[English]

I know that deep down

There's so much beauty in the world

I just wanted to see it

...

Sunday afternoons

The day smiling at me

I just wanted to see it

...

Anything to tame

The burning chest

Something to justify

A lukewarm life

The world ends today and I'll be dancing

The world ends today and I'll be dancing

The world ends today and I'll be dancing with you

...

The world ends today and I'll be dancing

The world ends today and I'll be dancing

The world ends today and I'll be dancing with you

...

I won't forget that corner

The girl's grace

I just wanted to see it

...

That's why I surrender

To a blind immediatism

Ready for the world to end

...

You believe in what comes after

I prefer the now

If in the end it's just the two of us

Let it be outside

The world ends today and I'll be dancing

The world ends today and I'll be dancing

The world ends today and I'll be dancing with you

...

The world ends today and I'll be dancing

The world ends today and I'll be dancing

The world ends today and I'll be dancing with you

...

[Portuguese]

Eu sei que lá no fundo

Há tanta beleza no mundo

Eu só queria enxergar

As tardes de domingo

O dia me sorrindo

Eu só queria enxergar

Qualquer coisa pra domar

O peito em fogo

Algo pra justificar

Uma vida morna

O mundo acaba hoje e eu estarei dançando

O mundo acaba hoje e eu estarei dançando

O mundo acaba hoje e eu estarei dançando com você

O mundo acaba hoje e eu estarei dançando

O mundo acaba hoje e eu estarei dançando

O mundo acaba hoje e eu estarei dançando com você

Não esqueço aquela esquina

A graça da menina

Eu só queria enxergar

Por isso eu me entrego

A um imediatismo cego

Pronta pro mundo acabar

Você acredita no depois

Prefiro o agora

Se no fim formos só nós dois

Que seja lá fora

O mundo acaba hoje e eu estarei dançando

O mundo acaba hoje e eu estarei dançando

O mundo acaba hoje e eu estarei dançando com você

O mundo acaba hoje e eu estarei dançando

O mundo acaba hoje e eu estarei dançando

O mundo acaba hoje e eu estarei dançando com você

Key Grammar Structures

• Eu sei que lá no fundo / Há tanta beleza no mundo

  ➔ Existential 'Haver' with 'tanta' (so much)

  ➔ The word "Há" is a form of the verb "Haver", used here in an impersonal way to express existence. It translates to "there is" or "there are". "Tanta" means "so much" or "so many", indicating a large quantity. The combination suggests the speaker acknowledges there is a lot of beauty in the world, even if they struggle to see it.

• Qualquer coisa pra domar / O peito em fogo

  ➔ Infinitive phrase acting as a noun modifier ('pra domar' - to tame)

  ➔ "Pra domar" is a shortened colloquial form of "para domar", which means "to tame". The entire phrase implies the speaker is looking for something to control or calm their inner turmoil (their "peito em fogo" - chest on fire).

• O mundo acaba hoje e eu estarei dançando

  ➔ Future Continuous Tense (estarei dançando - I will be dancing)

  ➔ "Estarei dançando" uses the future continuous tense. It describes an action that will be in progress at a specific time in the future. In this case, the specific time is the end of the world, and the action in progress is dancing. This paints a picture of resilience and defiance.

• Pronta pro mundo acabar

  ➔ Ellipsis (omission) of 'estar': 'Pronta para o mundo acabar' (Ready for the world to end)

  ➔ The sentence grammatically should be 'Eu estou pronta para o mundo acabar' or 'Eu estou pronta para que o mundo acabe'. However, in informal speech, 'estar' is often dropped. "Pronta" agrees in gender and number with the speaker (feminine singular). The phrase signifies preparedness or acceptance of the end.

• Você acredita no depois / Prefiro o agora

  ➔ Contrasting prepositions: 'no depois' (in the afterlife/future) vs. 'o agora' (the now/present)

  ➔ This highlights a contrast in belief. "No depois" refers to an afterlife or future, while "o agora" refers to the present moment. The speaker states a preference for living in the present rather than focusing on what might come after death or in the future.
