Phrases in this song: Spanish | English Siempre he vivido así | I have always lived like this Siempre hemos caminado juntos | We have always walked together Siempre he aprendido haciendo | I have always learned by doing Siempre hemos trabajado juntos | We have always worked together Nunca he vivido allí | I have never lived there Nunca he dejado de aprender | I have never stopped learning Nunca hemos caminado solos | We have never walked alone Nunca hemos dejado de intentar | We have never given up Alguna vez he vivido en Nueva York | I have lived in New York Alguna vez hemos viajado a Perú | We have traveled to Peru Ya he aprendido mucho | I have already learned a lot Ya hemos vivido en Brooklyn | We have already lived in Brooklyn Ya he visto eso | I have already seen that Ya hemos decidido | We have already decided Todavía no he vivido allí | I still haven't lived there Aún no he aprendido eso | I haven't learned that yet Todavía no nos hemos mudado | We still haven't moved Aún no hemos terminado | We haven't finished yet Haber + tiempo, una sola idea en movimiento | Haber + time, one single idea in motion The six time expressions — when to use each: Spanish English Use Siempre he… I have always… Consistent past pattern Nunca he… I have never… Complete absence Alguna vez he… Have I ever… / I have once… Question or past experience Ya he… I have already… Completed before expected Todavía no he… I still haven't… Expected but not yet done Aún no he… I haven't yet… Same as todavía no, slightly more formal Word order — where the time word goes: In Spanish the time word almost always comes before he/hemos: Siempre he vivido así. Nunca hemos caminado solos. Ya he aprendido mucho. Todavía no hemos terminado. The song models this word order in every single line so it becomes natural before you ever need to think about it. How to use this song: Each verse focuses on one time word — listen to them as six separate mini-lessons The chorus locks in all six in sequence — say each one out loud every time it comes around Nunca hemos dejado de intentar — we have never given up — that one is worth keeping beyond the Spanish lesson After listening try one sentence for each time expression using your own life — siempre he ___, nunca he ___, ya he ___, todavía no he ___ How this fits the series: Ep. 12 — Past participles introduced Ep. 38 — Present perfect with he/hemos in three tenses Ep. 42 — Present perfect with time expressions for full nuance New here?
