[English]
Yeah, there are things we promise but don't keep, right folks?
That's how it is!
I swore I wouldn't knock on your door
Look at me knocking - And breaking another promise
I tried not to say your name anymore - But out of every three words - One interests me
You're a problem I want to have - Even knowing I can't solve it
You guys are too beautiful!
I promise I won't love you - Because I'll make a point of breaking that promise
You know what you have? - You're lucky you kiss so well
You're the tightrope I learned to walk on
You know what you have? - You're lucky you kiss so well
Just let me go - Because you know I'll come back
You're a problem I want to have - Even knowing I can't solve it
I promise I won't love you - Because I'll make a point of breaking that promise
Come, come, come!
You know what you have? - You're lucky you kiss so well
You're the tightrope I learned to walk on
You know what you have? - You're lucky you kiss so well
Just let me go - Because you know I'll come back
You know what you have? - You're lucky you kiss so well
You're the tightrope I learned to walk on
You know what you have? - You're lucky you kiss so well
Just let me go - Because you know I'll come back

Key Grammar Structures

  • É, tem coisas que a gente promete mais não cumpri né gente?

    ➔ Informal use of pronouns and verb conjugation

    ➔ The use of "a gente" instead of "nós" is common in spoken Brazilian Portuguese. "Cumpri" (instead of "cumpre") reflects colloquial verb conjugation.

  • Eu jurei não bater na sua porta

    ➔ Infinitive after verb of promising/swearing

    "Jurei" (swore) is followed by the infinitive "bater" (to knock). This is a common construction in Portuguese after verbs expressing intention or commitment.

  • Você é um problema que eu quero ter

    ➔ Relative Clause with "que"

    "Que" introduces a relative clause, modifying the noun "problema." It acts as the subject of the verb "quero ter".

  • Mesmo sabendo que eu não consigo resolver

    ➔ "Mesmo" + Gerundio

    "Mesmo" followed by a gerund expresses concession or contrast. In this case, "Mesmo sabendo" (even knowing) introduces a contrasting idea to the previous statement.

  • Eu prometo que não vou te amar

    ➔ "Prometer que" + Subjunctive (Future)

    ➔ Although the indicative is commonly used, when expressing a *promise* about something uncertain, the subjunctive mood (even if simplified into a future form with "ir + infinitive") subtly underscores the intention behind the promise.

  • Porque essa promessa Eu vou fazer questão de quebrar

    ➔ "Fazer questão de" + Infinitive

    "Fazer questão de" (to make a point of) + infinitive expresses a strong determination or emphasis to do something. It implies deliberate action.

  • Sabe o que você tem? Tem sorte que "cê" beija bem

    ➔ Subjunctive implied (but not explicitly stated, colloquial reduction)

    ➔ The full, more formal phrasing would be something like "Tem sorte de que você beije bem." The "de que" introduces a subordinate clause, which would *normally* trigger the subjunctive if it expresses uncertainty or an opinion. However, in informal speech, the indicative is often used, or parts are omitted altogether, resulting in the more direct phrasing. Here, we understand that *if* she were to express her opinion formally, she *might* use the subjunctive, but the colloquial form omits it.

  • Só me deixar ir Porque sabe que eu vou voltar

    ➔ Future Tense after "saber que"

    "Saber que" (to know that) is followed by the future tense "vou voltar" (I will return) because the return is considered a certainty. Even if something is in the future and dependent on a condition, because it's *known* to happen in this context, future tense is used.
