Martin: Welcome to Your English Toolbox, the podcast that helps you build a better relationship with English, one real conversation at a time.
I'm Martin.
And I'm Julia.
And today, friends, we are doing something completely different and really exciting.
We are going to use a song to unlock a universe of vocabulary, emotion, and self-expression.
Not by studying grammar rules, but by feeling the words.
We're diving deep into Miley Cyrus' flowers.
And Julia, this isn't just a pop song,
Julia: is it?
Not at all.
It's an anthem of self-discovery, a master class in powerful, simple language.
Our goal today is for you to fully feel and understand this song, to make its vocabulary your own, and to see how English can be a tool for building yourself up.
By the end of this episode, you will listen to the song from beginning to end, and you won't just sing along.
You'll understand the profound shift from we to me.
Martin: You'll command a set of powerful verbs about growth and resilience.
And you'll feel the deep satisfaction of connecting with a global story in its original language.
We'll listen to each part of the song in three steps.
First, slower than normal.
Then, the lyrics spoken out loud like a poem.
And finally, at full speed.
This is our learning method applied to music.
Yes, a song played slowly can sound a bit strange.
But it helps you catch every
Julia: word clearly.
That way, when you hear it at full speed, it feels like a victory, not a puzzle.
Music is one of the most powerful emotional tools we have.
A song can express in three minutes what sometimes takes us years to articulate.
And flowers does exactly that.
We are going to learn English by going deep into this song.
Beside, there's a fascinating story behind how it was actually written.
Julia, do you know what this song originally
Martin: sounded like?
I love this story, Martin.
Miley herself revealed in an interview with British Vogue that flowers was born in a very different way.
The original chorus was not empowering at all.
It was actually the saddest song she had ever written.
Really?
What did the original lyrics say?
She said the chorus originally went, I can buy myself flowers, write my name in the sand, but I can't love me better than you can.
It was a 1950s
Julia: style ballad of defeat.
The message was essentially, Sure, I can be my own lover, but you're so much better.
Wow!
That is a completely different emotional universe.
So how did it transform into the anthem we know today?
She described it as a fake it till you make it mentality.
She made a conscious decision to flip the meaning.
Instead of surrendering to the sadness, she chose to declare victory even if she didn't fully feel it yet.
That
Martin: is such a powerful lesson for everyone.
Not just in music, but in language learning too.
Sometimes you have to tell yourself you can do it before you truly believe it.
Exactly.
And the song's connection to her personal life added another layer.
She released it on January 13th, 2023, which happens to be Liam Hemsworth's birthday.
The chorus also cleverly mirrors Bruno Mars' When I Was Your Man, a song reportedly dedicated to Miley during their relationship.
So she
Julia: took the words that represented a past love and reclaimed them for herself.
She literally rewrote her own story.
That's the beauty of it.
The song started as an expression of pain and evolved into a celebration of self-sufficiency.
She turned her heartbreak into something that has helped millions of people feel stronger.
Now it is time to deep dive into the first verse.
We were good.
We were gold.
Kind of dream that can't be sold.
We were right
Martin: till we weren't.
Built a home and watched it burn.
And now we step back to where the story actually begins.
This is verse one.
And the feeling here is a universe away from the chorus we just heard.
It really is, Martin.
If the chorus is standing in the sun, this verse is sifting through the ashes.
And it does something brilliant with grammar right from the first word.
We.
The whole verse is built on we.
We were
Julia: good.
We were gold.
We were right.
It's the language of a shared identity, a joint past.
And all the verbs are in the past simple.
Were.
Built.
Watched.
This isn't just memory.
This is a door that has closed.
A reality that is finished, completed, unreachable.
That creates an immediate feeling of loss, doesn't it?
Even before we understand the details, the grammar tells us something beautiful existed and now it doesn't.
And then she gives us that first
Martin: image. We were gold.
Gold. Think about that word for a moment.
Gold is precious. It's pure.
It doesn't rust or decay. In poetry and in everyday language, a golden age means a time of perfect happiness.
She's saying this relationship felt incorruptible, invaluable. It was the kind of connection people write stories about.
And then she adds. Kind of dream that can't be sold.
This is a fascinating line. A dream that can't be sold means it wasn't commercial,
Julia: it wasn't cheap.
It was authentic.
You can't put a price on it.
Exactly.
And notice the word kind.
Kind of dream.
She doesn't say a dream.
Kind of softens it, makes it feel like she's grasping for words still in awe of what they had.
It's very conversational, very real.
And then friends comes the turning point.
A tiny phrase that carries enormous weight.
We were right till we weren't.
This line is devastating in its simplicity.
Three words
Martin: on each side of till.
Perfect balance, perfect symmetry, until it breaks.
We were right is confident, certain.
And then we weren't just collapses.
No explanation, no details.
Just the fact that something shifted.
It's so true to how relationships actually end, isn't it?
One moment you're sure, the next you're not.
And there's often no clear reason, just a feeling that the ground has changed beneath you.
And what I love about this line is that it mirrors how
Julia: our listeners might sometimes feel in English.
You're speaking, you're confident, you're in the flow, and then suddenly you're not.
The words disappear.
That feeling of I was right until I wasn't is deeply human.
That's a beautiful connection, Julia.
And then she delivers the final image of this verse, and it is cinematic.
Built a home and watched it burn.
This is where the vocabulary becomes so powerful and so painful.
The verb built is about effort, time, investment.
Martin: You don't build something quickly.
A home is not a house.
A house is bricks and wood.
A home is memories, safety, love.
The place where you are most yourself.
And she pairs built with watched.
Watched is a passive verb.
She didn't run, she didn't try to save it, she didn't scream.
She just watched.
That tells us the destruction was unstoppable.
She was a witness to her own loss.
The fire metaphor here is so rich.
Fire destroys
Julia: completely.
It reduces everything to ash.
But fire also purifies.
In many traditions, fire is the beginning of something new, not just the end.
And that's why this verse, as sad as it is, plants the seed for the chorus.
Because you can only watch something burn if you're standing outside it.
She's already separate.
She's already beginning to survive.
So this is a key vocabulary our friends can take from this.
It's the language of grief, but it's also
