Lance Individual

Letra:

[Português]

[English]

Já namorou, noivou

We already dated, got engaged

Já morou junto, largou

We already lived together, broke up

Já conheci sua mãe

I've already met your mother

O seu pai, seu avô

Your father, your grandfather

Já adotamo um cachorro

We've already adopted a dog

Já teve a senha um do outro

We already had each other's passwords

E não dá nem pra negar

And there's no denying

Que os nossos pega é de outro mundo

That our hookups are out of this world

Mas a gente já tentou de tudo

But we've already tried everything

A gente já tentou de tudo pra ser um casal

We've already tried everything to be a couple

Mas já saquei que o nosso lance é individual

But I've realized that our thing is individual

Cê na sua, eu na minha, deu saudade? Campainha

You do your thing, I do mine, miss me? Ring the bell

Eu entro no seu quarto, mas não entro na sua vida

I come into your room, but I don't come into your life

A gente já tentou de tudo pra ser um casal

We've already tried everything to be a couple

Mas já saquei que o nosso lance é individual

But I've realized that our thing is individual

Cê na sua, eu na minha, deu saudade? Campainha

You do your thing, I do mine, miss me? Ring the bell

Eu entro no seu quarto mas não entro na sua vida

I come into your room, but I don't come into your life

Gramática:

• Já namorou, noivou

  ➔ Preterite Perfect Simple (Portuguese: Pretérito Perfeito Simples)

  ➔ The use of the "Já" emphasizes that these actions have already happened and are completed in the past. The verbs "namorou" (dated) and "noivou" (got engaged) are conjugated in the Preterite Perfect Simple, indicating completed actions in the past.

• Já morou junto, largou

  ➔ Preterite Perfect Simple, absence of conjunction (asyndeton)

  ➔ "Morou junto" (lived together) and "largou" (broke up) are both in the Preterite Perfect Simple. The absence of a conjunction like "e" (and) creates a sense of rapid succession of events, a stylistic device known as asyndeton.

• Já adotamo um cachorro

  ➔ 1st person plural Preterite Perfect Simple (Portuguese: Pretérito Perfeito Simples) with 'a' elision

  ➔ "Adotamo" is a shortened form of "adotamos" (we adopted). The elision of the 's' is common in spoken Portuguese, especially in informal contexts. The Preterite Perfect Simple emphasizes the completed action of adopting a dog.

• Já teve a senha um do outro

  ➔ Preterite Perfect Simple, reciprocal pronoun

  ➔ "Teve" (had) is in the Preterite Perfect Simple. "Um do outro" (of each other) is a reciprocal pronoun, indicating that they each had the other's password.

• Que os nossos pega é de outro mundo

  ➔ Use of 'que' as a relative pronoun, informal register.

  ➔ Here, "que" introduces a clause describing "os nossos pega" (our flings/hookups). The phrase "é de outro mundo" (is out of this world) is an idiom expressing that something is extraordinary. The informal register can be observed in the casual tone of the lyrics.

• Mas a gente já tentou de tudo

  ➔ Use of 'a gente' as a substitute for 'nós' (we), adverb 'já' emphasizing past action, 'de tudo' meaning 'everything'

  ➔ "A gente" is commonly used in spoken Brazilian Portuguese instead of the formal "nós". "Já" indicates that they have already tried everything. "De tudo" emphasizes the totality of their efforts.

• Mas já saquei que o nosso lance é individual

  ➔ Subjunctive mood implied after 'saquei que', informal vocabulary ('lance')

  ➔ "Saquei que" (I realized that) suggests a sense of understanding or realization. Although the subjunctive isn't directly used here, there's an implied possibility of something else being true before the realization. "Lance" is a slang term for a relationship or affair.

• Cê na sua, eu na minha, deu saudade? Campainha

  ➔ Ellipsis, informal pronoun 'Cê' (you) instead of 'Você', rhetorical question.

  ➔ The sentence uses ellipsis by omitting the verbs, creating a fast-paced and informal tone. "Cê" is a shortened and informal version of "Você" (you). "Deu saudade?" (Missed me?) is a rhetorical question, implying that the answer is likely 'yes'.

• Eu entro no seu quarto, mas não entro na sua vida

  ➔ Present indicative tense, contrasting conjunction 'mas' (but)

  ➔ "Entro" (I enter) is in the present indicative tense, indicating a habitual or present action. The conjunction "mas" (but) contrasts two actions: physical entry (into the room) versus emotional/personal entry (into the life), highlighting the superficial nature of their relationship.
