[English]
Today is Sunday, if needed
Put on your dress to reveal yourself
I look at myself in the mirror, fixing my hair
And if you exist, I’ll get used to it
I leave alone, the door’s locked
I close the shutters, you can rest
If this is jealousy, as usual
What concerns you, I’ll consider it
I’ll go with you to the end
For you and for me, I won’t stop anymore
You say we’re two fools
There are few left here, time to enjoy
I’ll go with you to the end
For you and for me, I won’t stop anymore
Time is a good advisor
It’s always the first to go without returning
There’s a celebration in the square
Kids gather the family to see them play
Fireworks are launched, pops are heard
Shocks are felt, smoke is in the air
Someone see this, someday
I’ll roll the dice somewhere else
So much restlessness, a bit of flame
It’s never done us any harm to flame us up
I’ll go with you to the end
For you and for me, I won’t stop anymore
You say we’re two fools
There are few left here, time to enjoy
I’ll go with you to the end
For you and for me, I won’t stop anymore
Time is a good advisor
It’s always the first to go without returning
I know well what you do for me, that’s why I got here
But I’ll manage to rise even higher
We still have so much to see, I’ll do everything I can
We can be better at taking the leap
I know well what you do for me, that’s why I got here
But I’ll manage to rise even higher
We still have so much to see, I’ll do everything I can
We can be better at taking the leap
I’ll go with you to the end
For you and for me, I won’t stop anymore
You say we’re two fools
There are few left here, time to enjoy
I’ll go with you to the end
For you and for me, I won’t stop anymore
Time is a good advisor
It’s always the first to go without returning
I’ll go with you to the end
For you and for me, I won’t stop anymore
You say we’re two fools
There are few left here, time to enjoy

Key Grammar Structures

  • Hoje é domingo, se for preciso

    ➔ Subjunctive Mood (se + subjunctive)

    ➔ The phrase "se for preciso" (if necessary) uses the subjunctive mood to express a hypothetical or uncertain condition.

  • Põe o vestido pra te revelares

    ➔ Imperative Mood + Reflexive Verb

    "Põe" is the imperative of "pôr" (to put), suggesting a command. "Revelares" is the reflexive infinitive form of "revelar-se" (to reveal oneself).

  • O que te assiste vou considerar

    ➔ Relative Pronoun + Future Subjunctive

    "O que" (what) is a relative pronoun. The phrase implies a consideration of whatever is bothering/helping the other person and "vou considerar" expresses a future action, but "assiste" can be regarded as subjunctive, indicating the uncertainity of what he will consider.

  • Por ti e por mim, não vou mais parar

    ➔ Negative Future with Modal Verb

    "Não vou mais parar" (I will not stop anymore) expresses a determination not to stop, using the auxiliary verb "ir" (to go) in the future tense to indicate future action, and the adverb "mais" to reinforce the negative.

  • Já faltam cá poucos, há que aproveitar

    ➔ Impersonal Verb + Indefinite Pronoun + Obligation

    "Faltam" (are missing) is used impersonally. "Poucos" (few) is an indefinite pronoun. "Há que aproveitar" (it is necessary to take advantage) expresses an obligation, using the impersonal form "há" + "que" + infinitive.

  • O tempo é bom conselheiro, é sempre o primeiro a ir sem voltar

    ➔ Predicate Nominative + Infinitive Phrase

    "Bom conselheiro" (good advisor) is a predicate nominative, describing the subject "o tempo" (time). "A ir sem voltar" (to go without returning) is an infinitive phrase modifying "o primeiro" (the first).
