Key Grammar Structures
-
Estou louco pra te ver, oh yes
➔ estar + adjective + pra + infinitive
➔ Expresses being eager to do something. "Estou louco" means "I'm crazy", and "pra te ver" means "to see you". The whole sentence means "I'm crazy to see you."
-
Cabe, tchururu duh Entre nós dois um querer, iê iê iê iê iê
➔ Cabe + prepositional phrase indicating location + subject.
➔ "Cabe" in this context means "fits", "belongs" or "is meant to be". "Entre nós dois um querer" means "a desire between us two". The whole phrase suggests that a desire is fitting or destined between the two people.
-
E mesmo ao passar do tempo hei de ver Você junto a mim
➔ hei de + infinitive (future of certainty)
➔ "Hei de ver" is an archaic or literary way of saying "I will see" with a strong emphasis on certainty. It implies a definite future event. This construction is less common in modern spoken Portuguese but can be found in songs and literature.
-
Nada se compara a esse prazer
➔ Se + verb + a + noun (impersonal construction)
➔ This is an impersonal construction in Portuguese. The "se" makes the sentence impersonal, meaning that the subject is not explicit. "Nada se compara" means "nothing compares" and the "a" connects the verb to the object, "esse prazer" (this pleasure).
-
Vou gozar, delirar Se com você sonhar
➔ Future Subjunctive (sonhar)
➔ The future subjunctive (se + sonhar) expresses a hypothetical or uncertain future condition. In modern Brazilian Portuguese, the infinitive is often used instead, but the subjunctive still appears in formal contexts or songs. It means "If I dream with you."
-
Olha eu te amo, e quero tanto Beijar teu corpo nu
➔ Querer + tanto + infinitive (expressing strong desire)
➔ "Quero tanto beijar" means "I want so much to kiss". The use of "tanto" intensifies the desire expressed by the verb "querer".