Martin: the language of clarity. And that clarity is what will carry her and us into the rest of the song.
Let's move on. I didn't want to leave you.
I didn't want to lie. Started to cry, but then remembered I.
This is the pre-chorus. It's the bridge between sadness and strength.
Notice the shift from we to I. The collective story is over.
Now it's just one person speaking her truth. I didn't want to leave you.
Tells us
Julia: this separation was hard.
She didn't walk away feeling strong.
And then the crucial line.
I didn't want to lie.
Staying would have meant lying to herself.
Leaving was painful.
But staying was false.
Started to cry, but then remembered I.
And she stops.
She doesn't finish the sentence.
This unfinished line is brilliant.
We lean in and ask, remembered what?
And the answer is the entire chorus.
That word but is the pivot of the whole song.
Sadness was
Martin: coming.
But something stronger interrupted it.
For our listeners, this is a useful structure.
I didn't want to, but then I remembered.
You can use it to tell your own stories of overcoming fear.
In just three lines, we move from reluctance to tears to the spark of strength.
And now that spark is about to catch fire.
The chorus is coming.
I can buy myself flowers.
Write my name in the sand.
Talk to myself for hours.
Say things
Julia: you don't understand.
I can take myself dancing.
And I can hold my own hand.
Yeah, I can love me better than you can.
Here it is, the heart of the song.
The chorus is a grammatical declaration of independence.
Every single line uses myself.
She is both the giver and the receiver of every action.
That's a reflexive pronoun.
And it means she is complete on her own.
I can is repeated like a heartbeat.
It's not I will
Martin: or I should.
It's I can, a statement of ability and power.
The actions she chooses are deeply personal.
She buys herself flowers, a symbol of love now self-given.
She writes her name in the sand, accepting that identity can be fluid.
She talks to herself for hours and says things you don't understand.
That line isn't an insult.
It's a boundary.
Her inner world is now hers alone.
Take myself dancing and hold my own hand are acts of
Julia: physical self-compassion.
She doesn't wait for someone else to lead or comfort her.
The image of holding your own hand is especially powerful.
It's a gesture usually shared between two people.
Now she provides it for herself.
It's the physical proof that she is enough.
The sand metaphor deserves a closer look.
Writing your name in the sand is traditionally a symbol of impermanence.
The waves come and erase it.
But here she doesn't need a permanent monument.
She is
Martin: content with the moment itself.
She doesn't need to be remembered by someone else to exist.
Compare this to the roses that you left in the second verse.
Traditional roses die in a vase.
But flowers that you buy yourself are an act of ongoing self-care.
The vocabulary shift from roses to flowers is intentional and beautiful.
Roses are a specific romantic gift.
Flowers are for anyone, anytime, including yourself.
Love me better than you can is the final strike.
Julia: The comparative form, better than, is direct and complete.
It's not as well as.
It's better than.
She has moved from comparison to victory.
For our listeners, this chorus is a vocabulary toolkit for self-sufficiency.
You can use I can plus any self-care action to express your own strength.
Try it yourself.
I can make myself proud.
I can give myself time.
I can build myself up.
That's the gift of this chorus.
It gives you the grammar of self-love.
Martin: We are almost there.
We only have left one piece of the puzzle to get the whole meaning of the song.
Paint my nails cherry red.
Match the roses that you left.
No remorse, no regret.
I forgive every word you said.
Ooh, I didn't want to leave you, baby.
I didn't want to fight.
Started to cry, but then remembered I.
Now we reach the final stage of the journey.
This is the moment of aesthetic reclamation.
The verbs
Julia: shift to the present tense.
Paint, match, forgive.
She is no longer remembering the past.
She is acting in the now.
Paint my nails cherry red is a bold image.
Cherry red is the color of passion, vitality, and life.
Remember the gold from verse one?
Gold was the precious past.
Cherry red is the powerful present.
She is wearing her strength visibly.
Match the roses that you left is a genius line.
She takes the symbol of the failed
Martin: relationship and reclaims it.
The roses he left are now just a color to coordinate with her nails.
She has stripped them of their emotional power.
No remorse, no regret is absolute.
These are strong vocabulary words of finality.
Remorse is deep guilt for a wrong committed.
Regret is sadness about a past decision.
She rejects both completely.
I forgive every word you said is the final act.
Forgive is a performative verb.
Saying it performs the action of closing
Julia: the chapter.
She doesn't need an apology from him.
She gives herself the gift of letting go.
The pre-chorus returns but it feels different now.
I didn't want to fight replaces I didn't want to lie.
The conflict is over.
The war is finished.
And she still remembers who she is.
This is total emotional sovereignty.
She has moved from we were gold to I am enough.
For our listeners the vocabulary here is about closure.
To forgive, to let
Martin: go, to have no regret.
These are powerful phrases for ending any difficult chapter.
The song has traveled from fire to flowers.
And now you have the language to describe that journey in English.
And now friends we have traveled together through every corner of this beautiful song.
We started in the ashes of watched it burn.
We felt the hesitation of I didn't want to leave you.
We rose with the power of I can buy myself flowers.
And
Julia: we ended in the triumph of paint my nails cherry red.
You have learned that vocabulary is not just words on a page.
It is feeling it is identity it is power.
Gold burn forgive myself hold my own hand.
These are not just lyrics anymore they are tools for your own expression.
You are not someone who just listens to English.
You are someone who understands English at a deeper level.
You are someone who feels the poetry inside
Martin: the language.
Thank you for staying with us until the very end.
Your commitment to learning through emotion and music is beautiful.
And now we have a gift for you.
We are going to play the whole song one last time.
But this time it will be different.
You will hear it with new ears.
You will feel every verb every pronoun every metaphor.
You will hear the journey from we to me in real time.
Close your eyes if
Julia: you can.
Let the words wash over you.
Notice what you now understand that you didn't before.
That feeling is growth.
That feeling is yours.
We loved creating this episode for you.
And we want to know what you thought.
Did you enjoy this new format of learning through music.
Was it helpful to hear the song slow, spoken, and then fast?
What song do you want us to analyze in a future episode?
Please let us know in the
Martin: comments.
Your voice matters in this community of friends learning together.
Now take a deep breath.
Here is Miley Cyrus with flowers.
One last time.
Listen like you have never listened before.
We are Martin and Julia.
Thank you for being here.
See you in the next episode.
Thank you for listening.

