Essa Mulher

• By: Nuno Ribeiro

Lyrics:

[Português]

[English]

Tenho pensado em nós

I've been thinking about us

Como é que estamos

How are we doing?

No final, eu vi que nunca estive tão bem

In the end, I saw I've never been so good

Tenho pensado em nós

I've been thinking about us

Onde é que vamos

Where are we going?

Para uma terra, onde eu sei que não mora ninguém

To a land where I know nobody lives

Nunca vi, nunca vi

Never seen, never seen

Mulher tão bonita assim

Such a beautiful woman like that

Diz-me o que tu queres de mim

Tell me, what do you want from me?

Se quiseres levo-te a Paris

If you want, I'll take you to Paris

Nunca vi, nunca vi

Never seen, never seen

Mulher tão bonita assim

Such a beautiful woman like that

Diz-me o que tu queres de mim

Tell me, what do you want from me?

Porque eu só

Because I just

Ai, ai, ai

Ai, ai, ai

Eu gosto dessa mulher

I like that woman

Quero tê-la ao pé de mim

Want to have her next to me

Beijá-la quando quiser

Kiss her whenever I want

Ai, ai, ai

Ai, ai, ai

Eu gosto dessa mulher

I like that woman

Quero tê-la ao pé de mim

Want to have her next to me

Beijá-la quando quiser

Kiss her whenever I want

Eu só quero beijá-la

I just want to kiss her

E eu só quero amá-la

And I just want to love her

E vou levar a mala de viagem para longe

And I'll take my suitcase far away

Onde não existe nada

Where nothing exists

Nunca vi, nunca vi

Never seen, never seen

Mulher tão bonita assim

Such a beautiful woman like that

Diz-me o que tu queres de mim

Tell me, what do you want from me?

Se quiseres levo-te a Paris

If you want, I'll take you to Paris

Nunca vi, nunca vi

Never seen, never seen

MUlher tão bonita assim

Such a beautiful woman like that

Diz-me o que tu queres de mim

Tell me, what do you want from me?

Porque eu só

Because I just

Ai, ai, ai

Ai, ai, ai

Eu gosto dessa mulher

I like that woman

Quero tê-la ao pé de mim

Want to have her next to me

Beijá-la quando quiser

Kiss her whenever I want

Ai, ai, ai

Ai, ai, ai

Eu gosto dessa mulher

I like that woman

Quero tê-la ao pé de mim

Want to have her next to me

Beijá-la quando quiser

Kiss her whenever I want

As mulheres

Women

São a coisa mais bonita do mundo

Are the most beautiful thing in the world

São o pulso eterno

They are the eternal pulse

Início de tudo

The beginning of everything

E por isso devemos amá-las

And that's why we should love them

A cada segundo

Every second

Ai, ai, ai

Ai, ai, ai

Eu gosto dessa mulher

I like that woman

Quero tê-la ao pé de mim

Want to have her next to me

Beijá-la quando quiser

Kiss her whenever I want

Ai, ai, ai

Ai, ai, ai

Eu gosto dessa mulher

I like that woman

Quero tê-la ao pé de mim

Want to have her next to me

Beijá-la quando quiser

Kiss her whenever I want

Ai, ai, ai

Ai, ai, ai

Eu gosto dessa mulher

I like that woman

Quero tê-la ao pé de mim

Want to have her next to me

Beijá-la quando quiser

Kiss her whenever I want

Grammar:

• Tenho pensado em nós

  ➔ Present Perfect Continuous (Tempos Compostos do Indicativo)

  ➔ The verb tense indicates an action that started in the past and continues into the present. "Tenho pensado" (I have been thinking) emphasizes the duration of the thinking process.

• Onde é que vamos

  ➔ Interrogative sentence structure with fronting of adverbial phrase.

  ➔ The phrase "Onde é que" (Where) is placed at the beginning of the sentence to emphasize the location to which they are going.

• Para uma terra, onde eu sei que não mora ninguém

  ➔ Relative clause introduced by "onde"

  ➔ "Onde" acts as a relative pronoun meaning "where", introducing a clause that provides more information about "terra" (land). The phrase describes the land as a place where no one lives.

• Se quiseres levo-te a Paris

  ➔ Conditional clause with future subjunctive (if you want, I'll take you...)

  ➔ Using the future subjunctive "quiseres" implies a hypothetical situation. "Levo-te" is a condensed form of "Eu levo-te", indicating 'I will take you'.

• Quero tê-la ao pé de mim

  ➔ Infinitive construction after "Querer" (to want)

  ➔ "Quero" (I want) is followed by the infinitive phrase "tê-la ao pé de mim" (to have her by my side). This is a common construction expressing desire or wanting to do something.

• Beijá-la quando quiser

  ➔ Future Subjunctive with temporal adverb (Quando) to express a future possibility.

  ➔ The sentence means 'Kiss her whenever I want'. "Quiser" is the future subjunctive of "querer" (to want) and is used because the time of the kissing is uncertain.

• E vou levar a mala de viagem para longe

  ➔ Future tense with 'ir + infinitive' to express intention.

  ➔ "Vou levar" (I am going to take) uses the verb "ir" (to go) followed by the infinitive "levar" (to take). This structure is a common way to express future actions or intentions in Portuguese.

• Onde não existe nada

  ➔ Negative existential statement with "existir".

  ➔ The phrase means 'where nothing exists'. The verb "existir" is used to express the existence of something, and the negative adverb "não" negates this existence.
