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.
