Scars In Heaven
Letra:
[English]
If I had only known the last time
Would be the last time
I would have put off all the things I had to do
I would have stayed a little longer
Held on a little tighter
Now what I'd give for one more day with you
'Cause there's a wound here in my heart
Where something's missing
And they tell me that it's gonna heal with time
But I know you're in a place
Where all your wounds have been erased
And knowing yours are healed is healing mine
The only scars in Heaven
They won't belong to me and you
There'll be no such thing as broken
And all the old will be made new
And the thought that makes me smile now
Even as the tears fall down
Is that the only scars in Heaven
Are on the hands that hold you now
I know the road you walked was anything but easy
You picked up your share of scars along the way
Oh, but now you're standing in the sun
You've fought your fight and your race is run
The pain is all a million miles away
The only scars in Heaven
They won't belong to me and you
There'll be no such thing as broken
And all the old will be made new
And the thought that makes me smile now
Even as the tears fall down
Is that the only scars in Heaven, yeah
Are on the hands that hold you now
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
For the hands that hold you now
There's not a day goes by that I don't see you
You live on in all the better parts of me
Until I'm standing with you in the sun
I'll fight this fight and this race I'll run
Until I finally see what you can see, oh, oh
The only scars in Heaven
They won't belong to me and you
There'll be no such thing as broken
And all the old will be made new
And the thought that makes me smile now
Even as the tears fall down
Is that the only scars in Heaven
Are on the hands that hold you now

Gramática:
-
If I had only known the last time would be the last time
➔ Condicional tipo III (Condicional pasado perfecto)
➔ Esta frase utiliza la estructura "If + had + participio pasado, would have + participio pasado". Expresa arrepentimiento sobre algo que no sucedió en el pasado. "If I had only known" expresa el arrepentimiento del hablante por no saber la importancia de esa última vez.
-
Now what I'd give for one more day with you
➔ Oración condicional con elipsis, Inversión para enfatizar
➔ "What I'd give" es una forma abreviada de "What I would give". Implica una condición irreal. La oración esencialmente dice 'Si pudiera, daría cualquier cosa por un día más contigo'. La inversión ("what I'd give") enfatiza la fuerza del deseo del hablante.
-
Where all your wounds have been erased
➔ Voz pasiva del presente perfecto en una cláusula relativa
➔ "have been erased" está en voz pasiva del presente perfecto. Describe una acción completada en el pasado con relevancia para el presente. Es pasiva porque las heridas están recibiendo la acción de ser borradas. Esta frase modifica "a place".
-
And knowing yours are healed is healing mine
➔ Frase gerundio como sujeto; Presente continuo
➔ "Knowing yours are healed" funciona como el sujeto de la oración. Es una frase gerundio. "is healing" está en presente continuo, describiendo una acción en curso. El hablante está declarando que el conocimiento del proceso de curación del ser querido está contribuyendo a su propia curación.
-
The only scars in Heaven, they won't belong to me and you
➔ Tiempo futuro (won't); Caso de pronombre (me and you)
➔ "won't belong" es el tiempo futuro (will not). "me and you" son pronombres objeto porque están recibiendo la acción del verbo 'belong'. Aunque algunas guías de estilo sugieren colocar 'I' antes de 'you' por cortesía, este uso es aceptable en el habla casual y las letras de canciones.
-
There'll be no such thing as broken
➔ Tiempo Futuro (There'll be); Modismo "such as"
➔ "There'll be" es una contracción de "There will be", que indica el tiempo futuro. "such thing as" significa algo de ese tipo o naturaleza. La oración afirma que el concepto de estar roto no existirá en el cielo.
-
You picked up your share of scars along the way
➔ Pasado Simple; Modismo "share of"
➔ "picked up" está en tiempo pasado simple. "your share of" significa una cantidad o porción considerable de algo. La oración indica que la persona experimentó muchas cicatrices durante su viaje por la vida.
-
You've fought your fight and your race is run
➔ Presente Perfecto; Voz Pasiva
➔ "You've fought" está en presente perfecto, lo que indica una acción completada en el pasado con relevancia actual. "Your race is run" es técnicamente pasiva en significado (aunque no se forma con 'be + participio pasado'), lo que sugiere que la carrera fue completada por el sujeto pero ahora está terminada, un evento que ya ocurrió. Implica el final de un viaje o desafío en la vida.
