Santa, Can't You Hear Me
Letra:
[English]
Keep the snow and sleigh rides, keep those silver bells
Keep the gifts beneath the tree, give them to someone else
Keep that magic snowman, keep those twinkly lights
Keep the reindeer, my heart already knows how to fly
'Cause all I ever wanted
Was nothing I got, and...
Santa, can't you hear me?
Oh-oh (oh-oh) oh-oh (oh)
I don't need a thing
I sent a letter to you-ooh-ooh
On how to make my dreams come true, yeah-yeah
What I want for Christmas
Hasn't come and I feel so blue
Tell me, what can I do? Ooh-ooh, oh yeah
Keep the mistletoe (keep the mistletoe)
All that's below is what I need (what I need)
Santa, can't you hear me?
Keep those bows and boxes (keep them bows and them boxes)
Keep those three wise men
No need for a north star to show me where I will land
'Cause all I ever wanted
Isn't on a shelve, and...
Santa, can't you hear me?
Oh-oh (oh-oh), oh-oh (ooh, yeah), oh-oh (ooh-ooh), oh-oh
I don't need a thing
I sent a letter to you-ooh-ooh
On how to make my dreams come true, oh-oh
What I want for Christmas
Hasn't come and I feel so blue
Tell me, what can I do? Ooh-ooh, oh yeah
Keep the mistletoe (keep the mistletoe)
All that's below is what I need
Oh, Santa, can't you hear me? Yeah
'Cause all I ever wanted
Was nothing I got, and
Santa, can't you hear me? There is one thing that I need
Mmm-oh (oh), oh yeah (oh-oh), ooh, yeah (oh, oh)
Santa, yeah-yeah-yeah
I don't need a thing
I sent a letter to you-ooh-ooh (you-ooh-ooh)
On how to make my dreams come true, oh-oh
What I want for Christmas
Hasn't come and I feel so blue
Tell me, what can I do? Ooh-ooh, oh yeah
Keep the mistletoe
All that's below is what I need
Oh, Santa, can't you hear me?

Keep the snow and sleigh rides, keep those silver bells
➔ Modo Imperativo
➔ El verbo "keep" se usa en el modo imperativo, que se usa para dar una orden o hacer una solicitud. Instruye directamente a alguien (o algo, en este caso) a retener o mantener algo.
-
'Cause all I ever wanted was nothing I got, and...
➔ Pretérito Pluscuamperfecto en la Cláusula Subordinada y Pretérito Simple en la Cláusula Principal
➔ La frase "all I ever wanted" implica un anhelo durante un período de tiempo en el pasado. Luego, la cláusula subordinada "all I ever *wanted*" se contrasta con el uso del pretérito simple "nothing I *got*" para indicar el resultado final (que el deseo nunca se cumplió).
-

➔ Pregunta Indirecta/Pregunta Incrustada
➔ La frase "on how to make my dreams come true" es una pregunta incrustada que actúa como una frase preposicional que modifica "letter". Observe que no hay inversión de sujeto y verbo después de "how". En lugar de preguntar "How can I make my dreams come true?", está incrustada en la oración.
-
Hasn't come and I feel so blue
➔ Presente Perfecto Negativo
➔ "Hasn't come" es la forma negativa del presente perfecto. Se usa para expresar que algo que se esperaba o se esperaba en el pasado no ha sucedido hasta ahora.

Keep those bows and boxes (keep them bows and them boxes)
➔ Reemplazo de pronombre y repetición (informal)
➔ La segunda parte de la frase: "keep them bows and them boxes" es un ejemplo de habla informal. La palabra "them" debería ser correctamente el adjetivo "those". La repetición de "them" agrega énfasis pero no es gramaticalmente correcta en inglés estándar.
