Meu Jeito

• By: Kew

Lyrics:

[Português]

[English]

Me cobrando, não entendo

You're demanding, I don't understand

Tanto faz a sua decisão

Your decision doesn't matter

Mas se quiser manter, dá pra continuar

But if you want to keep it, we can continue

Só não quero essa confusão

I just don't want this confusion

Esse é meu jeito de amar, de amar, de amar

This is my way of loving, of loving, of loving

Não dá mais pra mudar, não dá, não dá

Can't change it anymore, no, no

Vai ter que aprender a lidar, lidar, lidar

You'll have to learn to deal, deal, deal

Não adianta tentar, posso me esforçar

There's no use in trying, I can try

Mas esse é meu jeito de amar (de amar, de amar)

But this is my way of loving (of loving, of loving)

(DJ Theuz ZL)

(DJ Theuz ZL)

Não dá, não dá

Can't do it, no way

Vai ter que aprender a lidar, lidar, lidar

You'll have to learn to deal, deal, deal

Não adianta tentar, posso me esforçar

There's no use in trying, I can try

Mas esse é meu jeito de amar

But this is my way of loving

Pra distrair a mente ela desce, desce

To distract her mind, she goes down, down

Depois sobe sensualizando

Then goes up, being sensual

Fico doido como ela se mexe

I go crazy the way she moves

Fazendo tudo que o Kew tá mandando

Doing everything Kew's telling her to

Mostrando o seu talento, oh, yeah

Showing her talent, oh, yeah

Com joelho no chão (chão)

With her knee on the floor (floor)

Se amarra no marrento

She's hooked on the tough guy

Isso te dá tesão

That gives you a thrill

Me cobrando, não entendo

You're demanding, I don't understand

Tanto faz a sua decisão

Your decision doesn't matter

Mas se quiser manter, dá pra continuar

But if you want to keep it, we can continue

Só não quero essa confusão

I just don't want this confusion

Esse é meu jeito de amar, de amar, de amar

This is my way of loving, of loving, of loving

Não dá mais pra mudar, não dá, não dá

Can't change it anymore, no, no

Vai ter que aprender a lidar, lidar, lidar

You'll have to learn to deal, deal, deal

Não adianta tentar, posso me esforçar

There's no use in trying, I can try

Mas esse é meu jeito de amar (de amar, de amar)

But this is my way of loving (of loving, of loving)

(DJ Theuz ZL)

(DJ Theuz ZL)

Não dá, não dá

Can't do it, no way

Vai ter que aprender a lidar, lidar, lidar

You'll have to learn to deal, deal, deal

Não adianta tentar, posso me esforçar

There's no use in trying, I can try

Mas esse é meu jeito de amar

But this is my way of loving

Grammar:

• Me cobrando, não entendo

  ➔ Gerund use as a verb of demand - 'cobrando' acting as a verb and using the pronoun me.

  ➔ The line translates to "Demanding from me, I don't understand." The use of "me cobrando" implies that someone is making demands or charging something of the speaker. The gerund here adds a sense of ongoing action or state.

• Tanto faz a sua decisão

  ➔ Use of 'tanto faz' - an impersonal expression indicating indifference or that something doesn't matter. Subject-verb agreement with 'decisão'.

  ➔ The phrase "tanto faz" literally means "so much it makes" but the idiom means "it doesn't matter" or "whatever." The agreement is with the subject "a sua decisão", which is feminine singular, so the conjugation of the implied verb (ser) is fitting.

• Mas se quiser manter, dá pra continuar

  ➔ Use of the future subjunctive ('quiser') in a conditional clause. Use of 'dá pra' + infinitive meaning 'it's possible to'.

  ➔ "Se quiser manter" translates to "If you want to maintain." The future subjunctive is used here because it expresses a hypothetical future event. "Dá pra continuar" translates to "It's possible to continue." 'Dá pra' is a colloquial way to say 'é possível'.

• Só não quero essa confusão

  ➔ Use of 'só' meaning 'only' or 'just'. Demonstrative pronoun 'essa' modifying the noun 'confusão'.

  ➔ The word "só" is crucial as it limits what the speaker *doesn't* want to just the "confusão" (confusion). "Essa confusão" specifies which confusion the speaker is referring to.

• Esse é meu jeito de amar, de amar, de amar

  ➔ Repetition for emphasis. Use of 'esse' (demonstrative pronoun) + 'é' (verb 'to be') to define 'jeito' (way/manner).

  ➔ The repetition of "de amar" emphasizes the focus on love and the speaker's particular way of expressing it. "Esse é meu jeito" establishes a clear definition of the speaker's character.

• Não dá mais pra mudar, não dá, não dá

  ➔ Negation with 'não'. 'Não dá mais pra' + infinitive indicating impossibility or lack of ability. Repetition for emphasis.

  ➔ "Não dá mais pra mudar" means "It's no longer possible to change." "Não dá" is a common expression meaning "it's not possible" or "it doesn't work." The repetition reinforces the speaker's firm stance.

• Vai ter que aprender a lidar, lidar, lidar

  ➔ Future tense with 'vai ter que' + infinitive ('aprender') indicating obligation in the future. Repetition for emphasis.

  ➔ "Vai ter que aprender" translates to "Will have to learn." This construction indicates a future obligation or necessity. The repetition emphasizes the inevitability of the other person needing to adjust.

• Não adianta tentar, posso me esforçar

  ➔ Use of 'não adianta' meaning 'it's no use' or 'it's pointless'. Use of 'posso' (verb 'poder' - can/may) expressing possibility. Reflexive verb 'me esforçar' (to make an effort).

  ➔ "Não adianta tentar" means "It's no use trying." It expresses futility. "Posso me esforçar" translates to "I can make an effort." It expresses the *possibility* of making an effort, but implies that it won't change the fundamental situation.