ENBeside, there's a fascinating story behind how it was actually written.

ENJulia, do you know what this song originally
EspañolJulia, ¿sabes cómo sonaba originalmente esta canción?
ENsounded like? I love this story, Martin.
EspañolMe encanta esta historia, Martin.
ENMiley herself revealed in an interview with British Vogue that flowers was born in a very different way. The original chorus was not empowering at all.
EspañolLa propia Miley reveló en una entrevista con British Vogue que 'Flowers' nació de una manera muy diferente. El coro original no era empoderador en absoluto.

EspañolDe hecho, era la canción más triste que había escrito. ¿De verdad? ¿Qué decían las letras originales?
ENWhat did the original lyrics say? She said the chorus originally went, I can buy myself flowers, write my name in the sand, but I can't love me better than you can.
EspañolElla dijo que el coro originalmente decía: 'Puedo comprarme flores, escribir mi nombre en la arena, pero no puedo amarme mejor de lo que tú puedes'.
ENIt was a 1950s

ENstyle ballad of defeat. The message was essentially, Sure, I can be my own lover, but you're so much better.
EspañolEl mensaje era esencialmente: Claro, puedo ser mi propia amante, pero tú eres mucho mejor. ¡Vaya! Ese es un universo emocional completamente diferente.
ENWow! That is a completely different emotional universe.
EspañolEntonces, ¿cómo se transformó en el himno que conocemos hoy?

EspañolElla lo describió como una mentalidad de 'finge hasta que lo logres'. Tomó la decisión consciente de cambiar el significado.
ENShe made a conscious decision to flip the meaning. Instead of surrendering to the sadness, she chose to declare victory even if she didn't fully feel it yet.

ENis such a powerful lesson for everyone.

ENNot just in music, but in language learning too.
EspañolNo solo en la música, sino también en el aprendizaje de idiomas.
ENSometimes you have to tell yourself you can do it before you truly believe it.
EspañolA veces tienes que decirte a ti mismo que puedes hacerlo antes de que realmente lo creas.
ENExactly.
EspañolExactamente.
ENAnd the song's connection to her personal life added another layer.
EspañolY la conexión de la canción con su vida personal añadió otra capa.
ENShe released it on January 13th, 2023, which happens to be Liam Hemsworth's birthday.
EspañolLa lanzó el 13 de enero de 2023, que resulta ser el cumpleaños de Liam Hemsworth.
ENThe chorus also cleverly mirrors Bruno Mars' When I Was Your Man, a song reportedly dedicated to Miley during their relationship.

ENWe were good.

ENWe were gold.
EspañolÉramos oro.
ENKind of dream that can't be sold.

ENWe were right
EspañolEstuvimos bien

ENAnd now we step back to where the story actually begins.

ENThis is verse one.
EspañolEste es el verso uno.
ENAnd the feeling here is a universe away from the chorus we just heard.
EspañolY el sentimiento aquí está a un universo de distancia del coro que acabamos de escuchar.
ENIt really is, Martin.
EspañolRealmente lo está, Martin.
ENIf the chorus is standing in the sun, this verse is sifting through the ashes.
EspañolSi el coro está de pie bajo el sol, este verso está filtrando las cenizas.
ENAnd it does something brilliant with grammar right from the first word.
EspañolY hace algo brillante con la gramática desde la primera palabra.
ENWe.
Español'Nosotros'.
ENThe whole verse is built on we.
EspañolTodo el verso se construye sobre 'nosotros'.
ENWe were
Español'Éramos
ENgood. We were gold.
Españolbuenos. Éramos oro.
ENWe were right. It's the language of a shared identity, a joint past.

