Key Grammar Structures
-
Se não tocar, na Nova Era, tá escutando o campo minado.
➔ Conditional clause with 'se' + present indicative
➔ The clause "Se não tocar" uses "se" + present indicative to express a possible future condition; "tá" is a colloquial contraction of "está".
-
Se tu for falso, o vento te leva.
➔ Hypothetical conditional with 'se' + present subjunctive
➔ Here "for" is the present subjunctive of "ser" after "se", indicating a hypothetical situation; "te leva" shows the result.
-
Eu não quero fama, eu não quero mídia.
➔ Simple present negative with coordinated clauses
➔ "não" negates the verb "quero"; the repetition emphasizes the speaker’s refusal.
-
Eu passo a virar chaveiro.
➔ "passar a + infinitive" to express a future change
➔ "passo a virar" uses the structure "passar a + infinitive" meaning "to start to become" a locksmith.
-
É que o mano, ele manda buscar os carros de luxo na pista.
➔ Filler phrase "É que" to introduce a justification
➔ "É que" works like "you see" or "the thing is" in English, adding emphasis before the statement.
-
Nós faz o samba.
➔ Non‑standard verb agreement (3rd‑person singular with plural subject)
➔ The verb "faz" (3rd‑person singular) is used with the plural subject "Nós"; this is a colloquial, non‑standard usage common in rap lyrics.
-
Dedo do meio pra quem tá de Troia.
➔ Colloquial preposition "pra" (= para) and contraction "tá" for "está"
➔ "pra" is a spoken form of "para" meaning "for"; "tá" shortens "está" (is).
-
Nós enverga, mas não quebra, e otário, nós vai jogar na mala.
➔ "vai + infinitive" for near‑future intention and colloquial verb agreement
➔ "vai jogar" uses "vai" + infinitive to mean "will play"; the verb "vai" is incorrectly matched with the plural subject "Nós", a common rap‑style deviation.
-
Eu só falo do de verdade.
➔ Colloquial contraction "do de" (de + o) and use of "só" for emphasis
➔ "do de" is a spoken blend of "de" + "o" (of the); "só" means "only" and stresses the exclusivity of speaking truth.
