Note 53 — EL CAPITÁN VENENO[4]
Reading edition
dejásemos morir and (15,4) déjame ir: dejar, to leave, allow, let, becomes an auxiliary verb like may, can, etc., so takes the infinitive: déjalo dormir, hacérmelo ver in Alarcón's Sombrero, and so often. Also deja que te dé un abrazo, let me give you a hug. Like dejar, its opposite impedir is construed: me impedía desahogar, kept me from soothing [my soul in yours].
