What does que nos demos la vida mean?

Question

Hi, I am trying to understand this sentence but it doesn't make any sense to me, "lo que quiero es estar contigo y que nos demos la vida". I understand the first part of the sentence but when I translate "y que nos demos la vida" it tells me "and we know life", is this correct because it doesn't seem right to me?

Answer 1

dar la vida por -> to give one's life for

The nos demos coulld be either reciprocal or reflexive. Literally, we give each other life or we give ourselves life.

Fighuratively, I would imagine that it means "we will live for one another" or give each other's life meaning. Without more context, hard to say.

Answer 2

demos ..... subjunctive 3rd person of Dar (to give)

Answer 3

And we give our lives to each other / Y nos demos la vida

This is its literal meaning, but it means something like "Let's enjoy this life together"

I hope it helps
