Torero

• Por: Chayanne

Letra:

[Español]

[English]

De lunes a domingo, voy desesperado

From Monday to Sunday, I go desperate

El corazón prendido ahí en el calendario

The heart ignited there on the calendar

Buscándote y buscando como un mercenario

Searching for you like a mercenary

Tú dime dónde estás, que yo no te he encontrado

You tell me where you are, because I haven't found you

Las manecillas giran, yo voy al contrario

The hands are turning, I'm going the opposite way

Comiéndome la vida a sorbos y a tragos

Sipping and gulping down life

Me diste así de frente, qué tremendo impacto

You hit me straight on, what a tremendous impact

Para unirme a tu mirada, dime

To join your gaze, tell me

Si hay que ser torero, poner el alma en el ruedo

If I have to be a bullfighter, put my soul in the ring

No importa lo que se venga, pa' que sepas que te quiero

It doesn't matter what comes, so you know that I love you

Como un buen torero (Olé)

Like a good bullfighter (Olé)

Me juego la vida por ti

I risk my life for you

Si hay que ser torero, poner el alma en el ruedo

If I have to be a bullfighter, put my soul in the ring

No importa lo que se venga, pa' que sepas que te quiero

It doesn't matter what comes, so you know that I love you

Como un buen torero (Olé)

Like a good bullfighter (Olé)

Me juego la vida por ti

I risk my life for you

Y te cuentan que ya me vieron solitario en un callejón

And they tell you that they saw me lonely in an alley

Que ya no duermo y desvarío, que el humor ya me cambió

That I no longer sleep and I'm delirious, that my mood has changed

Y tú, ¿por dónde estás?, que mi presión ya no me da

And you, where are you?, because my pressure is rising

Te buscaré, vuelve conmigo y que tú no sabes

I will look for you, come back to me and you don't know

Que yo te necesito como el perro al amo

That I need you like a dog needs its master

Que si tú no respondes, aquí todo es caos

That if you don't respond, everything here is chaos

Me diste así de frente, qué tremendo impacto

You hit me straight on, what a tremendous impact

Para unirme a tu mirada, dime

To join your gaze, tell me

Si hay que ser torero, poner el alma en el ruedo

If I have to be a bullfighter, put my soul in the ring

No importa lo que se venga, pa' que sepas que te quiero

It doesn't matter what comes, so you know that I love you

Como un buen torero (Ole)

Like a good bullfighter (Olé)

Me juego la vida por ti

I risk my life for you

Si hay que ser torero, poner el alma en el ruedo

If I have to be a bullfighter, put my soul in the ring

No importa lo que se venga, pa' que sepas que te quiero

Me juego la vida por ti

I risk my life for you

En noviembre hasta enero, sí que te necesito

From November to January, yes I need you

Ay, de junio a febrero quiero que estés conmigo

Oh, from June to February I want you to be with me

Y en marzo el amor, en diciembre tú y yo

And in March love, in December you and I

No importa mi amada

It doesn't matter my beloved

Si hay, si hay que ser torero, poner el alma en el ruedo

If there is, if I have to be a bullfighter, put my soul in the ring

No importa lo que se venga, pa' que sepas que te quiero

It doesn't matter what comes, so you know that I love you

Como un buen torero (Olé)

Gramática:

• De lunes a domingo, voy desesperado

  ➔ Prepositional phrase indicating a time period. 'De' + [day] + 'a' + [day] indicates 'from [day] to [day]'. The adjective 'desesperado' agrees in gender and number with the speaker (implicitly masculine singular).

  ➔ This line translates to 'From Monday to Sunday, I go desperate'. The structure emphasizes the continuous nature of the feeling. "Desesperado" describes the speaker's emotional state.

• Buscándote y buscando como un mercenario

  ➔ Use of gerunds ('buscándote' and 'buscando') to describe continuous actions. The comparison 'como un mercenario' uses 'como' to express a simile.

  ➔ This translates to 'Searching for you and searching like a mercenary.' The gerunds emphasize the ongoing nature of the search. The simile compares the singer's relentless search to that of a mercenary.

• Tú dime dónde estás, que yo no te he encontrado

  ➔ Use of the imperative mood ('dime'). 'Que' introduces a subordinate clause explaining or emphasizing the previous statement. The present perfect 'no te he encontrado' indicates an action completed in the past with relevance to the present.

  ➔ This translates to 'You tell me where you are, because I haven't found you.' 'Dime' is the informal command 'tell me'. The 'que' clause emphasizes the reason for asking where she is.

• Si hay que ser torero, poner el alma en el ruedo

  ➔ Conditional clause using 'si' + 'hay que' + infinitive. 'Hay que' indicates necessity or obligation ('one must'). 'Poner' + 'el alma' + 'en el ruedo' is an idiomatic expression.

  ➔ This translates to 'If one must be a bullfighter, put the soul in the ring'. 'Hay que' expresses the necessity to act in a certain way. The idiomatic expression 'poner el alma en el ruedo' means to give it your all, to be completely dedicated and passionate.

• No importa lo que se venga, pa' que sepas que te quiero

  ➔ Use of 'No importa' + subjunctive clause ('lo que se venga'). 'Se venga' uses the subjunctive because it's an uncertain or hypothetical event. 'Pa'' is a colloquial shortening of 'para'. 'Que' introduces a subordinate clause expressing the reason or purpose.

  ➔ This translates to 'No matter what comes, so that you know that I love you.' 'Lo que se venga' refers to whatever challenges or difficulties may arise. The 'pa' que' phrase introduces the purpose of facing these challenges – to demonstrate his love.

• Que ya no duermo y desvarío, que el humor ya me cambió

  ➔ Use of 'que' to introduce clauses explaining the consequences of the situation. 'Ya no' + verb indicates 'no longer'. 'Cambiado' is the past participle used with 'haber' to form the present perfect (indirectly implied).

  ➔ This translates to 'That I no longer sleep and rave, that my mood has already changed.' The 'que' clauses provide a description of his current state due to her absence. 'Ya no duermo' indicates he is no longer able to sleep.
