Henry, come on
Letra:
[English]
I mean, Henry, come on
Do you think I'd really choose it
All this off and on
Henry, come on
I mean, baby, come on
Do you think I'd really lose it on ya
If you did nothin' wrong
Henry, come on
Last call, hey, y'all
Hang his hat up on the wall
Tell him that his cowgirl is gone
Go on and giddy up
Soft leather, blue jeans
Call us into void's dreams
We turn it but say it was fun
And it's not because of you
That I turned out so dangerous
Yesterday, I heard God say, "It's in your blood"
And it struck me just like lightning
I've been fightin', I've been strivin'
Yesterday, I heard God say, "You were born to be the one
To hold the hand of the man
Who flies too close to the sun"
I'll still be nice to your mom
It's not her fault you're leavin'
Some people come and they're gone
They just fly away
Take your ass to the house
Don't even bother explainin'
There's no workin' it out
No way
His last call, hey, y'all
Hang his hat up on the wall
Tell him that his cowgirl is gone
Come on and giddy up
Soft leather, blue jeans
Don't you get it? That's the thing
You can't chase a ghost when it's gone
And it's not because of you
That I turned out so dangerous
Yesterday, I heard God say, "It's in your blood"
And it's not because of you
That I turned out so dangerous
Yesterday, I heard God say, "It's in your blood"
And it struck me just like lightning
I've been fightin', I've been strivin'
But yesterday, I heard God say, "You were born to be the one
To hold the hand of the man
Who flies too close to the sun"
All these country singers
And their lonely rides to Houston
Doesn't really make for the past
You know, settle down, darling
His last call, "Hey, y'all"
Hang his hat up on the wall
Tell him that his cowgirl is gone
Go on and giddy up
Last call, "Hey, y'all"
Hang his hat up on the wall
Tell him that his cowgirl is gone
Go on and giddy up
Go on and giddy up
Go on and giddy up
Hey

Gramática:
-
Do you think I'd really choose it
➔ Oração condicional (Tipo 2): situação hipotética.
➔ Usa o subjuntivo passado ('I'd choose') para expressar uma escolha hipotética. Implica que o falante realmente não escolhe 'isso'.
-
If you did nothin' wrong
➔ Negação dupla (não padrão): "nothin' wrong" em vez de "anything wrong".
➔ Esta é uma forma coloquial/informal de falar. Em inglês padrão, deveria ser "If you didn't do anything wrong". A dupla negação enfatiza a falta de irregularidades.
-
Tell him that his cowgirl is gone
➔ Discurso indireto.
➔ A frase está relatando o que alguém deve dizer a 'ele'. O 'that' é opcional na fala informal.
-
We turn it but say it was fun
➔ Uso de 'but' para contrastar duas ações.
➔ Embora a ação descrita seja negativa ("turn it"), o falante afirma que o resultado ainda foi positivo. Isso destaca a natureza rebelde do cantor.
-
It's not her fault you're leavin'
➔ Omissão de 'que' em uma oração.
➔ O 'que' é entendido, mas omitido: "It's not her fault *that* you're leaving." Comum na fala e escrita informais.
-
You were born to be the one To hold the hand of the man Who flies too close to the sun
➔ Orações relativas (who, to)
➔ "Who flies too close to the sun" é uma oração relativa que modifica 'the man', adicionando mais informações sobre ele. O 'to' em 'to hold' faz parte da frase verbal infinitiva, que indica propósito.
-
Doesn't really make for the past
➔ Verbo frasal 'make for' significando 'contribuir para' ou 'criar'.
➔ A frase expressa que os cenários descritos (as viagens solitárias dos cantores country) não contribuem nem criam uma sensação de 'o passado' (talvez um passado romantizado ou desejado).
