[Português]

[English]

♪ (Na zona sul) ♪

(In the South Zone)

♪ (Na zona sul) ♪

(In the South Zone)

♪ São as pequenas coisas ♪

It's the little things

♪ Eu pensava que não era preciso dizer ♪

I thought I didn't need to say

♪ Diz que vais trabalhar p’ra dar certo ♪

You say you'll work to make it right

♪ Sair do subsídio de desemprego baby ♪

Get off unemployment, baby

♪ Hoje, eu quero discutir contigo Depois dar tempo ao tempo ♪

Today, I want to argue with you Then give it time

♪ Sexo, álcool, nicotina Eu já encontrei rotina ♪

Sex, alcohol, nicotine I've already found a routine

♪ Então eu quero sair, andar P’ra ser apanhada em contratempo ♪

So I want to go out, wander around To be caught off guard

♪ Depois deixo-te ir Só preciso de mais  ♪

Then I'll let you go I just need more

♪ Duzentos anos de ti E depois és livre ♪

Two hundred years of you And then you're free

♪ Eu e tu perdidos na zona sul ♪

Me and you lost in the South Zone

♪ Yeah yeah ♪

Yeah yeah

♪ Quem é o mais maluco Disse que era eu, afinal és tu ♪

Who's the craziest? You said it was me, but it's actually you

♪ Yeah yeah Yeah yeah, oh baby ♪

Yeah yeah Yeah yeah, oh baby

♪ A minha cara é cara, eu tou num BM X6 Eu quero evitar X9 ♪

My face is expensive, I'm in a BM X6 I want to avoid snitches

♪ Ele diz seis, quer dizer meio Eu finjo que não sei o quanto ele me envolve ♪

He says six, but he means half I pretend I don't know how much he involves me

♪ Coração de gelo então vem dissolve Beijo da Fenty num batom vermelho ♪

Heart of ice, so come dissolve it A Fenty kiss with red lipstick

♪ Cor que combina com a tua intenção Mas tu não vais entender os detalhes ♪

A color that matches your intention But you won't understand the details

♪ Pequenos detalhes que me  lembram nós dois (nós dois) ♪

Little details that remind me of us (us)

♪ Me odeia agora, mas me ama depois ♪

Hate me now, but love me later

♪ Some igual fantasma, me beija no escuro ♪

Disappear like a ghost, kiss me in the dark

♪ Se joga no banco vamo p’ro futuro ♪

Throw yourself in the backseat, let's go to the future

♪ Quanto tempo eu ainda tenho p’ra me atrasar ♪

How much time do I still have to be late?

♪ Eu quero o teu contacto desliga o seu celular ♪

I want your contact, turn off your cell phone

♪ Gosta de brincar com o fogo eu vou te descongelar ♪

You like to play with fire, I'm going to defrost you

♪ Te faço bater no céu mas sem sair do lugar ♪

I'll make you hit heaven without leaving the place

♪ Então me faz o favor e me escuta ♪  

So do me a favor and listen to me ♪

♪ Depois que o sol se pôr a gente dança com a lua ♪

After the sun sets We dance with the moon

♪ E mesmo se o sol se for a gente dança na chuva ♪

And even if the sun is gone, we dance in the rain

♪ Me diz onde você vai Tou livre depois do baile ♪

Tell me where you're going I'm free after the party

♪ Eu só não sei se é p’ra você ♪

I just don't know if it's for you

♪ Oh ♪

Oh

♪ Eu e tu perdidos na zona sul ♪

Me and you lost in the South Zone

♪ Yeah Yeah ♪

Yeah Yeah

♪ Quem é o mais maluco ♪

Who's the craziest?

♪ Disse que era eu, afinal és tu ♪

You said it was me, but it's actually you

♪ Yeah yeah ♪

Yeah yeah

♪ Yeah yeah, oh baby ♪

Yeah yeah, oh baby

Gramática:

• Eu pensava que não era preciso dizer

  ➔ Imperfect Subjunctive in Subordinate Clauses

  ➔ The phrase "Eu pensava que não era preciso dizer" (I thought it wasn't necessary to say) uses the imperfect subjunctive ("era preciso") because it expresses a subjective opinion or thought in a subordinate clause after a verb of thinking ("pensava"). The use of "que" introduces the subordinate clause.

• Sair do subsídio de desemprego baby

  ➔ Infinitive as a Noun

  ➔ "Sair" (to leave/get out) is used as a noun, acting as the object of an implied verb like "preciso" or "quero" (I need/want to get out). It's the act of leaving unemployment benefits that is emphasized.

• Depois dar tempo ao tempo

  ➔ Infinitive Used as an Imperative

  ➔ "Dar tempo ao tempo" (give time to time/let time pass) uses the infinitive "dar" in a way that suggests a piece of advice or a suggestion, almost like an imperative. It's a common expression.

• Eu e tu perdidos na zona sul

  ➔ Pronoun Order (Eu e tu)

  ➔ The phrase "Eu e tu" (me and you) follows the standard pronoun order in Portuguese, placing the first-person pronoun ("Eu") before the second-person pronoun ("tu"). This order is generally maintained when combining pronouns in a subject.

• A minha cara é cara, eu tou num BM X6

  ➔ Wordplay with Adjectives (cara)

  ➔ The word "cara" is used twice, first as a noun meaning "face" ("A minha cara" - my face) and then as an adjective meaning "expensive" or "dear" ("é cara" - is expensive/dear). This creates a play on words.

• Ele diz seis, quer dizer meio

  ➔ Ellipsis (omission of words)

  ➔ The sentence "Ele diz seis, quer dizer meio" (He says six, [he] means half) uses ellipsis by omitting the subject pronoun "ele" (he) in the second clause. The meaning is understood from the context.

• Me odeia agora, mas me ama depois

  ➔ Direct Object Pronouns and Time Adverbs

  ➔ The sentence "Me odeia agora, mas me ama depois" (Hate me now, but love me later) uses the direct object pronoun "me" before the verbs "odeia" (hates) and "ama" (loves). "Agora" (now) and "depois" (later) are time adverbs modifying those verbs.

• Quanto tempo eu ainda tenho p’ra me atrasar

  ➔ Preposition Contraction and Infinitive

  ➔ The phrase "p’ra me atrasar" is a contraction of "para" (for/to) + "a" (to) forming "para a", which is often shortened to "p'ra" in informal speech/writing. The verb "atrasar" is in the infinitive form, indicating the purpose of the time the speaker has.
