Grammar:
-
Ich träume schon so lang von diesem Irgendwann
➔ Prepositional phrase with dative case.
➔ The preposition "von" requires the dative case. "diesem Irgendwann" is in the dative case because it follows "von". The use of "schon so lang" emphasizes the duration of the dreaming.
-
Dass dieser Tag einmal kommt, hätt ich selber nicht geglaubt
➔ Subjunctive II (Konjunktiv II) with "hätte" (auxiliary verb) and past participle.
➔ "hätt(e) ... geglaubt" expresses a hypothetical or unreal condition in the past. It implies the speaker didn't believe this day would come. "Dass...kommt" is a subordinate clause acting as the subject of the main clause.
-
Ich will, dass sich die Zeiger schneller dreh'n
➔ Subjunctive I (Konjunktiv I) in indirect speech after "dass".
➔ Although the Konjunktiv I form is identical to the Indikativ form here (drehen -> dreh'n), the sentence indicates a wish or desire, indirectly reported. The "sich" makes it a reflexive verb, indicating the hands turning themselves.
-
Ich kann es schon seh'n
➔ Modal verb "können" with infinitive "sehen".
➔ "kann" expresses the ability or possibility to see something in the future. The use of "schon" implies that the speaker is already anticipating or visualizing it.
-
Befrei mich von all mein'n Sorgen
➔ Imperative mood with a reflexive verb and dative case.
➔ "Befrei mich" is an imperative command directed at oneself (using the accusative reflexive pronoun "mich"). "von all mein'n Sorgen" indicates what one should be freed from, using the preposition "von" which requires the dative case.
-
Hab viel zu viele Pläne verworfen
➔ Perfect tense with "haben" and past participle; "zu viel" + plural noun
➔ "Hab...verworfen" is the perfect tense, indicating a completed action in the past. "zu viele Pläne" means "too many plans". "zu" modifies "viele" because "Pläne" is plural. Note the genitive ending on mein'n is not used, instead, all mein'n is used as the correct plural.
