Gramática:

  • They are tryin' to track me down

    ➔ Presente Contínuo para ações em andamento.

    ➔ O uso do presente contínuo indica que o rastreamento está acontecendo no momento da fala ou próximo a ele. A forma abreviada "tryin'" é uma contração coloquial de "trying".

  • They say they want to bring I in guilty

    ➔ Discurso indireto; uso de "I" em vez de "me" (gramática não padrão).

    ➔ Esta linha usa discurso indireto ('They say...') e uma construção gramatical não padrão ('bring I in'). Em inglês padrão, seria "bring *me* in". O uso de 'I' aqui pode ser para ênfase ou devido ao dialeto.

  • If I am guilty I will pay

    ➔ Condicional tipo 1 (Primeiro Condicional).

    ➔ Esta é uma frase condicional de tipo 1, que expressa uma possibilidade real. A estrutura é: If + presente simples, will + forma base.

  • Sheriff John Brown always hated

    ➔ Tempo Passado Simples; elipse (objeto ausente de "hated")

    ➔ A frase está no passado simples, indicando uma ação concluída no passado. O objeto do verbo 'hated' está faltando, o que implica que o xerife John Brown sempre alimentou ódio, mas não é explicitamente dito o que ou quem ele odiava. Este é um exemplo de elipse.

  • He say kill them before they grow

    ➔ Presente do indicativo na terceira pessoa do singular (uso incorreto); modo imperativo.

    ➔ A frase usa 'He say' em vez de 'He says', o que é gramaticalmente incorreto em inglês padrão, mas comum em alguns dialetos ou na fala informal. 'Kill them before they grow' está no imperativo, dando uma ordem direta.

  • Freedom came my way one day now

    ➔ Inversão sujeito-verbo para ênfase; uso de "now" como marcador de discurso.

    ➔ Embora a ordem típica das palavras fosse 'Freedom *came* my way one day', a inversão 'Freedom *came* my way one day' adiciona ênfase. O 'now' atua como um marcador de discurso, fornecendo um contexto temporal ou adicionando peso emocional.

  • What is to be must be, yeah

    ➔ Uso do infinitivo; declaração filosófica que implica destino.

    ➔ A frase 'What is to be must be' é uma declaração filosófica que expressa uma crença no determinismo ou no destino. 'To be' é uma forma infinitiva. A inclusão de 'yeah' adiciona um tom casual e conversacional.