ENAnd all the verbs are in the past simple. Were.
EspañolY todos los verbos están en pasado simple. 'Éramos. Construimos.
ENBuilt. Watched.
EspañolVimos'.
ENThis isn't just memory. This is a door that has closed.
EspañolEsto no es solo memoria. Esta es una puerta que se ha cerrado.
ENA reality that is finished, completed, unreachable. That creates an immediate feeling of loss, doesn't it?
EspañolUna realidad que ha terminado, completada, inalcanzable. Eso crea una sensación inmediata de pérdida, ¿no?
ENEven before we understand the details, the grammar tells us something beautiful existed and now it doesn't. And then she gives us that first
EspañolIncluso antes de que entendamos los detalles, la gramática nos dice que algo hermoso existió y ahora no lo hace. Y luego nos da esa primera
ENimage.
Españolimagen.
ENWe were gold.
Español'Éramos oro'.
ENGold.
EspañolOro.
ENThink about that word for a moment.
EspañolPiensa en esa palabra por un momento.
ENGold is precious.
EspañolEl oro es precioso.
ENIt's pure.
EspañolEs puro.
ENIt doesn't rust or decay.
EspañolNo se oxida ni se descompone.
ENIn poetry and in everyday language, a golden age means a time of perfect happiness.
EspañolEn la poesía y en el lenguaje cotidiano, una era dorada significa un tiempo de felicidad perfecta.
ENShe's saying this relationship felt incorruptible, invaluable.
EspañolElla está diciendo que esta relación se sentía incorruptible, invaluable.
ENIt was the kind of connection people write stories about.
EspañolEra el tipo de conexión sobre la que la gente escribe historias.
ENAnd then she adds.
EspañolY luego añade.
ENKind of dream that can't be sold.
Español'Una especie de sueño que no se puede vender'.
ENThis is a fascinating line.
EspañolEsta es una línea fascinante.
ENA dream that can't be sold means it wasn't commercial,
EspañolUn sueño que no se puede vender significa que no era comercial,
ENit wasn't cheap.
Españolno era barato.
ENIt was authentic.
EspañolEra auténtico.
ENYou can't put a price on it.
EspañolNo se le puede poner un precio.
ENExactly.
EspañolExactamente.
ENAnd notice the word kind.
EspañolY nota la palabra 'una especie de'.
ENKind of dream.
Español'Una especie de sueño'.
ENShe doesn't say a dream.
EspañolNo dice 'un sueño'.
ENKind of softens it, makes it feel like she's grasping for words still in awe of what they had.
Español'Una especie de' lo suaviza, hace que se sienta como si estuviera buscando palabras aún asombrada por lo que tenían.
ENIt's very conversational, very real.
EspañolEs muy conversacional, muy real.
ENAnd then friends comes the turning point.
EspañolY luego, amigos, viene el punto de inflexión.
ENA tiny phrase that carries enormous weight.
EspañolUna pequeña frase que lleva un enorme peso.
ENWe were right till we weren't.
Español'Estuvimos bien hasta que no lo estuvimos'.
ENThis line is devastating in its simplicity.
EspañolEsta línea es devastadora en su simplicidad.
ENThree words
EspañolTres palabras
ENon each side of till.
Española cada lado de 'hasta'.
ENPerfect balance, perfect symmetry, until it breaks.
EspañolPerfecto equilibrio, perfecta simetría, hasta que se rompe.
ENWe were right is confident, certain.
Español'Estuvimos bien' es confiado, seguro.
ENAnd then we weren't just collapses.
EspañolY luego 'no lo estuvimos' simplemente colapsa.
ENNo explanation, no details.
EspañolSin explicación, sin detalles.
ENJust the fact that something shifted.
EspañolSolo el hecho de que algo cambió.
ENIt's so true to how relationships actually end, isn't it?
EspañolEs tan cierto cómo terminan las relaciones, ¿no?
ENOne moment you're sure, the next you're not.
EspañolUn momento estás seguro, al siguiente no lo estás.
ENAnd there's often no clear reason, just a feeling that the ground has changed beneath you.
EspañolY a menudo no hay una razón clara, solo una sensación de que el suelo ha cambiado bajo tus pies.
ENAnd what I love about this line is that it mirrors how
EspañolY lo que me encanta de esta línea es que refleja cómo
ENour listeners might sometimes feel in English.
Españolnuestros oyentes a veces pueden sentirse en inglés.
ENYou're speaking, you're confident, you're in the flow, and then suddenly you're not.
EspañolEstás hablando, estás seguro, estás en la fluidez, y de repente ya no lo estás.
ENThe words disappear.
EspañolLas palabras desaparecen.
ENThat feeling of I was right until I wasn't is deeply human.
EspañolEsa sensación de 'estuve bien hasta que no lo estuve' es profundamente humana.
ENThat's a beautiful connection, Julia.
EspañolEsa es una conexión hermosa, Julia.
ENAnd then she delivers the final image of this verse, and it is cinematic.
EspañolY luego entrega la imagen final de este verso, y es cinematográfica.
ENBuilt a home and watched it burn.
Español'Construimos un hogar y lo vimos arder'.
ENThis is where the vocabulary becomes so powerful and so painful.
EspañolAquí es donde el vocabulario se vuelve tan poderoso y tan doloroso.
ENThe verb built is about effort, time, investment.
EspañolEl verbo 'construir' es sobre esfuerzo, tiempo, inversión.
ENYou don't build something quickly.
EspañolNo construyes algo rápidamente.
ENA home is not a house.
EspañolUn hogar no es una casa.
ENA house is bricks and wood.
EspañolUna casa son ladrillos y madera.
ENA home is memories, safety, love.
EspañolUn hogar son recuerdos, seguridad, amor.
ENThe place where you are most yourself.
EspañolEl lugar donde eres más tú mismo.
ENAnd she pairs built with watched.
EspañolY empareja 'construir' con 'ver'.
ENWatched is a passive verb.
Español'Ver' es un verbo pasivo.
ENShe didn't run, she didn't try to save it, she didn't scream.
EspañolNo corrió, no intentó salvarlo, no gritó.
ENShe just watched.
EspañolSimplemente miró.
ENThat tells us the destruction was unstoppable.
EspañolEso nos dice que la destrucción era imparable.
ENShe was a witness to her own loss.
EspañolElla fue testigo de su propia pérdida.
ENThe fire metaphor here is so rich.
EspañolLa metáfora del fuego aquí es tan rica.
ENFire destroys
EspañolEl fuego destruye
ENcompletely.
Españolcompletamente.
ENIt reduces everything to ash.
EspañolReduce todo a cenizas.
ENBut fire also purifies.
EspañolPero el fuego también purifica.
ENIn many traditions, fire is the beginning of something new, not just the end.
EspañolEn muchas tradiciones, el fuego es el comienzo de algo nuevo, no solo el final.
ENAnd that's why this verse, as sad as it is, plants the seed for the chorus.
EspañolY por eso este verso, tan triste como es, planta la semilla para el coro.
ENBecause you can only watch something burn if you're standing outside it.
EspañolPorque solo puedes ver algo arder si estás de pie fuera de él.
ENShe's already separate.
EspañolElla ya está separada.
ENShe's already beginning to survive.
EspañolElla ya está comenzando a sobrevivir.
ENSo this is a key vocabulary our friends can take from this.
EspañolAsí que este es un vocabulario clave que nuestros amigos pueden tomar de esto.
ENIt's the language of grief, but it's also
EspañolEs el lenguaje del duelo, pero también es
ENthe language of clarity.
Españolel lenguaje de la claridad.
ENAnd that clarity is what will carry her and us into the rest of the song.
EspañolY esa claridad es lo que la llevará a ella y a nosotros al resto de la canción.
ENLet's move on.
