[English]

I was dating a brunette who never gave me trouble

Only gave kisses on the mouth

Kisses at the market, at the health clinic

Even while hanging laundry

But lately

She's been acting hesitant, mocking my kisses

Pinged my WhatsApp

That coward's videos showed me the truth

She was kissing everyone, everyone

Everyone but me

I'm the only one she wouldn't kiss

'Cause she was kissing everyone but me

She was kissing everyone, everyone

Everyone but me

I'm the only one she wouldn't kiss

'Cause she was kissing everyone but me

I was dating a dark-haired guy who never gave me trouble

Only gave kisses on the mouth

Kisses at the market, at the health clinic

Even while hanging laundry

But lately

He's been acting hesitant, mocking my kisses

Pinged my WhatsApp

That coward's videos showed me the truth

He was kissing everyone, everyone

Everyone but me

I'm the only one he wouldn't kiss

'Cause he was kissing everyone but me

He was kissing everyone, everyone

Everyone but me

I'm the only one he wouldn't kiss

'Cause he was kissing everyone but me

I'm the only one she wouldn't kiss, 'cause she was kissing everyone but me

[Portuguese]

Eu namorava uma morena que não me dava problema

Só dava beijo na boca

Era beijo no mercado, no postinho de saúde

E até estendendo roupa

Mas de um tempo pra cá

Ela tá meio custosa, ridica beijo pra mim

Fez um plim plim no meu zap

Os vídeos dessa covarde foi aí que eu descobri

Que ela beijava todo mundo, todo mundo

Todo mundo menos eu

Só eu que ela não beijava

Porque ela tava beijando todo mundo menos eu

Que ela beijava todo mundo, todo mundo

Todo mundo menos eu

Só eu que ela não beijava

Porque ela tava beijando todo mundo menos eu

Eu namorava um moreno que não me dava problema

Só dava beijo na boca

Era beijo no mercado, no postinho de saúde

E até estendendo roupa

Mas de um tempo pra cá

Ele tá meio custoso, ridica beijo pra mim

Fez um plim plim no meu zap

Os vídeos desse covarde foi aí que eu descobri

Que ele beijava todo mundo, todo mundo

Todo mundo menos eu

Só eu que ele não beijava

Porque ele tava beijando todo mundo menos eu

Que ele beijava todo mundo, todo mundo

Todo mundo menos eu

Só eu que ele não beijava

Porque ele tava beijando todo mundo menos eu

Só eu que ela não beijava porque ela tava beijando todo mundo menos eu

Key Grammar Structures

• Eu **namorava** uma morena que não me dava problema

  ➔ Imperfect tense

  ➔ The imperfect tense (**namorava**) is used to describe a habitual or ongoing action in the past.

• Só **dava** beijo na boca

  ➔ Imperfect tense

  ➔ Again, the imperfect tense (**dava**) is used to describe a habitual action in the past.

• Mas de um tempo **pra cá**

  ➔ Prepositional phrase: 'pra cá' (towards here/now) indicates a movement towards the speaker or the present.

  ➔ 'Pra cá' combines the preposition 'para' with 'cá' (here). It signifies a shift in time, starting from a previous point until now.

• Ela **tá** meio custosa, ridica beijo pra mim

  ➔ Contraction 'tá' (short form of 'está')

  ➔ 'Tá' is the contracted form of 'está' (is/are), used for informality.

• Fez um plim plim no meu zap

  ➔ Past tense (Pretérito Perfeito)

  ➔ Pretérito Perfeito - Indicates a completed action in the recent past.

• Os vídeos dessa covarde **foi** aí que eu descobri

  ➔ Past tense (Pretérito Perfeito) + Relative clause

  ➔ The main verb 'foi' (was) in the Pretérito Perfeito, the relative clause 'que eu descobri' adds extra information.

• Que ela **beijava** todo mundo, todo mundo

  ➔ Imperfect tense (beijava)

  ➔ Used to describe repeated or habitual actions in the past.

• Só eu que ela **não beijava**

  ➔ Imperfect tense (beijava) + Negative form

  ➔ The negative form 'não beijava' indicates the absence of kissing the speaker.

• Porque ela **tava beijando** todo mundo menos eu

  ➔ Imperfect continuous tense (beijando)

  ➔ This uses the imperfect tense with the gerund, which creates an action in progress at some point in the past.
