Te miento si te digo que no quiero ver de nuevo ese lunar 00:24
Supongo que no soy el único que sabe bien en dónde está 00:30
Tapémonos los ojos y apaguemos esas luces de una vez 00:37
Trata de hacerme perderme en tu cuerpo que yo conozco al revés 00:43
Tú eres una serpiente que me ahoga y que no me deja ni respirar 00:49

[English]
I'd be lying if I said I don't want to see that mole again
I guess I'm not the only one who knows exactly where it is
Let's cover our eyes and turn those lights off once and for all
Try to make me lose myself in your body, since I know it inside out
You're a snake that's drowning me, not even letting me breathe
I want to unwrap myself, so you know who I really am
Let's forget who each of us was with yesterday
If we're feeling it, come on, go for it, baby, please, right now
Hold me in those arms, tell me that the bad times will pass
And in your worst moments, I promise I'll be there too
Ah-ah, ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
...
You're as dangerous as the tide and the ocean waves
Any man who is with you in this life, you're going to hurt
The chance to be together is gone, I don't think it'll ever return
But the connection we have, don't deny it, I know it's still there
You're a snake that's drowning me, not even letting me breathe
I want to unwrap myself, so you know who I really am
Let's forget who each of us was with yesterday
If we're feeling it, come on, go for it, baby, please, right now
Hold me in those arms, tell me that the bad times will pass
And in your worst moments, I promise I'll be there too
Ah-ah, ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
...

Key Grammar Structures

  • Te miento si te digo que no quiero ver de nuevo ese lunar

    ➔ First Conditional (Real condition)

    ➔ The structure 'Si + present indicative' expresses a real condition. Here, "si te digo" establishes the premise for the main clause.

  • Supongo que no soy el único que sabe bien en dónde está

    ➔ Relative Clause with 'que'

    ➔ The pronoun "que" acts as the subject of the relative clause "sabe bien en dónde está," referring back to "el único".

  • Trata de hacerme perderme en tu cuerpo

    ➔ Periphrastic construction (Tratar de + infinitive)

    ➔ The construction "Trata de" is used to express an attempt or an effort to do something (in this case, to make someone lose themselves).

  • Olvidemos con quién estuvo cada uno en el ayer

    ➔ Imperative Mood (1st person plural)

    ➔ The verb "Olvidemos" is the imperative form for 'nosotros'. It is used to suggest a collective action.

  • Que me acojas en esos brazos

    ➔ Subjunctive Mood (Present)

    ➔ The verb "acojas" is in the subjunctive mood, often triggered by an implied wish or desire ('Espero que...').

  • Cualquier hombre que esté contigo

    ➔ Indefinite Pronoun and Subjunctive in Relative Clauses

    "Cualquier" (any) modifies the noun, and "esté" is in the subjunctive because the existence of this man is hypothetical or non-specific.

  • La oportunidad de estar juntos se fue

    ➔ Reflexive/Pronominal usage (irse)

    ➔ The verb "irse" conveys the idea of departure or disappearance, adding a sense of finality compared to simply "ir".

  • Pero la conexión que tenemos, no niegues, sé que aún está

    ➔ Direct Object and Affirmation

    "La conexión" is the direct object of "tenemos" (the connection that we have), while "sé" (I know) is a strong assertion.
