B1 German · obwohl (although) + verb-final
Erster Frost
The first frost of the year on an empty parking lot, two people keeping warm against the cold windows until sunrise. A reggaeton love scene whose hook concedes the cold with one very useful conjunction.

Lights flicker on the wet street
First frost kisses the car windows
I am the man with cold hands
Parking lot empty, just you and stars
Your breath paints mist around your smile
You laugh, draw hearts into the ice
Our night stays on the car hoods
Baby, dance with me in the first frost
Warm skin, even though the street freezes
Your hands are my little fire
Stay with me until the morning thaws
Sirens far away, here it is only quiet
Your jacket smells like sweet night
Every breath makes the windows white
Baby, dance with me in the first frost
Warm skin, even though the street freezes
Your hands are my little fire
Stay with me until the morning thaws
Sunrise melts the cold night
But what we felt stays inside me

B1 grammar note
obwohl — 'although', and the verb goes last
"Warme Haut, obwohl die Straße friert" — warm skin, although the street freezes. obwohl concedes a point, and like every subordinating conjunction it sends the verb friert to the end of its clause; the chorus pairs it with "bis der Morgen taut", same word order. Two things to keep straight: obwohl is one word (never ob + wohl), and it means 'although' — not the question-word 'whether', which is ob on its own.
