[English]

Oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh

Let me tell you a story of what happened,

On a gray day, he walked without a purpose.

He felt sad, enduring the pressure

Of believing that everything revolved around him.

I will never suffer for you.

You got lost in a world of glass,

Don't cry anymore and stop playing games.

He woke up dreaming of the cold in his feet,

He felt alone too, without knowing why.

Tears were always springing from a wall,

The face of the devil was perhaps laughing at him.

I will never suffer for you.

You got lost in a world of glass,

Don't cry anymore and stop playing games.

Ahhhhhhhhhh!

He spewed truths, writing them on paper,

He wanted to change everything, but the evil was within him.

He didn't realize that he had to suffer,

He had to hit rock bottom and survive.

I will never suffer for you.

You got lost in a world of glass,

Don't cry anymore and stop playing games.

I will never suffer for you.

You got lost in a world of glass,

Don't cry anymore and stop playing games.

[Spanish]

Oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh

Déjame contarte una historia que pasó,

En un día gris el caminaba sin razón.

Se sentía triste soportando la presión

De creer que todo gira a su alrededor.

No sufriré jamás por ti.

Te perdiste en un mundo de cristal,

No llores más y deja de jugar.

Se despertó soñando con el frío en los pies,

Se sentía solo también sin saber porqué.

Las lágrimas brotaban siempre de una pared,

La cara del diablo se reía quizá de él.

No sufriré jamás por ti.

Te perdiste en un mundo de cristal,

No llores más y deja de jugar.

Ahhhhhhhhhh!

Vomitó verdades escribiendo en un papel,

Quizo cambiar todo pero el mal estaba en él.

No se daba cuenta que tenía que sufrir,

Tenía que tocar el fondo y sobrevivir.

No sufriré jamás por ti.

Te perdiste en un mundo de cristal,

No llores más y deja de jugar.

No sufriré jamás por ti.

Te perdiste en un mundo de cristal,

No llores más y deja de jugar.

Key Grammar Structures

• Déjame contarte una historia que pasó

  ➔ "Déjame" combines 'deja' (let) and 'me' (me). 'Que pasó' is a relative clause describing the story.

• Se sentía triste soportando la presión

  ➔ Reflexive verb + Gerund (Present participle)

  ➔ "Se sentía" is the imperfect reflexive form. "Soportando" (enduring) acts as an adverbial modifier.

• No sufriré jamás por ti

  ➔ Future simple + 'jamás' (negative emphatic)

  ➔ "Sufriré" is 1st person future. "Jamás" adds a stronger sense of negation than 'nunca'.

• Te perdiste en un mundo de cristal

  ➔ Preterite tense + reflexive verb

  ➔ "Te perdiste" (you lost yourself) uses the preterite to describe a completed action in the past.

• Se despertó soñando con el frío en los pies

  ➔ Preterite + gerundial phrase

  ➔ "Se despertó" indicates the exact moment of waking up. "Soñando" describes the state during that action.

  ➔ Preterite + Instrumental gerund

  ➔ "Escribiendo" explains the method or way the truths were expressed.

  ➔ "Daba cuenta" is ongoing past perception. "Tenía que" expresses an internal necessity or fate.

• Tenía que tocar el fondo y sobrevivir

  ➔ Periphrastic obligation + Infinitive

  ➔ "Tocar el fondo" is an idiom (hitting rock bottom). The structure "Tener que + infinitive" conveys unavoidable destiny.