EspañolPasemos a la siguiente parte.
ENI didn't want to leave you.
Español'No quería dejarte.
ENI didn't want to lie.
EspañolNo quería mentir.
ENStarted to cry, but then remembered I.
EspañolComencé a llorar, pero luego recordé que yo'.
ENThis is the pre-chorus.
EspañolEste es el pre-coro.
ENIt's the bridge between sadness and strength.
EspañolEs el puente entre la tristeza y la fuerza.
ENNotice the shift from we to I.
EspañolNota el cambio de 'nosotros' a 'yo'.
ENThe collective story is over.
EspañolLa historia colectiva ha terminado.
ENNow it's just one person speaking her truth.
EspañolAhora solo es una persona hablando su verdad.
ENI didn't want to leave you.
Español'No quería dejarte'.
ENTells us
EspañolNos dice
ENthis separation was hard.
Españolque esta separación fue difícil.
ENShe didn't walk away feeling strong.
EspañolNo se alejó sintiéndose fuerte.
ENAnd then the crucial line.
EspañolY luego la línea crucial.
ENI didn't want to lie.
Español'No quería mentir'.
ENStaying would have meant lying to herself.
EspañolQuedarse habría significado mentirse a sí misma.
ENLeaving was painful.
EspañolDejarlo fue doloroso.
ENBut staying was false.
EspañolPero quedarse era falso.
ENStarted to cry, but then remembered I.
Español'Comencé a llorar, pero luego recordé que yo'.
ENAnd she stops.
EspañolY se detiene.
ENShe doesn't finish the sentence.
EspañolNo termina la oración.
ENThis unfinished line is brilliant.
EspañolEsta línea inacabada es brillante.
ENWe lean in and ask, remembered what?
EspañolNos inclinamos y preguntamos, ¿recordó qué?
ENAnd the answer is the entire chorus.
EspañolY la respuesta es todo el coro.
ENThat word but is the pivot of the whole song.
EspañolEsa palabra 'pero' es el pivote de toda la canción.
ENSadness was
EspañolLa tristeza estaba
ENcoming.
Españolllegando.
ENBut something stronger interrupted it.
EspañolPero algo más fuerte la interrumpió.
ENFor our listeners, this is a useful structure.
EspañolPara nuestros oyentes, esta es una estructura útil.
ENI didn't want to, but then I remembered.
Español'No quería, pero luego recordé'.
ENYou can use it to tell your own stories of overcoming fear.
EspañolPuedes usarla para contar tus propias historias de superar el miedo.
ENIn just three lines, we move from reluctance to tears to the spark of strength.
EspañolEn solo tres líneas, pasamos de la reticencia a las lágrimas a la chispa de la fuerza.
ENAnd now that spark is about to catch fire.
EspañolY ahora esa chispa está a punto de encenderse.
ENThe chorus is coming.
EspañolEl coro se acerca.
ENI can buy myself flowers.
Español'Puedo comprarme flores.
ENWrite my name in the sand.
EspañolEscribir mi nombre en la arena.
ENTalk to myself for hours.
EspañolHablar conmigo misma durante horas.
ENSay things
EspañolDecir cosas
ENyou don't understand. I can take myself dancing.
Españolque no entiendes. Puedo llevarme a bailar sola.
ENAnd I can hold my own hand. Yeah, I can love me better than you can.
EspañolY puedo tomarme de la mano. Sí, puedo amarme mejor de lo que tú puedes.
ENHere it is, the heart of the song.
EspañolAquí está, el corazón de la canción.
ENThe chorus is a grammatical declaration of independence.
EspañolEl coro es una declaración gramatical de independencia.
ENEvery single line uses myself. She is both the giver and the receiver of every action.
EspañolCada línea usa myself. Ella es tanto la dadora como la receptora de cada acción.
ENThat's a reflexive pronoun. And it means she is complete on her own.
EspañolEso es un pronombre reflexivo. Y significa que está completa por sí misma.
ENI can is repeated like a heartbeat. It's not I will
Español"I can" se repite como un latido. No es "I will"
ENor I should. It's I can, a statement of ability and power.
Españolni "I should". Es "I can", una declaración de habilidad y poder.
ENThe actions she chooses are deeply personal. She buys herself flowers, a symbol of love now self-given.
EspañolLas acciones que elige son profundamente personales. Se compra flores, un símbolo de amor ahora auto-dado.
ENShe writes her name in the sand, accepting that identity can be fluid. She talks to herself for hours and says things you don't understand.
EspañolEscribe su nombre en la arena, aceptando que la identidad puede ser fluida. Habla consigo misma durante horas y dice cosas que tú no entiendes.
ENThat line isn't an insult. It's a boundary.
EspañolEsa línea no es un insulto. Es un límite.
ENHer inner world is now hers alone. Take myself dancing and hold my own hand are acts of
EspañolSu mundo interior ahora es solo de ella. "Llevarme a bailar" y "tomarme de la mano" son actos de
ENphysical self-compassion. She doesn't wait for someone else to lead or comfort her.
Españolautocompasión física. No espera que alguien más la guíe o la consuele.
ENThe image of holding your own hand is especially powerful. It's a gesture usually shared between two people.
EspañolLa imagen de tomarse de la mano es especialmente poderosa. Es un gesto que normalmente se comparte entre dos personas.
ENNow she provides it for herself. It's the physical proof that she is enough.
EspañolAhora ella se lo da a sí misma. Es la prueba física de que es suficiente.
ENThe sand metaphor deserves a closer look. Writing your name in the sand is traditionally a symbol of impermanence.
EspañolLa metáfora de la arena merece un examen más detenido. Escribir tu nombre en la arena es tradicionalmente un símbolo de impermanencia.
ENThe waves come and erase it. But here she doesn't need a permanent monument.
EspañolLas olas llegan y lo borran. Pero aquí ella no necesita un monumento permanente.
ENShe is
EspañolElla está
ENcontent with the moment itself. She doesn't need to be remembered by someone else to exist.
Españolcontenta con el momento en sí. No necesita que alguien más la recuerde para existir.
ENCompare this to the roses that you left in the second verse. Traditional roses die in a vase.
EspañolCompara esto con las rosas que dejaste en el segundo verso. Las rosas tradicionales mueren en un jarrón.
ENBut flowers that you buy yourself are an act of ongoing self-care. The vocabulary shift from roses to flowers is intentional and beautiful.
EspañolPero las flores que te compras son un acto de cuidado personal continuo. El cambio de vocabulario de rosas a flores es intencional y hermoso.
ENRoses are a specific romantic gift. Flowers are for anyone, anytime, including yourself.
EspañolLas rosas son un regalo romántico específico. Las flores son para cualquiera, en cualquier momento, incluyéndote a ti misma.
ENLove me better than you can is the final strike.
Español"Love me better than you can" es el golpe final.
ENThe comparative form, better than, is direct and complete.
EspañolLa forma comparativa, "better than", es directa y completa.
ENIt's not as well as.
EspañolNo es "as well as".
ENIt's better than.
EspañolEs "better than".
ENShe has moved from comparison to victory.
EspañolHa pasado de la comparación a la victoria.
ENFor our listeners, this chorus is a vocabulary toolkit for self-sufficiency.
EspañolPara nuestros oyentes, este coro es un kit de vocabulario para la autosuficiencia.
ENYou can use I can plus any self-care action to express your own strength.
EspañolPuedes usar "I can" más cualquier acción de autocuidado para expresar tu propia fortaleza.

