Watermelon Moonshine
Letra:
[English]
It was right after senior year
Just before the summer disappeared
We went a-ridin' them old farm ruts
Hangin' out on the gate of his truck
We threw a blanket 'neath the sunset
Bein' brave as 18 gets
We gave each other more than our hearts
With the help of a mason jar
Drinkin' watermelon moonshine
We cut the burn with a little lime
Parkin' back in them kudzu vines
I was his and every bit of that boy was mine
Too young to know what love was
But we were learnin' on a sweet buzz
There's never nothin' like the first time
And mine's always gonna taste like
Watermelon moonshine
I don't remember where we got it from
I just remember feelin' all grown up
Takin' pulls like it ain't no thing
Never told him it was my first drink
But I told him that he was the one
You're so sure when you're that young
You think you got it all figured out
And now I laugh when I think about
Drinkin' watermelon moonshine
We cut the burn with a little lime
Parkin' back in them kudzu vines
I was his and every bit of that boy was mine
Too young to know what love was
But we were learnin' on a sweet buzz
There's never nothin' like the first time
And mine's always gonna taste like
Watermelon moonshine
I thought that high would last forever
But that ain't what it does
Maybe we were drunk in love
Or maybe we were just...
...
Drinkin' watermelon moonshine
We cut the burn with a little lime
Parkin' back in them kudzu vines
I was his and every bit of that boy was mine
Too young to know what love was
But we were learnin' on a sweet buzz
There's never nothin' like the first time
And mine's always gonna taste like
Watermelon moonshine
Watermelon moonshine

-
Bein' brave as 18 gets

➔ Usando "as...as" para mostrar un grado de comparación. La valentía se compara con lo valientes que suelen ser los jóvenes de 18 años.
-
Too young to know what love was
➔ "Demasiado + adjetivo + para + infinitivo"

-
I don't remember where we got it from
➔ Pregunta indirecta con cláusula "where" insertada
➔ La oración no es una pregunta directa, sino una declaración sobre la falta de memoria del hablante. La cláusula "where" actúa como una cláusula nominal que funciona como el objeto del verbo "remember".
-
Maybe we were drunk in love Or maybe we were just...
➔ Pretérito Indefinido vs. Pretérito Continuo; Elipsis
➔ Esto usa tanto el "Pretérito Indefinido" (were drunk) como insinúa el "Pretérito Continuo" con el uso de "just...", lo que implica que algo estaba en curso. La elipsis crea suspenso y permite la interpretación.
