Ella sabe entrar en mi cabeza

Con delicadeza me des-estresa

Ella sabe qué botón tocarme

She knows what buttons to push with me

Porque tiene el poder y la magia para impresionarme

Cuando yo estoy con ella es como

Beberme entera la pasión en la botella

Cuando ella se entrega yo caigo borracho

Borracho de amor en sus brazos

Drunk on love in her arms

Cuando ella me da un beso su sabor me sube al cielo

Key Grammar Structures

• No quiero que esta noche pase y se nos acabe

  ➔ Subjunctive Mood (after verbs of desire/influence)

  ➔ The verbs "pase" and "acabe" are in the subjunctive mood because they follow "quiero que" (I want that), which expresses a wish or desire. This structure is common for influencing or expressing feelings about an action.

• Ella sabe qué botón tocarme

  ➔ Reflexive Pronoun with Infinitive & Embedded Question

  ➔ The pronoun "me" is attached to the infinitive "tocar" (to touch), meaning "to touch me." The word "qué" introduces an embedded or indirect question, common in Spanish.

• Porque tiene el poder y la magia para impresionarme

  ➔ "Para" + Infinitive (Purpose)

  ➔ The phrase "para impresionarme" uses "para" followed by an infinitive to express purpose, meaning "in order to impress me." The "-me" is a reflexive pronoun meaning "myself" or "me."

• Cuando ella se entrega yo caigo borracho

  ➔ Reflexive Verb ("Entregarse")

  ➔ "Se entrega" is the reflexive verb "entregarse" (to surrender oneself, to give oneself). The reflexive pronoun "se" indicates that the action is performed by the subject upon itself.

• Cuando ella me da un beso su sabor me sube al cielo

  ➔ Indirect Object Pronoun

  ➔ The pronoun "me" in "me da" (gives me) is an indirect object pronoun. It indicates who receives the action of the verb "dar" (to give).

• Tú y yo nos fuimos lejo', lejo'

  ➔ Preterite Tense & Reflexive 'Nos' (Movement)

  ➔ "Fuimos" is the preterite tense of "ir" (to go), indicating a completed action in the past. The reflexive pronoun "nos" in "nos fuimos" often implies a movement away from a place, or simply "we went."

• Que si no me abres la puerta me cuelo por la ventana

  ➔ Conditional Sentence Type 1 (Real Conditional)

  ➔ This is a Type 1 conditional sentence, expressing a real or probable condition. "Si no me abres" (If you don't open for me) presents the condition, and "me cuelo" (I sneak in) is the likely result. Both verbs are in the present indicative.

• Y yo le pido "Vámono' más lejo'"

  ➔ Informal Imperative ('Nosotros' form)

  ➔ "Vámono'" is a colloquial and shortened form of "vámonos" (let's go), which is the imperative form of "ir" for "nosotros." The final 's' is often dropped in informal speech. The "le" is an indirect object pronoun.

• Y me reservo el baño por si pide' má'

  ➔ "Por si" + Verb (In case of)

  ➔ The phrase "por si" means "in case" or "just in case." It introduces a clause that explains the reason for taking a precaution or making a reservation, for example, "por si pide'" (in case you ask).