ENI can make myself proud.
EspañolPuedo hacerme sentir orgulloso de mí mismo.
ENI can give myself time.
EspañolPuedo darme tiempo a mí mismo.
ENI can build myself up.

EspañolTe da la gramática del amor propio.
ENWe are almost there.
EspañolYa casi llegamos.
ENWe only have left one piece of the puzzle to get the whole meaning of the song.

Españolcambian al tiempo presente. Paint, match, forgive.
ENShe is no longer remembering the past. She is acting in the now.
EspañolYa no está recordando el pasado. Está actuando en el presente.
ENPaint my nails cherry red is a bold image. Cherry red is the color of passion, vitality, and life.
Español"Paint my nails cherry red" es una imagen audaz. El rojo cereza es el color de la pasión, la vitalidad y la vida.
ENRemember the gold from verse one? Gold was the precious past.
Español¿Recuerdas el oro del primer verso? El oro era el pasado precioso.
ENCherry red is the powerful present. She is wearing her strength visibly.
EspañolEl rojo cereza es el presente poderoso. Lleva su fortaleza de forma visible.
ENMatch the roses that you left is a genius line. She takes the symbol of the failed
Español"Match the roses that you left" es una línea genial. Ella toma el símbolo de la
ENrelationship and reclaims it. The roses he left are now just a color to coordinate with her nails.
Españolrelación fallida y lo reclama. Las rosas que él dejó son ahora solo un color para coordinar con sus uñas.
ENShe has stripped them of their emotional power.
EspañolLes ha quitado su poder emocional.
ENNo remorse, no regret is absolute.

ENRegret is sadness about a past decision.
EspañolRegret es tristeza por una decisión pasada.
ENShe rejects both completely.

ENSaying it performs the action of closing
EspañolDecirlo realiza la acción de cerrar
ENthe chapter. She doesn't need an apology from him.
Españolel capítulo. Ella no necesita una disculpa de él.
ENShe gives herself the gift of letting go. The pre-chorus returns but it feels different now.
EspañolSe da a sí misma el regalo de soltar. El pre-coro regresa pero ahora se siente diferente.

ENFor our listeners the vocabulary here is about closure. To forgive, to let

DeutschSie beschrieb es als eine Fake-it-till-you-make-it-Mentalität.

DeutschSie traf eine bewusste Entscheidung, die Bedeutung umzukehren.
ENInstead of surrendering to the sadness, she chose to declare victory even if she didn't fully feel it yet.
DeutschAnstatt sich der Traurigkeit zu ergeben, entschied sie sich, den Sieg zu verkünden, auch wenn sie ihn noch nicht wirklich fühlte.
ENThat
DeutschDas

ENEven before we understand the details, the grammar tells us something beautiful existed and now it doesn't.
DeutschNoch bevor wir die Details verstehen, sagt uns die Grammatik, dass etwas Wunderschönes existiert hat und jetzt nicht mehr existiert.
ENAnd then she gives us that first

ENAnd then she adds. Kind of dream that can't be sold.

ENour listeners might sometimes feel in English.
Deutschunsere Zuhörer manchmal beim Englischsprechen fühlen könnten.
ENYou're speaking, you're confident, you're in the flow, and then suddenly you're not.
DeutschMan spricht, ist selbstsicher, ist im Fluss, und dann plötzlich ist man es nicht mehr.
ENThe words disappear.
DeutschDie Worte verschwinden.
ENThat feeling of I was right until I wasn't is deeply human.
DeutschDieses Gefühl von Ich hatte Recht, bis ich es nicht mehr hatte ist zutiefst menschlich.
ENThat's a beautiful connection, Julia.
DeutschDas ist eine wunderschöne Verbindung, Julia.
ENAnd then she delivers the final image of this verse, and it is cinematic.
DeutschUnd dann liefert sie das letzte Bild dieses Verses, und es ist kinematografisch.
ENBuilt a home and watched it burn.

