Yester-day I got the Past Masters, Volume One CD. I haven't listened to it yet (although I have heard it before), but I realized something about "Komm, gib mir deine Hand" - the German version of "I Want to Hold Your Hand." I haven't lookt into the German lyrics yet, but even just the title provides a very different tone. "Komm, gib mir deine Hand" is "Come, Give Me Your Hand." The verbs there are imperatives, so there's an insistence that isn't present in "I Want to Hold Your Hand" (where "hold" - as an infinitive - isn't even conjugated).
