Paroles:

[English]

Mmm, I bet you're wondering how I knew

Baby, baby, baby, 'bout your plans to make me blue (how?)

With some other girl you knew before

Between the two of us, girls, you know I love you more

It took me by surprise, I must say

When I found out yesterday

Don't you know that I heard it through the grapevine

(Oh, I heard it through the grapevine)

Not much longer would you be mine (not much longer would you be mine)

Don't you know that I heard it through the grapevine (oh, I heard it through the grapevine)

And I'm just about, just about, just about to lose my mind

Oh yes, I am (oh yes, I am, oh yes, I am, oh yes, I am)

Baby, won't you listen to me?

Boy, take a good look at these tears of mine

Baby, baby, these tears I can't hold, hold outside

Losing you would end my life, you see

Because you mean that much to me

You could've told me yourself

That you love somebody else

Instead, I heard it through the grapevine (oh, I heard it through the grapevine)

Oh, not much longer would you be mine (not much longer would you be mine)

Don't you know that I heard it (heard it)

Yes, I heard it (heard it through the grapevine)

Oh, just about, just about, just about to lose my mind

Oh yes, I am (oh yes, I am, oh yes, I am, oh yes, I am)

Go, go-o-o-o-o, go

Go, I gotta go

Whoa-whoa, if you gonna let me go

Whoa-whoa-whoa, I gotta go

Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa, I heard

Say you believe half of what you see (yes, I heard it)

Oh, ho, and none of what you hear (yes, I heard it)

Baby, but I just can't help being confused (yes, I heard it)

If it's true, please, baby, won't you tell me, dear? (Yes, I heard it)

Oh, oh-oh, do you plan to let me go

For the other girl you loved before?

Don't you know that I heard it through the grapevine

(Oh, I heard it through the grapevine)

Not much longer would you be mine (not much longer would you be mine)

Don't you know that I heard it (heard it)

Yes, I heard it (heard it through the grapevine)

Oh, I heard it (heard it)

Heard it (heard it-)

Grammaire:

  • I bet you're wondering how I knew

    ➔ Présent continu dans une question indirecte

    ➔ L'utilisation de 'wondering' (présent continu) montre une pensée ou une spéculation en cours. 'How I knew' est une question indirecte agissant comme l'objet de 'wondering'. L'ordre des mots change en une structure de déclaration (sujet-verbe) dans la question indirecte.

  • 'bout your plans to make me blue

    ➔ Infinitif de but ('to make')

    ➔ La phrase infinitive "to make me blue" explique le but des "plans". Elle clarifie *pourquoi* les plans existent.

  • Not much longer would you be mine

    ➔ Inversion pour l'emphase (Conditionnel)

    ➔ L'ordre des mots typique serait "You would not be mine much longer". Inverser l'auxiliaire "would" et le sujet "you" ajoute de l'emphase, créant un effet plus dramatique. Cela sonne plus poétique ou formel. Implique souvent une situation conditionnelle, même si elle n'est pas explicitement énoncée.

  • Losing you would end my life, you see

    ➔ Gérondif comme sujet ('Losing') et Conditionnel ('would end')

    "Losing" est un gérondif (verbe agissant comme un nom) fonctionnant comme le sujet de la phrase. "would end" exprime un résultat conditionnel ; si elle le perdait, sa vie se terminerait.

  • You could've told me yourself

    ➔ Verbe modal d'opportunité manquée ('could have')

    "Could've told" (could have told) indique que la personne avait la capacité ou la possibilité de le lui dire, mais elle ne l'a pas fait. Cela exprime des regrets ou une déception quant à une occasion manquée.
