[English]

Someone once told me,

My train hasn't arrived.

I came to understand him later, and there was still so much left to do!

He… will never be able to climb a tree again… No… He will never be able to look into your eyes!

He won't be able to discover the universe

the space between your kisses, lying on your chest, and a million dreams that are still waiting to be dreamed!!

...

uhhhohhhh

...

A sad day passed… we couldn't do anything, I only ask the great judge never to forget him.

He… will never be able to climb a tree again… No… He will never be able to look into your eyes!

He won't be able to discover the universe that lies between your kisses and a million dreams that are left to be dreamed.

...

nanananananananaaaaa

nananaaaaaa

...

He… will never be able to climb a tree again… No… He will never be able to look into your eyes!

He won't be able to discover the universe that lies between your kisses, lying on your chest, and a million dreams that are still left to be dreamed.

[Spanish]

No podrá descubrir el universo que hay entre tus besos tumbado en tu pecho y un millón de sueños que a un quedaroon por soñar

Key Grammar Structures

• Alguien **Me** Dijo Una Vez,

  ➔ Indirect Object Pronoun (Me)

  ➔ The pronoun "me" functions as the indirect object, indicating to whom something was said. It receives the action of the verb indirectly.

• A **no ha llegado** mi tren

  ➔ Present Perfect (Ha llegado)

  ➔ "Ha llegado" uses the present perfect to describe an action that started in the past and continues to have relevance in the present. The train has not arrived yet.

• supe **entenderle después** quedaba tanto que hacer!

  ➔ Past Simple (Supe) and placement of indirect object pronoun (le)

  ➔ "Supe" is the past simple of *saber* (to know), indicating a completed action in the past. The pronoun "le" is attached directly to the verb, as is common in Spanish. It means that I understood *him* later.

• sólo **le pido al gran juez** nunca olvidarse de el

  ➔ Indirect Object Pronoun (Le) and Subjunctive implied

  ➔ "Le pido" - "Le" is an indirect object pronoun (to him/her/it). The verb *pedir* (to ask, to request) often implies a subjunctive mood, even if it is not explicitly used in the second clause (that he *should* never forget him).

• nunca **olvidarse de él**

  ➔ Reflexive verb (olvidarse) with preposition

  ➔ *Olvidarse* is a reflexive verb, meaning the action reflects back on the subject. The preposition "de" is necessary when *olvidarse* is followed by a direct object. Never to forget *about him*

• **Que** hay entre tus besos tumbado en tu pecho y un millón de sueños que aún quedaron por soñar!!

  ➔ Relative Pronoun (Que)

  ➔ "Que" introduces a relative clause, referring back to the universe. It connects the phrase about the universe to the description of what that universe contains: things between your kisses, laying on your chest.

• y un millón de sueños **que aún quedaron por soñar**!!

  ➔ Periphrastic Future (Quedaron por + infinitive)

  ➔ "Quedaron por soñar" is a periphrastic future construction, indicating something that remains to be done or that is pending. It's an equivalent to say "quedan sueños para soñar" meaning there still dreams left to be dreamt
