Letra:

[English]

Tell her try your best, just to make it quick

Woman tend to the sick

'Cah there must be something she can do

This heart is broken in two

Tell her it's a case of emergency

There's a patient, by the name of Gregory

Night nurse

Only you alone can quench this here thirst

My night nurse (oh, gosh)

Oh, the pain is getting worse

I don't wanna see no Doc'

I need attendance from my nurse around the clock

'Cause there's no prescription for me

She's the one, the only remedy

Night nurse

Only you alone, can quench this here thirst

My night nurse

Oh, the pain is getting worse

I'm hurt by love

...

I don't wanna see no Doc'

I need attendance from my nurse around the clock

For there's no prescription for me

She's the one, the only remedy

Night nurse

Only you alone can quench this here thirst

My night nurse

Oh, the pain is getting worse

I'm hurt, my love

And I'm sure

No doctor can cure

...

Night nurse

Night nurse

Oh, gosh

...

Gramática:

  • Tell her try your best, just to make it quick

    ➔ Imperativo + Infinitivo de propósito

    "Tell her try your best" usa el imperativo "tell" para instruir a alguien. "to make it quick" emplea el infinitivo "to make" para explicar el propósito de dar lo mejor de uno.

  • Woman tend to the sick

    ➔ Imperativo (implícito) / Declaración general

    ➔ Esta línea se puede interpretar de dos maneras: un imperativo implícito, que significa "¡Mujer, atiende a los enfermos!", o una declaración general de propósito/rol. El contexto sugiere lo primero.

  • 'Cah there must be something she can do

    ➔ Verbo modal de deducción (must) + Cláusula relativa (she can do)

    "Must be" expresa una fuerte deducción o suposición. "Something she can do" es una cláusula relativa que modifica "something".

  • This heart is broken in two

    ➔ Voz pasiva (is broken) + Frase preposicional (in two)

    "Is broken" es la forma pasiva del verbo "break", indicando que el corazón es el receptor de la acción. "In two" es una frase preposicional que indica la extensión del daño.

  • Only you alone can quench this here thirst

    ➔ Verbo modal (can) + Énfasis (Only...alone) + Adjetivo demostrativo (this here)

    "Can quench" expresa habilidad. "Only you alone" agrega énfasis, reforzando que solo la persona a la que se dirige puede satisfacer la necesidad. "This here thirst" usa el adjetivo demostrativo "this" y "here" (coloquialismo) para señalar directamente la sed específica que siente el hablante.

  • I don't wanna see no Doc'

    ➔ Doble negación (no estándar)

    ➔ La frase "I don't wanna see no Doc'" usa una doble negación, que es común en algunos dialectos pero se considera inglés no estándar. En inglés estándar, sería "I don't want to see any doctor", o "I want to see no doctor".

  • I need attendance from my nurse around the clock

    ➔ Sustantivo + Frase preposicional de posesión (attendance from my nurse) + Frase preposicional de tiempo (around the clock)

    "Attendance from my nurse" indica quién está brindando la atención. "Around the clock" es una expresión idiomática que significa constantemente, 24 horas al día.

  • No doctor can cure

    ➔ Determinante negativo (No) + Verbo modal (can)

    "No doctor" actúa como sujeto, y el determinante negativo "no" enfatiza que absolutamente ningún médico puede proporcionar una cura. "Can cure" expresa habilidad (o en este caso, inhabilidad).
