SARA CORREIA DIZER NÃO

SARA CORREIA - SAYING NO

NÃO ME OLHES ASSIM,

DON'T LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT,

NÃO ME TOQUES NA MÃO,

DON'T TOUCH MY HAND,

QUALQUER GESTO OU SINAL,

ANY GESTURE OR SIGN,

QUALQUER OLHAR FATAL,

ANY FATAL GLANCE,

PODE SER O MEU FIM.

COULD BE MY END.

NÃO QUERO PERDER

I DON'T WANT TO LOSE

TUDO AQUILO QUE GANHEI

EVERYTHING I'VE GAINED

POR UM MOMENTO DE PRAZER,

FOR A MOMENT OF PLEASURE,

ALGO SEM RAZÃO DE SER,

SOMETHING WITH NO REASON TO BE,

ALGO QUE NÃO EVITEI.

SOMETHING I DIDN'T AVOID.

FICO ENTÃO NO MEU CANTO

SO I'LL STAY IN MY CORNER

PARA NADA ACONTECER,

SO NOTHING HAPPENS,

SE SONHO CONTIGO OU NÃO

IF I DREAM OF YOU OR NOT

NINGUÉM TERÁ DE SABER.

NO ONE HAS TO KNOW.

AH CORAÇÃO MAL-EDUCADO,

AH, CURSED HEART

REBELDE, TRESLOUCADO,

Rebel, crazy-minded,

NÃO OUVES A RAZÃO.

You don’t hear reason.

E EU QUE ME PENSAVA FELIZ

And I, who thought I was happy

COM O AMOR QUE SEMPRE QUIS

With the love I always wanted,

SOFRO POR TE DIZER NÃO.

Suffer because I have to say no.

AH CORAÇÃO MAL-EDUCADO,

Oh, badly behaved heart,

REBELDE, TRESLOUCADO,

Rebel, crazy-minded,

NÃO OUVES A RAZÃO.

You don’t hear reason.

E EU QUE ME PENSAVA FELIZ

And I, who thought I was happy

COM O AMOR QUE SEMPRE QUIS

With the love I always wanted,

SOFRO POR TE DIZER NÃO.

Suffer because I have to say no.

E EU QUE ME PENSAVA FELIZ

And I, who thought I was happy

COM O AMOR QUE SEMPRE QUIS

With the love I always wanted,

SOFRO POR TE DIZER NÃO.

Suffer because I have to say no.

Gramática:

• NÃO ME OLHES ASSIM, NÃO ME TOQUES NA MÃO,

  ➔ Negative Imperative

  ➔ The use of 'NÃO' before 'OLHES' and 'TOQUES' indicates a negative command. It's instructing someone *not* to look or touch.

• QUALQUER GESTO OU SINAL, QUALQUER OLHAR FATAL,

  ➔ Indefinite Adjective

  ➔ 'QUALQUER' (any) is an indefinite adjective, expressing a lack of specificity regarding the gesture or look. It implies that *any* gesture or look could be dangerous.

• PODE SER O MEU FIM.

  ➔ Modal Verb + Infinitive

  ➔ 'PODE SER' (can/may be) uses the modal verb 'PODE' to express possibility or potential. It suggests the gesture/look has the *potential* to be her downfall.

• TUDO AQUILO QUE GANHEI

  ➔ Relative Pronoun

  ➔ 'QUE' is a relative pronoun linking the clause 'QUE GANHEI' to 'TUDO AQUILO'. It means 'that' or 'which' in this context, specifying what was gained.

• ALGO SEM RAZÃO DE SER, ALGO QUE NÃO EVITEI.

  ➔ Prepositional Phrase / Relative Clause + Preterite Perfect

  ➔ 'SEM RAZÃO DE SER' is a prepositional phrase meaning 'without reason to be'. 'QUE NÃO EVITEI' is a relative clause. The use of 'NÃO EVITEI' indicates that she *didn't* avoid something (simple past), perhaps the initial feelings or situation that led to this conflict.

• SE SONHO CONTIGO OU NÃO NINGUÉM TERÁ DE SABER.

  ➔ Conditional Clause + Future Tense

  ➔ 'SE SONHO CONTIGO OU NÃO' is a conditional clause ('if I dream of you or not'). 'NINGUÉM TERÁ DE SABER' uses the future tense ('TERÁ DE SABER' - will have to know) to express a future certainty contingent on the condition. Whether she dreams or not, nobody *will* know.

• AH CORAÇÃO MAL-EDUCADO, REBELDE, TRESLOUCADO,

  ➔ Vocative Case / Adjectives

  ➔ This is an example of a vocative, directly addressing her heart. The adjectives 'MAL-EDUCADO' (ill-mannered), 'REBELDE' (rebellious), and 'TRESLOUCADO' (crazy) are used to describe it, highlighting its disobedient nature.

• E EU QUE ME PENSAVA FELIZ COM O AMOR QUE SEMPRE QUIS

  ➔ Emphatic Structure + Relative Clause + Preterite Imperfect

  ➔ The structure 'E EU QUE...' emphasizes the speaker's surprise or disbelief. 'QUE SEMPRE QUIS' is a relative clause modifying 'O AMOR' (the love). 'ME PENSAVA' is in the preterite imperfect tense, implying a state of *thinking* she was happy, which is now contrasted with her current suffering.

• SOFRO POR TE DIZER NÃO.

  ➔ Infinitive Phrase after Preposition

  ➔ 'POR TE DIZER' is an infinitive phrase ('for telling you') acting as an adverbial phrase. The preposition 'POR' introduces the *reason* for her suffering – the act of having to say no.
