Grammaire:

Get up in the morning, slaving for bread, sir

➔ Participe présent en tant qu'adjectif/adverbe

➔ "Slaving" est un participe présent agissant comme un modificateur adverbial, décrivant comment il se lève le matin. Cela signifie qu'il se lève en travaillant dur pour gagner son pain. Cela montre une action simultanée.
So that every mouth can be fed

➔ Proposition subordonnée de but utilisant "so that"

➔ "So that" introduit une proposition exprimant le but de l'action. Dans ce cas, le but de travailler dur est "que chaque bouche puisse être nourrie".
My wife and my kids, they packed up and a-leave me

➔ Anglais non standard : Omission de "have" dans le present perfect et préfixe "a-" (dialectal)

➔ L'anglais standard serait "My wife and my kids, they *have* packed up and *have* left me." Le "a-" avant "leave" est dialectal, probablement du patois jamaïcain, indiquant un aspect continu ou progressif (similaire à "are leaving").
Darling, she said, "I was yours to receive"

➔ Voix passive au passé dans un discours indirect / Discours rapporté

➔ La déclaration originale était probablement "I am yours to receive." Dans le discours rapporté, le temps verbal recule au passé. La construction passive souligne qu'elle était un objet à recevoir, et non l'acteur.
Shirt, them a-tear up, trousers are gone

➔ Anglais non standard : Omission de la copule ("is/are"), topicalisation, préfixe "a-" (dialectal)

➔ Anglais standard : "My shirt, it is being torn up ; my trousers are gone." Topicalisation : "Shirt" est placé au début pour l'emphase. Le "a-" avant "tear" est la même caractéristique dialectale qu'avant, suggérant un aspect progressif : ils sont en train d'être déchirés.
I don't want to end up like Bonnie and Clyde

➔ Infinitif de but après "want"

➔ "To end up like Bonnie and Clyde" explique *pourquoi* il ne veut pas quelque chose. Il exprime le but qu'il veut éviter. "Want" est souvent suivi d'un infinitif pour exprimer une action ou un état souhaité.
After a storm, there must be a calm

➔ Verbe modal "must" exprimant la certitude/nécessité (philosophique)

➔ Ici, "must" n'est pas une obligation stricte, mais transmet une forte conviction ou attente que le calme *suivra* inévitablement une tempête. C'est une déclaration d'une vérité générale ou d'un principe.
