[English]

If you turn all my grave mistakes into love

It will always be appreciated

If you give me hope for a love that can be reached

It will always be appreciated

If you fulfill what I dream of and this tiny love

You manage to create an ideal

Or if you pour light onto this dark night

It will always be appreciated

If you turn everything bad in my mind into something decent

It will always be appreciated

Or if the day finally comes when the sad becomes joy

It will always be appreciated

...

If you give me hope for a love that can be reached

It will always be appreciated

If you fulfill what I dream of and this tiny love

You manage to create an ideal

Or if you pour light onto this dark night

It will always be appreciated

...

Or if the day finally comes when the sad becomes joy

It will always be appreciated

It will always be appreciated

It will always be appreciated

...

[Spanish]

Si conviertes en amores todos mi graves errores

Siempre se agradecerá

Si me brindas la esperanza de un cariño que se alcanza

Siempre se agradecerá

Si realizas lo que sueño y de este amor tan pequeño

Logras hacer un ideal

O si a esta obscura noche le das de luz un derroche

Siempre se agradecerá

Si transformas en mi mente todo lo malo en decente

Siempre se agradecerá

O si llega al fin el día que lo triste sea alegría

Siempre se agradecerá

Si me brindas la esperanza de un cariño que se alcanza

Siempre se agradecerá

Si realizas lo que sueño y de este amor tan pequeño

Logras hacer un ideal

O si a esta obscura noche le das de luz un derroche

Siempre se agradecerá

O si llega al fin el día que lo triste sea alegría

Siempre se agradecerá

Siempre se agradecerá

Siempre se agradecerá

Key Grammar Structures

• Si conviertes en amores todos mi graves errores

  ➔ Conditional Clause (Si + Present Subjunctive, Future in Main Clause)

  ➔ The 'Si' introduces a hypothetical situation. The verb 'conviertes' is in the present subjunctive because it's dependent on the 'Si'. The implied future consequence is 'se agradecerá'. The use of 'todos' emphasizes the totality of the errors.

• Siempre se agradecerá

  ➔ Impersonal Se Construction + Future Tense

  ➔ The 'Se' creates an impersonal construction, meaning the action is not attributed to a specific subject. 'Agradecerá' is in the future tense, indicating something that *will* be appreciated. 'Siempre' emphasizes the constant nature of this appreciation.

• Si realizas lo que sueño

  ➔ Conditional Clause (Si + Present Subjunctive)

  ➔ Similar to the first example, 'Si realizas' introduces a hypothetical situation. 'Lo que sueño' is a relative clause functioning as the object of 'realizas' – 'what I dream'.

• O si llega al fin el día que lo triste sea alegría

  ➔ Subjunctive Clause with 'O' (Alternative) + Relative Clause

  ➔ 'O' introduces an alternative possibility. 'Que lo triste sea alegría' is a subordinate clause expressing a wish or hope. 'El día que...' is a relative clause specifying *when* this change will happen.
