Under The Mistletoe
Letra:
[English]
Every time I look around this room
My eyes, they tend to fall on you
And I confess
Nothing but you makes sense
Memories fill my heart
And I can barely keep my tears from fallin'
Oh, I want your love
Do you ever think of us
Is it too late, too late
To open up
I'm dyin' to say
Oh, how I love you
You're walkin' towards me now
(What am I gonna say?)
Push my pride aside
When I close my eyes
It's just you and I
Here under the mistletoe
Magic fills the air
Standin' over there
Santa hear my prayer
Here under the mistletoe
All I want, hey, yeah
All I want, hey, hey, yeah
All I want, hey, yeah
Is under the mistletoe
Oh, everything I try
To keep you from gettin' inside
Works until I see your face
I linger, hopin' you might stay
Wrapped up in your arms
Is where I wanna spend my nights
So hard, how much I want you
Do you think of us?
How I want your love
Is it too late, too late
To let you know
I can't quite escape
How much I need you
You're walkin' towards me now
(What am I gonna say?)
Push my pride aside
When I close my eyes
It's just you and I
Here under the mistletoe
Magic fills the air
Standin' over there
Santa hear my prayer
Here under the mistletoe
All I want, hey, yeah (all I really, really ever want)
All I want, hey, hey, yeah (all I really, really ever want)
All I want, hey, yeah (all I really, really ever want)
Is under the mistletoe
You're walkin' towards me now
Won't you read my mind somehow
Meet me in the middle, underneath a little bit of mistletoe
No indecision, take a breath as I
Push my pride aside
When I close my eyes
It's just you and I
Here under the mistletoe
Magic fills the air
Standin' over there (standin' over there)
Santa hear my prayer
Here under the mistletoe
'Cause all I want, hey, yeah (all I really, really ever want)
All I want, hey, hey, yeah (all I really, really ever want)
All I want, hey, yeah (all I really, really ever want)
Is under the mistletoe (is under the mistletoe)
All I want, hey, yeah (all I really, really ever want)
All I want, hey, hey, yeah (all I really, really ever want)
All I want, hey, yeah (all I really, really ever want)
Is under the mistletoe
Push my pride aside, aside, aside
It's just you and I (it's just you and I)
All I want (I'm pushin' my pride aside, aside, aside)
All I want (baby, it's just you and I)
Is you (oh, it's only you)
Is you, oh

Gramática:
-
Every time I look around this room, My eyes, they tend to fall on you
➔ Concordancia sujeto-verbo con una colocación inusual del sujeto.
➔ En lugar de decir "My eyes tend to fall on you", la letra usa "My eyes, they tend to fall on you". Esto enfatiza "my eyes" y es una elección estilística, aunque gramaticalmente correcta. Es una forma de aposición. La palabra "they" se refiere a "My eyes".
-
Nothing but you makes sense
➔ Concordancia sujeto-verbo con un sujeto compuesto.
➔ Aquí, "Nothing but you" actúa como un sujeto singular, por lo tanto, requiere el verbo singular "makes". La frase enfatiza que solo la persona a la que se dirige proporciona claridad o significado.
-
Memories fill my heart, And I can barely keep my tears from fallin'
➔ Uso de gerundio después de preposición
➔ El verbo "fall" está en forma de gerundio "fallin'" después de la preposición "from", I can barely keep my tears "from fallin'"
-
Wrapped up in your arms, Is where I wanna spend my nights
➔ Estructura de oración invertida para enfatizar.
➔ La estructura típica sería: "Where I wanna spend my nights is wrapped up in your arms". Invertirlo a "Wrapped up in your arms, Is where I wanna spend my nights" enfatiza la sensación de estar envuelto en los brazos de alguien.
-
So hard, how much I want you
➔ Elipsis para énfasis emocional.
➔ La oración está incompleta. Una versión más completa podría ser algo como, "It's so hard to express how much I want you". La elipsis crea una sensación de falta de aliento y un sentimiento abrumador.
-
Won't you read my mind somehow
➔ Uso de "won't" en una petición.
➔ Si bien "won't" generalmente expresa un futuro negativo o un rechazo, aquí funciona como una forma más enfática y emocionalmente cargada de hacer una solicitud. Implica un fuerte deseo y un toque de desesperación.
-
Meet me in the middle, underneath a little bit of mistletoe
➔ Verbo frasal con una frase preposicional.
➔ "Meet me in the middle" es un verbo frasal, y "underneath a little bit of mistletoe" es una frase preposicional que modifica la ubicación de la reunión.
