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).
