En Anglais, on ne dit pas “quatre vingt dix neuf”, on dit “ninety nine” qu'on pourrait traduire comme “Hurr durr, regardez mois, j'ai un système de numérotation fonctionnel” et je crois que c'est magnifique.
Esta canción escuché por la primera vez hoy y me sentí que “Creo en Ti” (video abajo)sea una de mas canciones lindas de mi vida. Entonces, quiero compartir con ustedes alguno vocabulario clave y algunos puntos gramaticales que aparecen dentro de esta canción. ¡Disfruta!
TR: I heard this song for the first time today and I felt that “Creo en Ti” is one of the most beautiful songs of my life. So I want to share with you some key vocabulary and some grammar points that appear within this song. Enjoy!
creo en ti - I believe in you
(la) noche - (the) night
(el) cielo - sky (or heaven depending on context)
(la) calle - street
(el) laberinto - labyrinth
rendir (v.) - to defeat (this verb has many meanings, in this context, it means defeat)
(la) piel -skin
(el) corazón - heart
desarmar (v.) - to disarm, to take apart, to disassemble
(el) amor - love
(las) luces - lights
(el) alma (n.f.) - soul
indestructible (adj.) - indestructible
(el) dolor - pain
(las) fantasmas - ghosts, phantoms
(la) paz - peace
(la) caída libre - free fall
Porque el cielo ha conspirado en mi favor - Because the heavens have conspired in my favor:
ha conspirado = present perfect tense (haber + participio pasada)
Me haces bien - You make me better (literally: you make me well)
me (pronombre) + haces (hacer en el presente 2a persona) + bien (adjetivo)
Creo en ti - I believe in you
Creo (creer en el presente 1a persona)
Creer means to believe. When pared with “en” + “persona/pronombre” it means “to believe in…”
Me ha vuelto indestructible - I have become indestructible
volverse (con pronombre) = to become
“vuelto” is the past participle of volver(se), it’s irregular
me vuelvo (presente) = I become
me ha vuelto (pres. perfect) = I have become
Mi dolor se quedo kilómetros atrás = my pain stayed kilometers away
se quedo = quedarse en el pasado 3a persona
this verb always needs a reflexive pronoun
Past tenses
te encontré = I found you
crucé = I crossed
esperé = I hoped/waited (what a fun wordplay)
This was super fun to work on! I didn’t include everything because that would take forever! I love this song so much, it’s so cute and sweet.
If you have any questions, reply to this post and hopefully I can help you out. This is my first time making one of these!
