Grammar:
-
♪ QUÉ GANAS TENGO DE ACERCARME DE MÁS ♪
➔ Qué + noun + tener + de + infinitive: Expressing a strong desire.
➔ The phrase "Qué ganas tengo de acercarme de más" translates to "How much I want to get closer." "Qué ganas" expresses a strong desire, and "de acercarme" is the infinitive phrase indicating the action desired. The "de más" intensifies the desire to get even closer.
-
♪ TÚ ESTÁS CON ALGUIEN MÁS Y YO CONTANDO MIS DUDAS ♪
➔ Estar con alguien: To be with someone (relationship). Present continuous for ongoing actions.
➔ "Tú estás con alguien más" means "You are with someone else." "Contando mis dudas" uses the present continuous to describe the speaker currently counting or considering their doubts. The use of “mis” shows possession of the dudas.
-
♪ ¿POR QUÉ ME TOCA A MÍ TENER QUE TRAGARME UN "TE QUIERO"? ♪
➔ Tocar a alguien + infinitive: To be someone's turn to do something. Tener que + infinitive: To have to do something.
➔ "¿Por qué me toca a mí tener que tragarme un 'Te quiero'?" means "Why is it my turn to have to swallow a 'I love you'?" "Me toca a mí" means it's *my* turn. "Tener que tragarme" means to have to swallow/suppress. It highlights the frustration of having to hide one's feelings.
-
♪ SIEMPRE QUE TE VEO LLEGAR CON ALGUIEN MÁS ♪
➔ Siempre que + subjunctive (in some contexts) / indicative: Every time that / whenever. Ver + infinitive: To see someone doing something.
➔ "Siempre que te veo llegar con alguien más" means "Every time I see you arrive with someone else." "Siempre que" introduces a repeated action. "Ver + llegar" is a common construction indicating seeing someone arrive.
-
♪ SI YO QUIERO TODO CONTIGO? ♪
➔ Conditional sentences type 2: Si + imperfect subjunctive + conditional simple. Used to express hypothetical situations that are unlikely to happen.
➔ The question mark indicates that the first part of the sentence is missing, but it is implicitly assumed. In a type 2 conditional sentence structure, the first part is "Si yo quisiera todo contigo", but it is shortened and the verb is omitted for stylistic purposes. "Yo quiero todo contigo" indicates a desire to have everything with the other person.
-
♪ MIRA QUE EN CUALQUIER MOMENTO VOY A DAR EL PRIMER PASO ♪
➔ Mira que + subjunctive/indicative (depending on context, here indicative): Pay attention to the fact that... (emphasizing). Ir a + infinitive: To be going to do something (future).
➔ "Mira que en cualquier momento voy a dar el primer paso" means "Look, at any moment I'm going to take the first step." "Mira que" emphasizes the statement. "Voy a dar" is the future periphrastic tense using ir + a + infinitive.
