anymore, but instinct is going to

betray you. [music] Your life is missing

flavor. Come here mami, I can

season it for you. It's been a while since I had a soak,

but if it's with you [music] I want to

get wet, ay. The slingshot, the slingshot, the

calm [music]

of the calm, Guainabo. And from Guainabo

we go back to the palm [music] a little dip

in the north, and that way you refresh your soul.

It doesn't matter if we don't [music] reach the

groom, let's kiss in the water and let

[music] the whole world see us,

let the whole beach see us, let them

[music] be jealous, even though

we are nothing. Life is beautiful because with

her, you're angry.

It's time for you to make peace

[music] with whatever is keeping you tied down.

We'll see what happens later. [music] Soon

I'll catch you, my queen. I don't know

and I play if you aren't nervous. And I

[music] learned a few things; in

that heart, very few people fit, like

the funny one, and if [music] you aren't

nervous about you, I've learned a few things;

in that heart, very few people fit, like

the funny one.

Knowing it, you [music]

knowing it, I.

It's not

[music]

tight. Turn it up.

How beautiful, Uh,

how beautiful.

Let's do it [music] today, my girl.

Let's get to know each other, right? Yes. And let's

do it today, my girl, let's get to know each other,

right? Hey, let's do it today, my girl,

let's [music] learn it. Yes. And let's

do it today, my girl. Let's [music]

learn it. Hey, I want to spend my days

with you. I want to marry you, travel

the [music] world with you. I couldn't

ask for more.

You were already with a bandit who

lied in your ear, [music] but now you

are with me. That won't

happen again.

We'll see what [music] happens later.

Soon I'll catch you,

my queen. I didn't let myself go. And I play if

you aren't nervous. I learned a few

things; in that heart [music] very

few people fit, like the funny one.

And if you aren't nervous about you, I've

learned a few things. In that heart,

[music] very few people fit, like the funny one.

She already, she already. Uh ah. She already. She

already. [music] She already. Uh ah. She already.

[music]

She already, she already, she already. Ah, she

[music] already.

Come [music] over here.

I'll see you at the funny one.

Key Grammar Structures

• Dime quién fue ese loquito que te deja rota y el corazón en pedacito.

  ➔ Relative clause with 'que'

  ➔ The relative pronoun "que" links the noun "loquito" to the description of his actions.

• No te voy a fallar.

  ➔ Periphrastic future (Ir a + infinitive)

  ➔ Used to express an intention or a plan in the near future: "voy a" + "fallar".

• Yo sé que piensas que no encajamos más.

  ➔ Subordinate clause of opinion (indicative vs subjunctive)

  ➔ The verb "sé" (know) triggers the indicative "piensas" because it states a perceived reality.

• Vente mami que yo la puedo sazonar.

  ➔ Imperative (affirmative tu) + Modal verb

  ➔ "Vente" is the imperative form of "venir" + reflexive pronoun; "puedo" is the modal verb of ability.

• Que nos vea todo el mundo.

  ➔ Subjunctive for wishes/desires

  ➔ The subjunctive "vea" is used here after an implicit "que" expressing a wish or desire.

• Tú ya estuviste con un bandido que te mentía al oído.

  ➔ Preterite vs Imperfect (aspectual contrast)

  ➔ "Estuviste" (preterite) denotes a completed state, while "mentía" (imperfect) denotes a repeated action in the past.

• Ya es hora de que hagas las pases con lo que te mantienen atada.

  ➔ Subjunctive in temporal expressions

  ➔ The structure "es hora de que" requires the verb in the subjunctive mood ("hagas").

• No sé de ajedrez y yo juego si no estás nerviosa.

  ➔ Conditional 'if' clause (Real condition)

  ➔ This is a first conditional sentence expressing a real possibility: "si" + indicative.
