Evidências – Bilingual Lyrics Portuguese/English
Lyrics & Translation
It's because I love you
When I say that I don't want you anymore
It's because I want you
I'm afraid to give you my heart
And confess that I'm in your hands
But I can't imagine what will become of me
If I lose you one day
I distance myself and defend myself from you
But then I surrender
I act tough, say things that I'm not
But then I deny it
But the truth is that I'm crazy about you
And I'm afraid to think of losing you
I need to accept that it can't go on
To separate our lives
And in this madness of saying I don't want you
I keep denying appearances, disguising the evidence
But why live pretending
If I can't deceive my heart?
(I know that I love you)
Enough of lies, of denying my desire
I want you more than anything, I need your kiss
I give my life
For you to do whatever you want with me
I just want to hear you say yes
Say it's true, that you miss me
That you still think a lot about me
Say it's true, that you miss me
That you still want to live for me
I distance myself and defend myself from you
But then I surrender
I act tough, say things that I'm not
But then I deny it
But the truth is that I'm crazy about you
And I'm afraid to think of losing you
I need to accept that it can't go on
To separate our lives
And in this madness of saying I don't want you
I keep denying appearances, disguising the evidence
But why live pretending
If I can't deceive my heart? (You all)
(I know that I love you)
Enough of lies, of denying my desire
I want you more than anything, I need your kiss
I give my life
For you to do whatever you want with me
I just want to hear you say yes
Say it's true, that you miss me
That you still think a lot about me
Say it's true, that you miss me
That you still want to live for me
Say it's true, that you miss me
That you still want to live for me

Key Grammar Structures

Quando digo que deixei de te amar É porque eu te amo
➔ Subjunctive mood (''deixei'') in a subordinate clause after ''quando'' expressing doubt or uncertainty. The phrase ''É porque'' introduces the reason or cause.
➔ ''Quando digo que deixei de te amar'' uses the subjunctive ''deixei'' because ''quando'' can express uncertainty about when the action of ceasing to love happened or will happen. ''É porque eu te amo'' explains the reason for saying the speaker stopped loving the other person.
-
Eu tenho medo de te dar meu coração E confessar que eu estou em tuas mãos
➔ Use of the infinitive ''dar'' after the expression ''ter medo de'' (to be afraid of). Indirect pronoun ''te'' (to you). The phrase ''estar em tuas mãos'' (to be in your hands) is an idiom expressing vulnerability or being under someone's control.
➔ ''Ter medo de + infinitive'' is a common structure to express fear of doing something. ''Estar em tuas mãos'' literally means 'to be in your hands,' but it signifies being completely vulnerable and under someone else's power.
-
Mas a verdade é que eu sou louco por você E tenho medo de pensar em te perder
➔ Use of ''louco por'' + pronoun to express strong affection or infatuation (''louco por você''). ''Tenho medo de + infinitive'' (to be afraid of + infinitive). The use of ''te'' as indirect object pronoun before the verb ''perder''.
➔ ''Louco por você'' means 'crazy about you' or 'madly in love with you.' ''Tenho medo de pensar em te perder'' shows the fear of losing the loved one.
-
E nessa loucura de dizer que não te quero Vou negando as aparências, disfarçando as evidências
➔ The prepositional phrase ''nessa loucura de'' + infinitive (in this madness of + infinitive). Use of the gerund ''negando'', ''disfarçando'' to express actions happening simultaneously.
➔ ''Nessa loucura de dizer que não te quero'' refers to the irrational act of saying 'I don't want you.' ''Negando as aparências, disfarçando as evidências'' describes the speaker's continuous effort to hide their true feelings.
-
Mas pra que viver fingindo Se eu não posso enganar meu coração?
➔ Informal contraction ''pra que'' instead of ''para que'' (why, what for). Subjunctive mood ''posso'' after ''se'' expressing doubt or uncertainty.
➔ ''Pra que viver fingindo?'' questions the purpose of living a fake life. The subjunctive ''posso'' is used because the clause expresses a hypothetical situation: *if* the speaker can't deceive their heart, why pretend?
-
Chega de mentiras, de negar o meu desejo Eu te quero mais que tudo, eu preciso do teu beijo
➔ The expression ''Chega de'' + noun (Enough of + noun). Comparative structure ''mais que tudo'' (more than everything). Use of ''teu'' as possessive pronoun.
➔ ''Chega de mentiras'' means 'Enough of lies'. ''Eu te quero mais que tudo'' emphasizes the intensity of the speaker's desire.
-
Eu entrego a minha vida Pra você fazer o que quiser de mim
➔ Use of ''pra'' instead of ''para'' in informal context. Use of the future subjunctive ''quiser'' after ''o que'' expressing a possible or hypothetical future action. ''De mim'' acts as an indirect object.
➔ ''Pra você fazer o que quiser de mim'' gives the other person complete freedom to do as they wish with the speaker's life. The use of future subjunctive reinforces the hypothetical nature of the statement.
