[English]

Just as I am, I paid attention

When you showed up

You made me think my worst flaw

Would be being myself

As if I felt nothing good

You were the one who hurt

I felt like nothing was going right

That something in me died

And I let myself be carried away by your words

I distanced myself from what I loved

I'm not even half

Of the shadow of who I once was

I just lacked courage

I needed to understand myself

Not to see myself as a coward

One day someone will come, the love that heals

Embrace me and hold me

If I can't hold on

Show me that it's still worth loving

And fulfill the promises

Of staying and not abandoning in the purest way

Sing the songs I made to talk about your

Importance to me, just don't label me

To take care of where I got hurt

Without remembering the torture

What is always best for us

Seems like madness

One day someone will

See sense in my jokes

That only I understand

Find funny repeating things

That I do and don't remember

Laugh if I appeal to the change of the wind

Say they didn't see the year pass

That we're already in December

My friends ask me

Why I'm so sad

She says me smiling

Was the most beautiful thing that exists

You know when it doesn't make a difference

Whether you stay or give up?

This drama seems to shine

One day someone will come, the love that heals

Embrace me and hold me

If I can't hold on

Show me that it's still worth loving

And fulfill the promises

Of staying and not abandoning in the purest way

Sing the songs I made to talk about your

Importance to me, just don't label me

To take care of where I got hurt

Without remembering the torture

What is always best for us

Seems like madness

One day someone will come, the love that heals

Embrace me and hold me

If I can't hold on

Show me that it's still worth loving

And fulfill the promises

Of staying and not abandoning in the purest way

Sing the songs I made to talk about your

Importance to me, just don't label me

To take care of where I got hurt

Without remembering the torture

What is always best for us

Seems like madness

One day someone will

[Portuguese]

Assim como sou, prestei atenção

Quando cê apareceu

Cê me fez achar que meu pior defeito

Seria ser eu

Como se não sentisse nada de bom

Cê foi a que doeu

Sentia que nada andava no caminho

Que algo em mim morreu

E eu me deixei me levar pelas suas frases

Me afastei do que eu amava

Eu não tô nem a metade

Da sombra do que um dia eu fui

Só me faltou coragem

Eu precisava me entender

Pra não me ver covarde

Um dia alguém vai chegar, o amor que cura

Me abraçar e me segurar

Se eu não me segurar

Me mostrar que ainda vale amar

E cumprir as jura

De ficar e não abandonar da forma mais pura

Cantar as canções que fiz pra falar da sua

Importância pra mim, só cê não me rotula

Pra cuidar de onde me feri

Sem lembrar a tortura

O que sempre é melhor pra nós

Parece loucura

Um dia alguém vai

Ver sentido nas minhas brincadeiras

Que só eu entendo

Achar graça de repetir coisas

Que faço e não lembro

Dar risada se eu apelar com a mudança do vento

Falar que não viu o ano passar

Que já tamo' em dezembro

Meus amigos perguntam pra mim

Porque ando tão triste

Ela diz que eu sorrindo

Era a coisa mais linda que existe

Sabe quando não faz diferença

Se fica ou desiste?

Esse drama parece brilhar

Um dia alguém vai chegar, o amor que cura

Me abraçar e me segurar

Se eu não me segurar

Me mostrar que ainda vale amar

E cumprir as jura

De ficar e não abandonar da forma mais pura

Cantar as canções que fiz pra falar da sua

Importância pra mim, só cê não me rotula

Pra cuidar de onde me feri

Sem lembrar a tortura

O que sempre é melhor pra nós

Parece loucura

Um dia alguém vai chegar, o amor que cura

Me abraçar e me segurar

Se eu não me segurar

Me mostrar que ainda vale amar

E cumprir as jura

De ficar e não abandonar da forma mais pura

Cantar as canções que fiz pra falar da sua

Importância pra mim, só cê não me rotula

Pra cuidar de onde me feri

Sem lembrar a tortura

O que sempre é melhor pra nós

Parece loucura

Um dia alguém vai

Key Grammar Structures

• Assim como sou, prestei atenção

  ➔ Adverbial Clause of Manner (Assim como)

  ➔ The phrase "Assim como" introduces a clause explaining the manner in which something is done. Here, it means "just as I am" or "the way I am." The verb form "prestei atenção" is the past perfect indicative, indicating a completed action in the past.

• Cê me fez achar que meu pior defeito Seria ser eu

  ➔ Subjunctive Mood (Seria)

  ➔ The use of "seria" (conditional of "ser") indicates a hypothetical or conditional situation. "Cê me fez achar" means "You made me think," and "seria ser eu" translates to "would be being me," implying that being oneself is considered the worst flaw in this context.

• Sentia que nada andava no caminho Que algo em mim morreu

  ➔ Indirect Speech (Que)

  ➔ The "que" introduces an indirect statement. "Sentia que..." means "I felt that...", followed by the content of what was felt. The use of "que" connects the main clause with the subordinate clause containing the reported feeling or thought.

• Se eu não me segurar

  ➔ Conditional Clause (Se)

  ➔ "Se" introduces a conditional clause, expressing a condition that needs to be met for a certain outcome. "Se eu não me segurar" translates to "If I don't hold myself up/together." This creates a condition for the main clause that follows.

• Me mostrar que ainda vale amar E cumprir as jura

  ➔ Infinitive Clause after Verb of Influence/Cause (Mostrar)

  ➔ The verb "mostrar" (to show) is a verb of influence. After it, the infinitive clauses "que ainda vale amar" and "e cumprir as jura" explain what is being shown. The "que" introduces a clause that functions as the direct object of "mostrar."

• De ficar e não abandonar da forma mais pura

  ➔ Prepositional Phrase + Infinitive (De ficar)

  ➔ The phrase "de ficar" consists of the preposition "de" followed by the infinitive "ficar" (to stay). This structure indicates purpose or manner, often translating to "of staying" or "by staying." It clarifies the way in which someone stays and doesn't abandon, emphasizing the purity of the action.

• O que sempre é melhor pra nós Parece loucura

  ➔ Relative Clause (O que)

  ➔ "O que" introduces a relative clause acting as the subject of the main clause. "O que sempre é melhor pra nós" translates to "What is always better for us." This clause functions as a noun phrase and is the subject of the verb "parece" (seems).
