Foste Embora

• Por: Nininho Vaz Maia

Letra:

[Português]

[English]

Dizem por aí que eu fugi de ti

They say I ran away from you

Naquela noite boa que me passei à toa

That good night I wasted just because

...

...

Falam por aí algo que eu não fiz

People talk about something I didn't do

O que se passa?

What's going on?

Dizes que já não dá

You say it’s no longer possible

Que foi culpa minha

That it was my fault

É simples, quero ter-te aqui

It's simple, I want you here with me

Olha, prometo para ti

Look, I promise you

...

...

Que já não sou aquela pessoa

That I am no longer that person

E olha, eu juro que tentei

And look, I swear I tried

Mas fui ao fundo quando foste embora

But I hit rock bottom when you left

Quando foste

When you left

...

...

Que ninguém me diga nada

No one tell me anything

Minh'alma está magoada

My soul is wounded

Só eu sei o que sinto

Only I know what I feel

Ao cair minhas lágrimas

As my tears fall

Que ninguém me diga nada

No one tell me anything

Já não quero falar de tempo

I don’t want to talk about time anymore

E que tudo passará

And that everything will pass

...

...

Dizes que já não dá

You say it’s no longer possible

Que foi culpa minha

That it was my fault

É simples, quero ter-te aqui

It's simple, I want you here with me

Olha, prometo para ti

Look, I promise you

...

...

Que já não sou aquela pessoa

That I am no longer that person

E olha, eu juro que tentei

And look, I swear I tried

Mas fui ao fundo quando foste embora

But I hit rock bottom when you left

...

...

Ê-he-êi

Hey-hey-hey

...

...

Eu prometo

I promise

Juro, juro que tentei

I swear, I swear I tried

...

...

Olha

Look

...

...

Gramática:

• Que eu não sou aquela pessoa

  ➔ Use of the present subjunctive mood with 'que' and the present indicative to express a negation or desire.

  ➔ The phrase 'que eu não sou' combines the conjunction 'que' with the present indicative of 'ser' (to be) to express a negation or contrast.

• Fui ao fundo

  ➔ Use of the preterite tense of 'ir' (fui) combined with 'ao' (a + o) to indicate going somewhere, in this case, metaphorically 'to the bottom' or 'deep despair'.

  ➔ The phrase 'fui ao fundo' literally means 'I went to the bottom', used figuratively to indicate reaching a low point or deep despair.

• Dizes que já não dá

  ➔ Use of the present indicative 'dizes' (you say) with the conjunction 'que' to introduce indirect speech and express a statement or opinion.

  ➔ The verb 'dizes' is the second person singular form of 'dizer' (to say), and is used here to report what someone else says.

• Prometo para ti

  ➔ Use of the present indicative 'prometo' (I promise) with the preposition 'para' to indicate the recipient of the promise.

  ➔ 'Prometo' is the first person singular of 'prometer' (to promise), and 'para ti' indicates that the promise is made to 'you' (the listener).

• Já não sou aquela pessoa

  ➔ Use of the present indicative of 'ser' (sou) with 'já não' to express a change in state or identity, indicating the person no longer is the same.

  ➔ ‘Já não sou’ means ‘I am no longer,’ indicating a change from a previous state of being.

• E olha, eu juro que tentei

  ➔ Use of the verb 'jurar' (to swear) in the present tense 'juro' to emphasize the speaker's sincerity, combined with 'que' and 'tentei' (past tense of 'tentar') to express effort.

  ➔ ‘Juro’ is the first person singular of 'jurar' (to swear), emphasizing the speaker's sincerity, and 'tentei' is the past tense of 'tentar' (to try).
