[English]

When the rain is blowing in your face

And the whole world is on your case

I could offer you a warm embrace

To make you feel my love

When the evening shadows and the stars appear

And there is no one there to dry your tears

I could hold you for a million years

To make you feel my love

...

I know you haven't made your mind up yet

But I would never do you wrong

I've known it from the moment that we met

No doubt in my mind where you belong

...

I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue

I'd go crawling down the avenue

Know there's nothing that I wouldn't do

To make you feel my love

...

The storms are raging on the rolling sea

And on the highway of regret

The winds of change are blowing wild and free

You ain't seen nothing like me yet

I could make you happy, make your dreams come true

Nothing that I wouldn't do

Go to the ends of the earth for you

To make you feel my love

...

To make you feel my love

...

Key Grammar Structures

• When the rain is blowing in your face

  ➔ Present Continuous Tense

  ➔ Describes an action happening at the moment of speaking or around the present time. The structure is: be + verb-ing. Here, "is blowing" describes the rain actively blowing.

• I could offer you a warm embrace

  ➔ Conditional Mood (Second Conditional - possibility)

  ➔ Uses "could + verb" to express a possible action or offer in a hypothetical situation. The implied 'if' clause is the situation described in the preceding lines. The sentence means 'If you were in this situation, I could offer...'

• To make you feel my love

  ➔ Infinitive of Purpose

  ➔ The infinitive phrase "to make you feel my love" explains the reason or purpose for the actions described in the preceding lines. It answers the question "Why?".

• I've known it from the moment that we met

  ➔ Present Perfect Tense

  ➔ "I've known" is a contraction of "I have known", using the Present Perfect to express an action that started in the past (the moment they met) and continues to have relevance in the present. It emphasizes the duration and ongoing effect of the knowledge.

• No doubt in my mind where you belong

  ➔ Noun Clause

  ➔ "Where you belong" functions as a noun clause, acting as the object of the preposition "in". It answers the question "What is the location of your belonging?"

• Know there's nothing that I wouldn't do

  ➔ Relative Clause (with 'that')

  ➔ The relative clause "that I wouldn't do" modifies "nothing". It specifies which "nothing" the speaker is referring to - the 'nothing' they wouldn't do. The 'that' acts as the object of the verb 'do'.

• The winds of change are blowing wild and free

  ➔ Present Continuous Tense

  ➔ Similar to the first example, "are blowing" describes the winds actively changing and evolving. The structure is: be + verb-ing.

• You ain't seen nothing like me yet

  ➔ Present Perfect Tense (Negative)

  ➔ "You ain't seen" (informal contraction of "you have not seen") uses the Present Perfect in the negative to express that up until now, the listener hasn't experienced something like the speaker. "Yet" emphasizes that this situation could change in the future.
