Grammar:
-
Gosto quando cê me olha, quando eu puxo o seu cabelo
➔ Subjunctive Mood with 'quando'
➔ Although technically not *required* here, using the subjunctive 'olha' (instead of the indicative 'olha') after 'quando' subtly emphasizes the habitual nature or desire for the action. It's a nuance often used in Portuguese to express a repeated action. At B2 level, understanding the subtle use of the subjunctive is important.
-
Tu quer de frente e de costa, apoiando o travesseiro
➔ Gerund expressing manner/result
➔ 'Apoiando' (supporting) is a gerund here. It describes *how* 'tu quer' (you want). It shows the manner in which the action is done or the result of the previous action. Understanding the different functions of the gerund is useful at a B2 level.
-
Voltou pra casa cheia de sintomas de prazer
➔ Preposition 'de' indicating possession/origin
➔ The preposition 'de' here indicates the *type* of symptoms: 'sintomas *de* prazer' (symptoms *of* pleasure). It links the noun 'sintomas' to the noun that describes its essence. The meaning differs from *para*.
-
Ô, pra que ficar dando show se minha pussy te viciou?
➔ Conditional sentences with 'se'
➔ This is an implied conditional sentence. 'Se' (if) introduces the condition: *if* my pussy addicted you... The implied result is, why bother putting on a show? The sentence structure is typical for B2 level conditional sentences.
-
Até cansar, você gozar, nossa sintonia é de outras vidas
➔ Infinitive clause of purpose introduced by 'até'
➔ 'Até cansar' (until you get tired) specifies the *purpose* or limit. The structure 'até + infinitive' means 'until' something happens. It demonstrates a complex sentence structure useful for B2/C1 levels.
-
Diga o feitiço que você jogou em mim
➔ Relative clause with omitted relative pronoun
➔ The sentence 'Diga o feitiço *que* você jogou em mim' could have been written as 'Diga o feitiço que você jogou em mim'. In Portuguese, the relative pronoun 'que' can often be omitted when it's the object of the relative clause verb. Identifying and understanding this kind of omission is useful for C1/C2 level understanding of natural speech and writing.
