Key Grammar Structures
-
mis compas en la peda ellos no creen que olvidarte pueda y siento que si es cierto
➔ Subjunctive mood (creer que + subjunctive), use of 'pueda' after 'creen'
➔ The verb 'creer' (to believe) when expressing doubt or uncertainty requires the subjunctive mood in the subordinate clause. Here, they don't believe *that* he can forget her. The 'pueda' is the subjunctive form of 'poder' (to be able to).
-
que hasta mi humor te llame
➔ Indirect object pronoun 'te', reflexive verb usage ('llamar' in this context)
➔ 'Te' is the indirect object pronoun meaning 'to you'. The verb 'llamar' is being used reflexively here, meaning 'to call upon' or 'to affect'. It's saying that even his mood is affected *by* you.
-
traigo Otra botella para ver si en esta ya me olvido de ella
➔ Use of 'otra' (another), conditional 'si' clause
➔ 'Otra' means 'another'. The 'si' clause introduces a condition: 'if' he drinks from this bottle, *maybe* he'll forget her. It expresses a hope, not a certainty.
-
chingo de viejas conocen mi cama
➔ Colloquial slang ('chingo'), noun-adjective order
➔ 'Chingo' is a very strong, colloquial slang term meaning 'a lot of'. The phrase literally means 'a lot of old women know my bed'. The noun 'viejas' comes before the implied adjective describing them.
