[English]

Listen to me

I want to tell you something

That you might not expect

Perhaps it will be painful

Listen to me

Even though it breaks my heart

I need to speak to you

And so I will

Us

We who were so sincere

That since the moment we met

We have been in love

Us

We who made of love

A wonderful sun

A romance so divine

Us

We who love each other so much

Must part ways

Don't ask me anymore

It's not for a lack of affection

I love you with all my soul

I swear that I adore you

And in the name of this love, and for your own good

I say goodbye

Us

We who love each other so much

Must part ways

Don't ask me anymore

It's not for a lack of affection

I love you with all my soul

I swear that I adore you

And in the name of this love, and for your own good

I say goodbye

...

[Spanish]

Atiéndeme

Quiero decirte algo

Que quizá no esperes

Doloroso tal vez

Escúchame

Aunque me duele el alma

Yo necesito hablarte

Y así lo haré

Nosotros

Que fuimos tan sinceros

Que desde que nos vimos

Amándonos estamos

Nosotros

Que del amor hicimos

Un sol maravilloso

Romance tan divino

Nosotros

Que nos queremos tanto

Debemos separarnos

No me preguntes más

No es falta de cariño

Te quiero con el alma

Te juro que te adoro

Y en nombre de este amor, y por tu bien

Te digo adiós

Nosotros

Que nos queremos tanto

Debemos separarnos

No me preguntes más

No es falta de cariño

Te quiero con el alma

Te juro que te adoro

Y en nombre de este amor, y por tu bien

Te digo adiós

Key Grammar Structures

• Que quizá no esperes

  ➔ Subjunctive mood

  ➔ The verb "esperes" is in the present subjunctive because it follows "que" and expresses doubt/uncertainty about the future.

• Que fuimos tan sinceros

  ➔ Preterite tense

  ➔ The verb "fuimos" is the preterite of "ser", indicating a completed action in the past.

• Desde que nos vimos

  ➔ Temporal clauses with "desde que"

  ➔ "Desde que" introduces the starting point of an action in the past.

• Amándonos estamos

  ➔ Present continuous with pronoun placement

  ➔ "Amándonos" combines the gerund "amando" with the reflexive pronoun "nos".

• Que del amor hicimos

  ➔ Relative clause

  ➔ "Que" functions as a relative pronoun connecting "nosotros" to the description of what they did.

• Que nos queremos tanto

  ➔ Reflexive reciprocal verb

  ➔ "Queremos" here expresses a mutual feeling between "us", hence the reflexive "nos".

• No me preguntes más

  ➔ Negative imperative

  ➔ The negative imperative "no preguntes" uses the subjunctive form for "tú".

• Te juro que te adoro

  ➔ Direct object pronouns

  ➔ "Te" in both instances acts as the direct object: I swear (to you) that I adore (you).
