Já te fiz muita canção
I've already written you many songs
São quatro, ou cinco, ou seis, ou mais
There are four, or five, or six, or more
Eu sei demais
I know too much
Que tá demais
That it's too much
Eu chego com um violão
I come with a guitar
Você só tá querendo paz
You're just looking for peace
Você desvia pra cozinha
You turn to the kitchen
E eu vou cantando atrás
And I keep singing behind
Hoje eu falei pra mim
Today I told myself
Jurei até
I swore even
Que essa não seria pra você
That this wouldn't be for you
E agora é
And now it is
Hoje eu falei pra mim
Today I told myself
Jurei até
I swore even
Que essa não seria pra você
That this wouldn't be for you
Se juntar cada verso meu
If you compare each of my verses
E comparar, vai dar pra ver
And line them up, you'll see
Tem mais você
There’s more of you
Que nota dó
Than a D note
Eu vou ter que me controlar
I'll have to control myself
Se um dia eu quero enriquecer
If one day I want to get rich
Quem vai comprar esse CD
Who will buy this CD
Sobre uma pessoa só?
About just one person?
Hoje eu falei pra mim
Today I told myself
Jurei até
I swore even
Que essa não seria pra você
That this wouldn't be for you
E agora é
And now it is
Hoje eu falei pra mim
Today I told myself
Jurei até
I swore even
Que essa não seria pra você
That this wouldn't be for you
...
...
Se juntar cada verso meu
If you compare each of my verses
E comparar, vai dar pra ver
And line them up, you'll see
Tem mais você
There’s more of you
Que nota dó
Than a D note
Eu vou ter que me controlar
I'll have to control myself
Se um dia eu quero enriquecer
If one day I want to get rich
Quem vai comprar esse CD
Who will buy this CD
Sobre uma pessoa só?
About just one person?
Hoje eu falei pra mim
Today I told myself
Jurei até
I swore even
Que essa não seria pra você
That this wouldn't be for you
E agora é
And now it is
Hoje eu falei pra mim
Today I told myself
Jurei até
I swore even
Que essa não seria pra você
That this wouldn't be for you

Key Grammar Structures

  • Já te fiz muita canção

    ➔ Past Perfect Tense (Plus-que-parfait equivalent)

    ➔ The use of "Já te fiz" (already did to you) implies an action completed before a point in the past, though in Brazilian Portuguese the preterito perfeito is often used in cases where the plus-que-parfait might be used in other languages. It is used to emphasize that the action of writing songs happened previously.

  • São quatro, ou cinco, ou seis, ou mais

    ➔ Repetition with disjunction (or)

    ➔ The repetition of "ou" (or) emphasizes the uncertainty and approximate number of songs, suggesting a range rather than a precise count.

  • Que tá demais

    ➔ Informal verb conjugation and adverbial phrase

    "Que tá demais" uses the informal "tá" (instead of "está", which means "is") followed by "demais" (too much). This combination indicates something excessive or overwhelming.

  • Você desvia pra cozinha

    ➔ Prepositional phrase indicating direction

    "Pra cozinha" is a colloquial contraction of "para a cozinha" (to the kitchen), indicating the direction of movement. The preposition "para" indicates destination or direction.

  • Se juntar cada verso meu / E comparar, vai dar pra ver

    ➔ Conditional clause with future tense in the main clause

    ➔ The "Se... vai" structure expresses a conditional relationship. "Se juntar" (if you join) establishes the condition, and "vai dar pra ver" (you will be able to see) expresses the consequence in the future. "Pra" is the short version of "para".

  • Tem mais você / Que nota dó

    ➔ Comparative structure

    ➔ The construction "Tem mais você que nota dó" uses "mais... que" (more... than) to compare the presence of 'you' in the verses with 'dó' (the note C). It emphasizes that the person is much more prominent in the lyrics than musical elements.

  • Eu vou ter que me controlar

    ➔ Future tense with obligation/necessity

    "Vou ter que" (I will have to) indicates a future action that is necessary or obligatory. The reflexive pronoun "me" is necessary here because the verb "controlar" is used reflexively (to control oneself).

  • Se um dia eu quero enriquecer

    ➔ Conditional Clause with Subjunctive Mood

    ➔ The use of "quero" (want) in the present subjunctive (though identical to the indicative in this case) within the "Se um dia..." (If one day...) clause expresses a hypothetical situation or a desire that might not be fulfilled. It is used for future possibilities.
