[English]

Now I know why it all ended

I know, it was my fault, nothing helped

To run

Away from myself

Now I know nothing will bring back

The time when we both

Smiled without thinking

And I thought

It would never end

You can even try to run

But you'll always be here, be here

In my heart

You can even try to run

But you'll always be here, be here

In my heart

...

I know you showed

What I couldn't see

And now it's so hard

To try to forget you and I

I try to understand

Now I know I can make you think

Saying things you liked to hear

And I thought

It would never end

You can even try to run

But you'll always be here, be here

In my heart

You can even try to run

But you'll always be here, be here

In my heart

And it's you who gives me the strength to live

And there's no one else capable

Of understanding what I feel for you

It goes beyond... (what you can see)

You can even try to run

But you'll always be here, be here

In my heart

You can even try to run

But you'll always be here

In my heart

...

[Portuguese]

Agora eu sei porque tudo acabou

Eu sei, fui eu que errei de nada adiantou

Fugir

Pra longe de mim

Agora eu sei que nada vai fazer voltar

O tempo que nós dois

Sorrimos sem pensar

E eu que pensei

Nunca ter um fim

Você pode até tentar fugir

Mas pra sempre vai estar aqui, estar aqui

No meu coração

Você pode até tentar fugir

Mas pra sempre vai estar aqui, estar aqui

No meu coração

Eu sei você mostrou

O que eu não pude ver

E agora é tão dificil

Tentar te esquecer e eu

Eu tento entender

Agora eu sei que posso te fazer pensar

Dizendo coisas que você gostava de escutar

E eu que pensei

Nunca ter um fim

Você pode até tentar fugir

Mas pra sempre vai estar aqui, estar aqui

No meu coração

Você pode até tentar fugir

Mas pra sempre vai estar aqui, estar aqui

No meu coração

E é você que me faz ter forças pra viver

E não há mais ninguém capaz

De entender o que eu sinto por você

Vai além... (do que se pode ver)

Você pode até tentar fugir

Mas pra sempre vai estar aqui, estar aqui

No meu coração

Você pode até tentar fugir

Mas pra sempre vai estar aqui

No meu coração

Key Grammar Structures

• Agora eu sei porque tudo acabou

  ➔ Subordinate clause with 'porque' (why/because)

  ➔ This sentence uses 'porque' to introduce a subordinate clause explaining the reason for the breakup. 'porque' means 'because' or 'why', depending on context.

• Eu sei, fui eu que errei de nada adiantou

  ➔ Relative pronoun 'que' introducing a relative clause.

  ➔ The word "que" acts as a relative pronoun, connecting the main clause to a clause that provides more information about 'eu' (I). It means "who" or "that" in this context.

• Pra longe de mim

  ➔ Preposition 'pra' (contraction of 'para') indicating direction or purpose.

  ➔ 'Pra' is a common colloquial contraction of 'para' and here it indicates direction: away from me.

• Agora eu sei que nada vai fazer voltar

  ➔ Future subjunctive (implied). While 'vai fazer' looks like a simple future, the implied condition in the sentence hints at the subjunctive mood.

  ➔ The speaker recognizes that nothing *will* bring back the past, but there's a sense of conditionality implied. It's not a guarantee, but a realization.

• O tempo que nós dois Sorrimos sem pensar

  ➔ Relative clause introduced by 'que' modifying 'tempo' (time).

  ➔ The 'que' connects 'o tempo' to the description of that time, the time when they smiled without thinking.

• E eu que pensei Nunca ter um fim

  ➔ Inversion with 'que' for emphasis.

  ➔ The phrase 'E eu que pensei...' is more emphatic than 'Eu pensei que...'. It highlights the speaker's surprise and naivety.

• Você pode até tentar fugir

  ➔ Use of 'até' to indicate 'even' or 'up to'

  ➔ 'Até' emphasizes the possibility that she might try to escape, meaning 'even if you try to escape'.

• Mas pra sempre vai estar aqui, estar aqui

  ➔ Periphrastic future tense with 'vai estar' ('going to be').

  ➔ The construction 'vai estar' + infinitive is a common way to express the near future. In this case, it means 'will be' or 'is going to be'.
