[English]
She is an action movie with various endings
She is applied politics and trivial conversations
If she really wants it, be perceptive
She will never make it clear
So understand the signs
It's paradise, her curves are postcards
She has no sense, or if she ever did, she doesn't anymore
She is the most amazing boat that docked at your pier
Others talk, talk, she arrives and does
She never tires, never tires, never tires at all
She dances, dances, dances too much
She once believed in love, but she doesn't know anymore
She is a Nirvana album from 20 years ago
Doesn't want five minutes in your back seat
Just wants a ripped pair of jeans and about forty reais
She is a lyric from Caetano with a flow from Racionais
Today it might even rain because she just wants peace
...
Today she just wants peace
Today she just wants peace
Today she just wants peace
Today she just wants
Good news to read in the newspapers
Real loves, loyal friendships
She understands flowers, loves animals
Simple things for her are the main things
Without pick-up lines, she prefers the originals
Met nice guys, but never sensational ones
She is not your girl, man
Paying for drinks is easy, hard to introduce to the parents
She will drive you crazy to see what she's capable of
Will make you feel jealous of other couples
And you'll see that the others were all the same
Will want to buy a little farm in Minas Gerais
This girl is one of those phenomenal ones
Vitamin, it's protein and mineral salts
She is life, after life
A farewell for your more normal days
What for?
She never tires, never tires, never tires at all
She dances, dances, dances too much
She once believed in love, but she doesn't know anymore
She is a Nirvana album from 20 years ago
Doesn't want five minutes in your back seat
Just wants a ripped pair of jeans and about forty reais
She is a lyric from Caetano with a flow from Racionais
Today it might even rain because she just wants peace
Today she just wants peace
Today she just wants peace
Today she just wants peace
Today she just wants peace

Key Grammar Structures

  • Ela é um filme de ação com vários finais

    ➔ Ser + [noun phrase] with 'com' indicating a feature/characteristic

    ➔ The use of "é" (from 'ser') equates the subject (Ela) to the noun phrase (um filme de ação...). 'Com vários finais' indicates that one of her defining traits is complexity and unpredictable outcomes.

  • Se ela tiver muito afim seja perspicaz

    ➔ Conditional sentence: "Se" + subjunctive mood (tiver) + imperative mood (seja)

    "Se" introduces a condition. "Tiver" is the subjunctive form of "ter" (to have), expressing a hypothetical situation. "Seja" is the imperative form of "ser" (to be), giving a command or suggestion based on the condition.

  • As outras falam, falam, ela chega e faz

    ➔ Contrast: "As outras falam... ela chega e faz". Use of simple present to describe habitual actions. The use of 'e' connecting two verbs describing a sequence of actions.

    ➔ This line contrasts the actions of 'the others' (falam - talk) with the actions of 'ela' (she). While others are just talking, she takes action immediately (chega e faz - arrives and does).

  • Ela não cansa, não cansa, não cansa jamais

    ➔ Repetition for emphasis with "jamais" (never) for further emphasis.

    ➔ The repetition of "não cansa" (doesn't tire) emphasizes her tireless nature. Adding "jamais" (never) strengthens this statement.

  • Ela é uma letra do Caetano com flow do Racionais

    ➔ Figurative Language: Using "ser" to equate the subject to a metaphor involving different entities connected by 'com'.

    ➔ This is a metaphor that combines two different musical styles (Caetano Veloso, known for poetic lyrics, and Racionais MC's, known for impactful rap). 'Com' here means 'with', showing she combines qualities of both.

  • Hoje pode até chover porque ela só quer paz

    ➔ Modal verb "pode" indicating possibility combined with "até" (even). "Porque" (because) expressing reason.

    "Pode" (can/may) indicates a possibility. "Até chover" (even rain) emphasizes the extent of the change or impact her desire for peace has. "Porque" (because) introduces the reason for the potential change.

  • Pagar bebida é fácil, difícil apresentar pros pais

    ➔ Contrast with adjectives. "É" + adjective. Use of "pro" (for) as a shortened preposition.

    ➔ This line contrasts two levels of commitment. Paying for a drink is 'easy', while introducing someone to your parents is 'difficult'. "Pros pais" is a shortened version of "para os pais".
