Letra:

[English]

Well I'll be damned

Here comes your ghost again

But that's not unusual

It's just that the moon is full

And you happened to call

...

And here I sit, hand on the telephone

Hearing a voice I'd known

A couple of light years ago

Heading straight for a fall

...

As I remember your eyes

Were bluer than robin's eggs

"My poetry was lousy," you said

Where are you calling from?

A booth in the Midwest

Ten years ago

I bought you some cuff links

You brought me something

We both know what memories can bring

They bring diamonds and rust

...

Well you burst on the scene

Already a legend

The unwashed phenomenon

The original vagabond

You strayed into my arms

And there you stayed

Temporarily lost at sea

The Madonna was yours for free

Yes the girl on the half-shell

Could keep you unharmed

...

Now I see you standing

With brown leaves falling around

An' snow in your hair

Now you're smiling out the window

Of that crummy hotel over Washington Square

Our breath comes out white clouds

Mingles and hangs in the air

Speaking strictly for me

We both could have died then and there

...

Now you're telling me

You're not nostalgic

Then give me another word for it

You, who are so good with words

And at keeping things vague

'Cause I need some of that vagueness now

It's all come back too clearly

Yes I loved you dearly

And if you're offering me diamonds and rust

I've alredy paid

...

Gramática:

  • Well I'll be damned

    ➔ Voz passiva com o verbo auxiliar 'be' + particípio passado ('damned'). Forma abreviada de 'I will be damned'.

    ➔ Expressa surpresa ou choque. A frase "be damned" é usada idiomaticamente como uma exclamação.

  • It's just that the moon is full

    ➔ Uso de "just that" como um conector para fornecer uma explicação ou razão.

    "It's just that" implica que a lua cheia é uma explicação suficiente para o reaparecimento do fantasma.

  • Hearing a voice I'd known

    ➔ Tempo pretérito perfeito ('I'd known' - I had known) usado em uma oração relativa reduzida (omitido "that" ou "which").

    ➔ Descreve uma voz que o falante conhecera em algum momento do passado, antes do momento presente da música.

  • As I remember your eyes Were bluer than robin's eggs

    ➔ Adjetivo comparativo "bluer" (mais azul) usado para comparar a cor dos olhos de alguém com os ovos de tordo.

    ➔ Usa uma imagem vívida e uma comparação para expressar a cor marcante dos olhos da pessoa.

  • We both know what memories can bring

    ➔ Uso de "what" como um pronome relativo para introduzir uma oração substantiva que atua como o objeto do verbo 'know'.

    ➔ A oração "what memories can bring" representa a coisa da qual tanto o falante quanto o ouvinte estão cientes.

  • Temporarily lost at sea

    ➔ Advérbio "temporarily" modificando o particípio passado "lost". A frase funciona como uma frase adjetiva descrevendo um estado.

    ➔ Indica que o estado de estar perdido não era permanente ou indefinido.

  • We both could have died then and there

    ➔ Verbo modal 'could have' + particípio passado 'died'. Expressa uma possibilidade no passado que não aconteceu.

    ➔ Sugere um momento de intensa conexão ou vulnerabilidade emocional onde o falante sentiu uma sensação de finalidade.

  • You, who are so good with words

    ➔ Uso de "who" como um pronome relativo para introduzir uma oração não restritiva, fornecendo informações adicionais sobre "you".

    ➔ A oração "who are so good with words" não é essencial para identificar a quem se faz referência, mas fornece contexto adicional.

  • And if you're offering me diamonds and rust I've alredy paid

    ➔ Oração condicional mista (elementos do Tipo 2 e Tipo 3). "If you're offering me..." (presente contínuo, Tipo 2) combinado com "I've already paid" (presente perfeito, referindo-se a uma ação passada com relevância presente).

    ➔ Mesmo que o ex-amante esteja agora oferecendo algo valioso ('diamonds and rust' – representando tanto a beleza quanto a decadência), o falante sente que já sofreu o suficiente pelo relacionamento.
