Grammar:
-
Só dá eu e meu parceiro Casca de Bala
➔ Idiomatic Expression: "Só dá" meaning 'It's all about' or 'It's just us'.
➔ The phrase "Só dá" emphasizes exclusivity or focus. In this context, it means "It's all about me and my partner Casca de Bala".
-
E final de semana tem, nós vamos para o bolão
➔ Subject-Verb Agreement (adjusted for colloquial speech) & Prepositional Phrase
➔ "Nós vamos para o bolão" means "We are going to the betting pool." The verb "vamos" agrees with the subject "nós". In informal speech, subject-verb agreement can sometimes be looser.
-
Vai rolar muita cachaça e o paredão ligado
➔ Future Tense using "Ir + Infinitive", Conjunction "e"
➔ "Vai rolar" is a future construction meaning "it's going to happen" or "there will be." "e" connects two clauses: the drinking and the sound system being on.
-
As vaqueirinhas tudo bêba', já tudo endreada
➔ Adjective Agreement (with a possible grammatical deviation for emphasis/dialect), Use of "tudo" as an intensifier
➔ "As vaqueirinhas tudo bêba'" literally translates to "The cowgirls all drunk". "Tudo" intensifies the adjective "bêba" (drunk). The expected agreement is "bêbas", but "bêba" is used, a colloquial simplification or dialectal variation.
-
Nós não perde uma vaquejada
➔ Negative Sentence Formation, Indefinite Article Usage
➔ "Nós não perde uma vaquejada" means "We don't miss a vaquejada". The negative is formed by placing "não" before the verb "perde". "Uma" is the indefinite article.
