Gramática:

  • When a man *love* a woman

    ➔ Concordancia sujeto-verbo (con un matiz condicional). Aunque gramaticalmente incorrecto en inglés estándar (debería ser "loves"), se utiliza para enfatizar y encajar con el ritmo y el tono emocional de la canción.

    ➔ El verbo "love" debería ser "loves" porque el sujeto "a man" es singular. El uso aquí añade un toque folclórico, más emocional. Es como si el condicional 'si' estuviera implícito: *si* un hombre ama a una mujer.

  • Can't keep his mind on *nothin'* else

    ➔ Doble negación. 'Nothin' ' ya es una negación, así que añadir 'can't' lo convierte técnicamente en positivo. Sin embargo, se usa coloquialmente para enfatizar.

    ➔ La frase significa que no puede pensar en nada más. La doble negación no es gramaticalmente correcta pero añade énfasis y un tono informal a la canción. La gramática correcta sería: 'Can't keep his mind on *anything* else', or 'Can keep his mind on *nothing* else'.

  • If she *is* bad, he can't see it

    ➔ Cláusula condicional tipo 0/1. El presente simple en la cláusula 'if' muestra una verdad general o una situación probable.

    ➔ Esta es una oración condicional donde es probable que la consecuencia ocurra si se cumple la condición. Si la mujer *es* mala, incluso entonces, el hombre no puede verlo.

  • He'd give up all his comforts

    ➔ Condicional 'would' ('d) + infinitivo ('give'). Se utiliza para expresar una situación hipotética o una voluntad de hacer algo bajo ciertas condiciones.

    "He'd" es una contracción de "He would". Muestra una fuerte voluntad o una acción hipotética. En este contexto, describe las medidas extremas que un hombre enamorado está dispuesto a tomar.

  • If she *said* that's the way it ought to be

    ➔ Subjuntivo pasado (implícito). Si bien "said" está en pasado simple, la construcción general de la oración crea un escenario hipotético con "ought to be" que se suma a la naturaleza hipotética.

    ➔ La oración implica 'If she *were to say*'. 'Ought to be' expresa una expectativa o una obligación moral. Toda la frase establece una situación hipotética sobre lo que la mujer desea.

  • She can bring him such *misery*

    ➔ Uso de 'such' como intensificador. 'Such + adjetivo + sustantivo' enfatiza el grado o la extensión de la miseria.

    ➔ 'Such misery' implica una cantidad significativa de miseria, más que solo un poco. Destaca la profundidad potencial del dolor que una mujer puede causarle a un hombre que la ama.

  • Lovi*n'* eyes can never see

    ➔ Gerundio utilizado como adjetivo (adjetivo participio). El participio presente 'loving' se utiliza para describir 'eyes'.

    ➔ 'Loving eyes' son ojos llenos de amor. La forma '-ing' está actuando como un adjetivo que describe los ojos.
