Sailor Song
Letra:
[English]
I saw her in the rightest way
Looking like Anne Hathaway
Laughing while she hit her pen
And coughed, and coughed
And then she came up to my knees
Begging, "Baby, would you please
Do the things you said you'd do
To me, to me?"
Oh, won't you kiss me on the mouth and love me like a sailor?
And when you get a taste, can you tell me what's my flavor?
I don't believe in God, but I believe that you're my savior
My mom says that she's worried, but I'm covered in this favor
And when we're getting dirty, I forget all that is wrong
I sleep so I can see you, 'cause I hate to wait so long
I sleep so I can see you, and I hate to wait so long
...
She took my fingers to her mouth
The kind of thing that makes you proud
That nothing else had ever
Worked out, worked out
And lately, I've tried other things
But nothing can capture the sting
Of the venom she's gonna
Spit out right now
Oh, won't you kiss me on the mouth and love me like a sailor?
And when you get a taste, can you tell me what's my flavor?
I don't believe in God, but I believe that you're my savior
I know that you've been worried, but you're dripping in my favor
And when we're getting dirty, I forget all that is wrong
I sleep so I can see you, 'cause I hate to wait so long
I sleep so I can see you, and I hate to wait so long
And we can run away to the walls inside your house
I can be the cat, baby, you can be the mouse
And we can laugh off things that we know nothing about
We can go forever, until you wanna sit it out
...

-
Baby, would you please do the things you said you'd do to me, to me?
➔ Oraciones condicionales (tipo mixto), Modal de pasado ('would') para peticiones, Cláusulas relativas
➔ La oración usa "would you please" para hacer una petición educada. La frase "the things you said you'd do" es una cláusula relativa que modifica "things". El "you'd do" es una forma abreviada de "you would do", formando una condicional mixta (promesa pasada hipotética que influye en el presente).
-
Oh, won't you kiss me on the mouth and love me like a sailor?
➔ Pregunta coletilla (negativa), Símil (como un marinero)
➔ "Won't you" es una pregunta coletilla negativa que se usa para que una petición suene más insistente o emocional. "Like a sailor" es un símil, que compara la forma en que quiere ser amada con el amor apasionado y rudo estereotípico asociado con los marineros.
-
And when you get a taste, can you tell me what's my flavor?
➔ Pregunta indirecta, Inversión sujeto-verbo en preguntas directas
➔ "What's my flavor?" es la pregunta directa incrustada dentro de la oración más grande como una pregunta indirecta. La estructura "can you tell me + what's my flavor" transforma la pregunta directa en una cláusula que actúa como el objeto del verbo "tell".
-
I don't believe in God, but I believe that you're my savior
➔ Conjunción contrastiva (but), Cláusula sustantiva ('that you're my savior')
➔ "But" introduce una idea contrastante. "That you're my savior" es una cláusula sustantiva que funciona como el objeto del verbo "believe". El "that" se puede omitir en el habla informal, pero es gramaticalmente correcto aquí.
-
My mom says that she's worried, but I'm covered in this favor
➔ Estilo indirecto, Conjunción contrastiva (but), Voz pasiva (I'm covered)
➔ La frase 'My mom says that she's worried' es estilo indirecto. La palabra "that" introduce el contenido informado de lo que dijo la madre. "I'm covered in this favor" emplea la voz pasiva, lo que indica que el hablante es el receptor del favor.
-
I sleep so I can see you, 'cause I hate to wait so long
➔ Conjunción subordinada (so, cause), Cláusula de propósito, Adverbio de grado (so long)
➔ "So" introduce una cláusula de propósito, explicando por qué el hablante duerme. "'Cause" (abreviatura de because) proporciona la razón para odiar esperar. "So long" funciona como un adverbio de grado, intensificando el disgusto del hablante por esperar.
-
That nothing else had ever worked out, worked out
➔ Pretérito pluscuamperfecto, Repetición enfática
➔ El pretérito pluscuamperfecto "had worked out" enfatiza que algo no tuvo éxito *antes* de un punto específico en el pasado. La repetición "worked out, worked out" agrega énfasis a la idea de que ninguna otra relación o experiencia había tenido éxito.
