Love Story
Letra:
[English]
We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes and the flashback starts
I'm standing there
On a balcony, in summer air
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
See you make your way through the crowd
And say, "Hello"
Little did I know
That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you, "Please don't go"
And I said
"Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince, and I'll be the princess
It's a love story, baby, just say yes"
So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while, oh, oh
'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"
But you were everything to me
I was begging you, "Please don't go"
And I said
"Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince, and I'll be the princess
It's a love story, baby, just say yes"
Romeo, save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but it's real
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
It's a love story, baby, just say yes
Oh, oh-oh
...
I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you was fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town
And I said
"Romeo, save me, I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you, but you never come
Is this in my head? I don't know what to think"
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring
And said
"Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be alone
I love you, and that's all I really know
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
It's a love story, baby, just say yes"
Oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh
'Cause we were both young when I first saw you
...

Gramática:

Little did I know that you were Romeo...
➔ Inversión con adverbio negativo: "Little did I know"
➔ Esta oración utiliza la inversión para enfatizar. En lugar de "I knew little...", se escribe como "Little did I know...". El verbo auxiliar "did" viene antes del sujeto "I". Agrega un sentido de sorpresa o ironía dramática. El pasado simple "were" sigue a 'that'.
-
Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
➔ Modo imperativo con un verbo modal en la cláusula relativa
➔ "Take" está en el modo imperativo, dando una orden directa. "Somewhere we "can" be alone" contiene una cláusula relativa que describe la ubicación. "Can" es el verbo modal que expresa posibilidad.

➔ Futuro continuo y construcción existencial "there is/are"
➔ "I'll be waiting" es el futuro continuo, que indica una acción que estará en progreso en un momento específico en el futuro. "All there's left to do" es una forma contraída de "All that is left to do", utilizando el existencial "there is/are" para indicar lo que queda.

We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew
➔ Oración condicional tipo 2 (hipotética) con una conjunción contraída
➔ Esta oración es una oración condicional tipo 2 porque describe una situación hipotética. "If they knew" (pasado simple) sugiere una condición que es poco probable que suceda. La cláusula de resultado "we're dead" expresa la consecuencia. "'Cause" es una forma contraída de "because".
-
I got tired of waiting Wondering if you were ever coming around
➔ Pasado simple, gerundio, pregunta indirecta con "if"
➔ "I got tired" está en pasado simple. "Waiting" es un gerundio, que actúa como el objeto de la preposición "of". "Wondering if you were ever coming around" contiene una pregunta indirecta. "If" introduce la pregunta dentro de la oración más grande.
-
I keep waiting for you, but you never come
➔ Presente continuo (acción habitual) contrastado con Presente simple (verdad general)
➔ "I keep waiting" usa "keep + -ing" para enfatizar una acción repetida o habitual, en este caso, una molesta. "You never come" está en presente simple, declarando una verdad general sobre las acciones de la otra persona.
