A veces es difícil olvidar un pasado que aun nos toca,
un 'pasado imperfecto'.
Irónicamente ese pasado sin terminar,
de forma gramatical
se llama: Presente Perfecto.
Comenzó en el pasado
y aun se conecta con el presente
por ser un pasado reciente,
o es una acción que empezó tiempo atrás
pero da pie a que pensemos
que aun puede estarse desarrollando
en la actualidad.
Desde que te has ido, he estado suplicandote*...
En esta frase vemos aplicados:
El Presente Perfecto Simple
(Sujeto + Have Presente + Verbo Participio Pasado)
( Sin embargo
puede llevar también el been
tal como la frase:
Since you've been married
-Desde que has estado casada-
el título de esta canción
lleva estructura similar
Since you've been gone
que al traducirse literalmente
no sonaría muy bonito
para nosotros los hispanos:
-Desde que has estado ida-).
y
El Presente Perfecto Continuo
Sujeto + Have Presente + Been + Verbo -ing-
Since you've been gone
It seems that nothing... ever goes my way
Since you broke my heart
when you left that day
There's no where to go
so just stay with me
Cuz *since you've been gone
I've been begging you please
To tell me you're not alright
And you're needing to come home
(Since you've been gone)
To tell me you're not okay
And you're needing me all along
Since you've been gone
I need to hear from you
Since you've been gone
It seems that every time
you swear to God that you're leaving
I'm down on my knees
beggin' you to stay
There's no where to go
so just stay with me
Cuz since you've been gone
I've been beggin' you please
To tell me you're not alright
And you're needing to come home
(Since you've been gone)
To tell me you're not okay
And you're needing me all along
Since you've been gone
Please don't leave me here alone
Just stay a while
Make me smile
Please don't leave me here alone
Just stay a while
And baby smile
Since you've been gone
I need to hear from you
Since you've been gone
I need to hear you say
Tell me you're not alright
And you're needing to come home
(Since you've been gone)
Tell me you're not okay
And you're needing me all along
Since you've been gone
I need to hear you say
Since you've been gone (Don't tell me)
I need to hear you say (Don't tell me)
