Lyrics & Translation

[Portuguese]
[English]
Eu tinha tudo do melhor
I had all the best
Em mim eu sempre confiei
I always trusted myself
Não precisava de mais nada e mais ninguém
I didn't need anything or anyone else
De tanto eu me privei
I deprived myself so much
A dor parece me romper
The pain seems to break me
Por mais que eu tente me afastar
No matter how hard I try to get away
Ela invadiu sem dó meu pobre coração
It invaded my poor heart mercilessly
E veio pra ficar
And came to stay
Nunca mais eu vou ser livre
I'll never be free again
Já não sei o que esperar
I don't know what to expect anymore
Ela trouxe um mundo novo
She brought a new world
E eu não posso mais voltar
And I can't go back anymore
Só me resta a noite escura
All that's left for me is the dark night
Aprendi que é ser só
I learned what it is to be alone
Eu finjo que ela está aqui
I pretend she's here
Pra revelar o meu melhor
To reveal my best
Os desafios do amor
The challenges of love
Roubaram toda a minha paz
Stole all my peace
Embora eu tente me enganar e me iludir
Although I try to fool myself and deceive myself
Eu já não sou capaz
I can't do it anymore
Nunca mais eu vou ser livre
I'll never be free again
O que eu era se partiu
What I was is gone
Hoje eu reconheço em mim
Today I recognize in myself
Outro alguém que ela descobriu
Someone else she discovered
Só me resta a noite escura
All that's left for me is the dark night
Um futuro sem amor
A future without love
Eu não mereço outro fim
I don't deserve another ending
Por que ela nunca foi pra mim
Why was she never for me
Eu vou viver pra sempre assim
I'm going to live like this forever
Uma vida só de dor
A life of pain only

Key Grammar Structures

  • Eu tinha tudo do melhor

    ➔ Pretérito Imperfeito do Indicativo (Imperfect Past)

    ➔ The verb "tinha" (had) is in the Imperfect Past, used to describe habitual actions or states in the past. It suggests a situation that was ongoing or repeated. "Eu "tinha" tudo do melhor" means "I used to have the best of everything".

  • De tanto eu me privei

    ➔ Reflexive Verb + Preposition 'de' + Infinitive

    "Me privei" is a reflexive verb, meaning "I deprived myself". "De tanto" means "so much" or "because of so much". The phrase implies a degree of self-denial. It's "privei "me" de"

  • Por mais que eu tente me afastar

    ➔ Subjunctive Mood (Present Subjunctive) in a Concessive Clause

    "Tente" is in the present subjunctive mood, used after "por mais que" to express a concession, meaning "no matter how much". It indicates uncertainty or hypothetical situations. "No matter how much I try to get away...".

  • Ela invadiu sem dó meu pobre coração

    ➔ Adverb of Manner ('sem dó')

    "Sem dó" is an adverbial phrase meaning "without pity" or "mercilessly". It describes the manner in which the invasion happened. It modifies the verb 'invadiu'.

  • Nunca mais eu vou ser livre

    ➔ Future tense with 'ir' + infinitive (vou ser) + adverbial phrase of time 'nunca mais'

    "Vou ser" is the near future tense (ir + infinitive), meaning "I will be". "Nunca mais" means "never again". Therefore, the sentence translates to "I will never be free again".

  • Já não sei o que esperar

    ➔ Adverb 'já' with negative 'não' expressing uncertainty; 'o que' as a relative pronoun

    "Já não" means "no longer". The phrase expresses that the speaker has lost the ability to anticipate or predict anything. "O que esperar" means "what to expect".

  • O que eu era se partiu

    ➔ Use of "o que" as a relative pronoun + Preterite Perfect (se partiu)

    "O que" here acts as a relative pronoun, meaning "what" or "that which". "Se partiu" is the preterite perfect form of the verb "partir-se" (to break, to depart), in the reflexive form, meaning "broke apart". The whole phrase translates to "What I was has broken apart" or "Who I was is gone".

  • Por que ela nunca foi pra mim

    ➔ Preposition "pra" (short for "para") indicating destination or purpose + negative adverb "nunca" + past tense 'foi'

    "Pra" is a colloquial contraction of "para", meaning "for" or "to". Here it indicates destination, in a figurative sense. "Nunca foi pra mim" means "was never meant for me" or "never belonged to me".
