[English]
And I wanted to write a song
That could make you feel
To show that my heart
Beats only for you
With a beautiful melody to say
What I just can't explain
With a beautiful melody so you see
What I wanted to tell you
And say that it's you
Who can change me
Who can save me
And I'll wait for you wherever I go
Wherever I go, I take you with me
And I’ll wait for you wherever I go
Wherever I go, I take you with me
...

Who can change me
Who can save me
And I'll wait for you wherever I go
Wherever I go, I take you with me
And I’ll wait for you wherever I go
...
Wherever I go, I take you with me
But this time I’ve already decided
I want to see your eyes as I say
All that I could only
Feel with you
...
And I’ll wait for you wherever I go
Wherever I go, I take you with me
And I’ll wait for you wherever I go
Wherever I go, I take you with me

Key Grammar Structures

  • E eu quis escrever uma canção Que pudesse te fazer sentir

    ➔ Subjunctive Mood (pretérito imperfeito do subjuntivo)

    ➔ The use of "pudesse" (from poder) in the subjunctive mood expresses a hypothetical or desired action in the past. Here, the singer wanted to write a song that "could" make the person feel.

  • Pra mostrar que o meu coração Ele só bate por ti

    ➔ Reduplication of Subject Pronoun (Ele)

    ➔ The phrase "Ele só bate por ti" is used instead of "Só bate por ti". While omitting 'Ele' is gramatically correct, its inclusion is a common feature in Brazilian Portuguese. It adds emphasis to "meu coração"

  • Com uma bela melodia pra dizer O que eu não consigo explicar

    ➔ Relative Pronoun "O que"

    "O que" functions as a relative pronoun, meaning "what" or "that which." It introduces a clause that specifies or describes the preceding noun or concept. Here, it refers to the thing that the singer cannot explain.

  • E dizer que é você Que pode me mudar

    ➔ Emphatic Use of "Que" with Subject Pronoun

    ➔ The use of "Que" after "é você" emphasizes the subject "você". It highlights that *you* are the one who can change me.

  • E eu vou te esperar aonde quer que eu vá Aonde quer que eu vá, te levo comigo

    ➔ Subjunctive after "Aonde quer que"

    "Aonde quer que" means "wherever" and is followed by the subjunctive mood ("vá" - from "ir") because it expresses uncertainty or a hypothetical situation.