ENThis is where the vocabulary becomes so powerful and so painful.
DeutschDas ist der Moment, an dem der Wortschatz so kraftvoll und so schmerzhaft wird.
ENThe verb built is about effort, time, investment.

ENShe didn't run, she didn't try to save it, she didn't scream.
DeutschSie ist nicht weggelaufen, sie hat nicht versucht, es zu retten, sie hat nicht geschrien.
ENShe just watched.
DeutschSie hat nur zugeschaut.
ENThat tells us the destruction was unstoppable.
DeutschDas sagt uns, dass die Zerstörung unaufhaltsam war.
ENShe was a witness to her own loss.
DeutschSie war Zeugin ihres eigenen Verlustes.
ENThe fire metaphor here is so rich.
DeutschDie Feuer-Metapher hier ist so reichhaltig.
ENFire destroys
DeutschFeuer zerstört
ENcompletely.
Deutschvollständig.
ENIt reduces everything to ash.
DeutschEs reduziert alles zu Asche.
ENBut fire also purifies.
DeutschAber Feuer reinigt auch.
ENIn many traditions, fire is the beginning of something new, not just the end.
DeutschIn vielen Traditionen ist Feuer der Beginn von etwas Neuem, nicht nur das Ende.
ENAnd that's why this verse, as sad as it is, plants the seed for the chorus.
DeutschUnd deshalb pflanzt dieser Vers, so traurig er auch ist, den Samen für den Refrain.
ENBecause you can only watch something burn if you're standing outside it.
DeutschDenn man kann nur zuschauen, wie etwas brennt, wenn man außerhalb davon steht.
ENShe's already separate.

DeutschDas ist also ein wichtiger Wortschatz, den unsere Freunde mitnehmen können.

DeutschEs ist die Sprache der Trauer, aber es ist auch
ENthe language of clarity. And that clarity is what will carry her and us into the rest of the song.
Deutschdie Sprache der Klarheit. Und diese Klarheit ist es, die sie und uns in den Rest des Songs tragen wird.
ENLet's move on. I didn't want to leave you.

ENThis is the pre-chorus. It's the bridge between sadness and strength.
DeutschDas ist die Pre-Chorus-Phase.
ENNotice the shift from we to I. The collective story is over.
DeutschSie ist die Brücke zwischen Traurigkeit und Stärke. Beachtet die Verschiebung von we zu I.
ENNow it's just one person speaking her truth. I didn't want to leave you.

ENTells us
DeutschI didn't want to leave you sagt uns,
ENthis separation was hard.

ENShe didn't walk away feeling strong.
DeutschSie ist nicht mit einem starken Gefühl weggegangen.
ENAnd then the crucial line.
DeutschUnd dann die entscheidende Zeile.
ENI didn't want to lie.
DeutschIch wollte nicht lügen.
ENStaying would have meant lying to herself.
DeutschZu bleiben hätte bedeutet, sich selbst zu belügen.
ENLeaving was painful.
DeutschWeggehen war schmerzhaft.
ENBut staying was false.
DeutschAber Bleiben war falsch.
ENStarted to cry, but then remembered I.
DeutschFing an zu weinen, aber dann erinnerte ich mich.
ENAnd she stops.
DeutschUnd sie hört auf.
ENShe doesn't finish the sentence.
DeutschSie beendet den Satz nicht.
ENThis unfinished line is brilliant.
DeutschDiese unvollendete Zeile ist brillant.
ENWe lean in and ask, remembered what?
DeutschWir lehnen uns vor und fragen: Woran erinnert?
ENAnd the answer is the entire chorus.
DeutschUnd die Antwort ist der gesamte Refrain.
ENThat word but is the pivot of the whole song.
DeutschDas Wort but ist der Dreh- und Angelpunkt des ganzen Songs.
ENSadness was
DeutschTraurigkeit war
ENcoming.
Deutschim Kommen.
ENBut something stronger interrupted it.
DeutschAber etwas Stärkeres unterbrach es.
ENFor our listeners, this is a useful structure.
DeutschFür unsere Zuhörer ist das eine nützliche Struktur.
ENI didn't want to, but then I remembered.
DeutschIch wollte nicht, aber dann erinnerte ich mich.
ENYou can use it to tell your own stories of overcoming fear.
DeutschMan kann sie nutzen, um seine eigenen Geschichten des Überwindens von Angst zu erzählen.
ENIn just three lines, we move from reluctance to tears to the spark of strength.

ENIt's the physical proof that she is enough.
DeutschEs ist der körperliche Beweis dafür, dass sie genug ist.
ENThe sand metaphor deserves a closer look.
DeutschDie Sand-Metapher verdient einen genaueren Blick.
ENWriting your name in the sand is traditionally a symbol of impermanence.
DeutschDen eigenen Namen in den Sand zu schreiben ist traditionell ein Symbol der Vergänglichkeit.
ENThe waves come and erase it.

ENBut here she doesn't need a permanent monument.

ENcontent with the moment itself.

ENShe doesn't need to be remembered by someone else to exist.

ENAnd I'm Julia.
فارسیو من جولیا.
ENAnd today, friends, we are doing something completely different and really exciting.
فارسیو امروز، دوستان، ما کاری کاملاً متفاوت و واقعاً هیجانانگیز انجام میدهیم.
ENWe are going to use a song to unlock a universe of vocabulary, emotion, and self-expression.
فارسیما از یک آهنگ استفاده میکنیم تا دنیایی از واژگان، احساسات و ابراز وجود را کشف کنیم.
ENNot by studying grammar rules, but by feeling the words.
فارسینه با مطالعه قوانین دستوری، بلکه با احساس کردن کلمات.
ENWe're diving deep into Miley Cyrus' flowers.
فارسیما به عمق آهنگ Flowers از مایلی سایرس فرو میرویم.
ENAnd Julia, this isn't just a pop song,
فارسیو جولیا، این فقط یک ترانه پاپ نیست،
ENis it?
فارسیمگر هست؟
ENNot at all.
فارسیاصلاً.

