[English]
When you come
To spend the weekend
I pretend everything's fine
Even when I'm broke or have money
It's that you ignore everything I do
Then you leave
Unraveling our ties
I want to find you
I want to love you
You mean everything to me
My land, my sky, my sea
I want to find you
I want to love you
You mean everything to me
My land, my sky, my sea
...
When you come

Even when I'm broke or have money
It's that you ignore everything I do
Then you leave
Unraveling our ties
I want to find you
I want to love you
You mean everything to me
My land, my sky, my sea
I want to find you
I want to love you
You mean everything to me
My land, my sky, my sea
It's so bold to have to travel
Across the whole country to find you
But everything I do has a good reason
Beautiful, I love you, come stay with me
I'm crazy for your gaze
I'll go anywhere to find you
I love you too much, you're my peace
Make passionate love again with me, do it
Do it
I want to find you
I want to love you
You mean everything to me
My land, my sky, my sea
I want to find you (ooh-ooh)
I want to love you
You mean everything to me
My land, my sky, my sea

I want to find you
I want to find you
I want to find you

Key Grammar Structures

  • Quando você vem / Pra passar o fim de semana

    ➔ Subjunctive mood in adverbial clauses of time.

    ➔ The phrase "Quando você vem..." uses the present subjunctive ("vem"), expressing a possibility or uncertainty about when she will come. "Para passar" is an infinitive phrase expressing purpose. Note that while *vem* is formally subjunctive, in modern spoken Brazilian Portuguese, it often substitutes for the indicative.

  • Eu finjo estar tudo bem

    ➔ Infinitive after a verb of perception (fingir).

    "Estar" is in the infinitive form because it follows the verb "finjo" (to pretend), which is a verb of perception/state.

  • É que você ignora tudo que eu faço

    ➔ Relative pronoun "que" and subjunctive mood.

    "Que" is a relative pronoun introducing a clause modifying "tudo." The verb "faço" (I do) is in the present indicative. It could be subjunctive (faca) if the speaker were not sure if he does it, but here it states a fact.

  • Depois vai embora / Desatando os nossos laços

    ➔ Gerund indicating simultaneous action or manner.

    "Desatando" is the gerund form of "desatar" (to untie). Here, it describes how she goes away: by untying their bonds. It indicates an action happening at the same time as the main verb ("vai embora").

  • É muita ousadia ter que percorrer / O país inteiro pra achar você

    ➔ Use of the infinitive (ter que percorrer) expressing obligation and purpose (pra achar).

    "Ter que percorrer" means "to have to travel/cross", expressing an obligation. "Pra achar" is a colloquial contraction of "para achar" (in order to find), indicating purpose. It's a common informal way to express purpose.