ENword clearly.
فارسیکلمه را به وضوح بگیرید.
ENThat way, when you hear it at full speed, it feels like a victory, not a puzzle.
فارسیبه این ترتیب، وقتی آن را با سرعت کامل میشنوید، مثل یک پیروزی احساس میشود، نه یک معما.

فارسیموسیقی یکی از قویترین ابزارهای احساسی است که داریم.
ENA song can express in three minutes what sometimes takes us years to articulate.

فارسیما با فرورفتن عمیق در این آهنگ، انگلیسی یاد میگیریم.

ENJulia, do you know what this song originally
فارسیجولیا، میدانی این آهنگ اصلاً چه
ENsounded like?
فارسیصدایی داشت؟
ENI love this story, Martin.

ENMiley herself revealed in an interview with British Vogue that flowers was born in a very different way.
فارسیمایلی خودش در مصاحبهای با British Vogue فاش کرد که Flowers به شکل بسیار متفاوتی متولد شد.
ENThe original chorus was not empowering at all.
فارسیریفرن اصلی اصلاً توانمندسازنده نبود.
ENIt was actually the saddest song she had ever written.
فارسیدر واقع غمگینترین آهنگی بود که تا به حال نوشته بود.
ENReally?
فارسیواقعاً؟
ENWhat did the original lyrics say?
فارسیمتن اصلی چه بود؟
ENShe said the chorus originally went, I can buy myself flowers, write my name in the sand, but I can't love me better than you can.
فارسیگفت ریفرن اصلاً اینطور بود: میتوانم برای خودم گل بخرم، اسمم را روی شن بنویسم، اما نمیتوانم خودم را بهتر از تو دوست داشته باشم.
ENIt was a 1950s
فارسیاین یک
ENstyle ballad of defeat.
فارسیبالاد شکست به سبک دهه پنجاه بود.
ENThe message was essentially, Sure, I can be my own lover, but you're so much better.
فارسیپیام اساساً این بود: بله، میتوانم عاشق خودم باشم، اما تو خیلی بهتری.
ENWow!
فارسیواو!
ENThat is a completely different emotional universe.
فارسیاین یک دنیای احساسی کاملاً متفاوت است.
ENSo how did it transform into the anthem we know today?
فارسیپس چطور به سرودی که امروز میشناسیم تبدیل شد؟
ENShe described it as a fake it till you make it mentality.
فارسیاو آن را به عنوان ذهنیت وانمود کن تا بتوانی توصیف کرد.
ENShe made a conscious decision to flip the meaning.
فارسیاو یک تصمیم آگاهانه برای معکوس کردن معنا گرفت.
ENInstead of surrendering to the sadness, she chose to declare victory even if she didn't fully feel it yet.
فارسیبه جای تسلیم شدن به غم، انتخاب کرد که پیروزی را اعلام کند حتی اگر هنوز کاملاً آن را احساس نکند.
ENThat
فارسیاین
ENis such a powerful lesson for everyone.
فارسییک درس بسیار قدرتمند برای همه است.
ENNot just in music, but in language learning too.
فارسینه فقط در موسیقی، بلکه در یادگیری زبان هم.
ENSometimes you have to tell yourself you can do it before you truly believe it.

ENExactly.
فارسیدقیقاً.
ENAnd the song's connection to her personal life added another layer.
فارسیو ارتباط آهنگ با زندگی شخصی او لایه دیگری اضافه کرد.
ENShe released it on January 13th, 2023, which happens to be Liam Hemsworth's birthday.
فارسیاو آن را در ۱۳ ژانویه ۲۰۲۳ منتشر کرد، که اتفاقاً تولد لیام همزورث است.
ENThe chorus also cleverly mirrors Bruno Mars' When I Was Your Man, a song reportedly dedicated to Miley during their relationship.
فارسیریفرن همچنین به زیبایی آهنگ When I Was Your Man برونو مارس را منعکس میکند، آهنگی که گزارش شده در دوران رابطهشان به مایلی تقدیم شده بود.
ENSo she
فارسیپس او
ENtook the words that represented a past love and reclaimed them for herself.
فارسیکلماتی را که نشاندهنده عشق گذشته بودند برداشت و آنها را برای خودش بازپس گرفت.
ENShe literally rewrote her own story.
فارسیاو به معنای واقعی کلمه داستان خودش را دوباره نوشت.
ENThat's the beauty of it.
فارسیاین زیبایی ماجراست.

ENShe turned her heartbreak into something that has helped millions of people feel stronger.
فارسیاو شکست عاطفیاش را به چیزی تبدیل کرد که به میلیونها نفر کمک کرده احساس قدرت کنند.

فارسیما خوب بودیم.
ENWe were gold.
فارسیما طلا بودیم.
ENKind of dream that can't be sold.
فارسینوعی رویا که نمیتوان آن را فروخت.
ENWe were right
فارسیما درست بودیم
ENtill we weren't.
فارسیتا زمانی که نبودیم.
ENBuilt a home and watched it burn.
فارسیخانهای ساختیم و تماشا کردیم که میسوزد.
ENAnd now we step back to where the story actually begins.
فارسیو حالا به جایی برمیگردیم که داستان واقعاً آغاز میشود.
ENThis is verse one.
فارسیاین بند اول است.
ENAnd the feeling here is a universe away from the chorus we just heard.
فارسیو احساس اینجا از ریفرنی که تازه شنیدیم فاصلهای به اندازه یک دنیا دارد.
ENIt really is, Martin.
فارسیواقعاً همینطور است، مارتین.
ENIf the chorus is standing in the sun, this verse is sifting through the ashes.
فارسیاگر ریفرن در آفتاب ایستاده، این بند خاکستر را غربال میکند.
ENAnd it does something brilliant with grammar right from the first word.
فارسیو از همان کلمه اول کار درخشانی با دستور زبان انجام میدهد.
ENWe.
فارسیما.
