Nights Like This
Letra:
[English]
You act like you need remindin'
Tryna do it over, bring it back and rewind it
But all that glitters isn't gold, I was blinded
Should have never gave you my heart on consignment
And I can't believe the lies that I went for
Thought you was mine, but you decided to be with him though
You took my feelings and just threw 'em out the window
Feel like it's too hard to fall in love again, no
On some nights like this, shawty, I can't help but think of us
I've been reminiscin', sippin', missin' ya
Can you tell me what's with all this distant love?
If I called, would you pick it up?
On some nights like this, I just wanna text you, but for what?
You gon' say you want me, then go switch it up
Just gon' play with my emotions just because, no (Oh)
All them times I played the fool for you
Thinking we could put it back together, thought we had forever
You never see my point of view
Our connection is so severed, you don't show no effort
And I can't believe the lies that I went for
Thought you was mine, but you decided to be with him though
Took my feelings and just threw 'em out the window
Feel like it's too hard to fall in love again, no
On some nights like this, shawty, I can't help but think of us
I've been reminiscin', sippin', missin' ya
Can you tell me what's with all this distant love?
If I called, would you pick it up?
On some nights like this, I just wanna text you, but for what?
You gon' say you want me, then go switch it up
Just gon' play with my emotions just because, no (Oh)
You gon' get my hopes high, girl
You gon' get my hopes high, girl
Just gon' tell me more lies, girl
Just gon' get my hopes high, girl
I've been way too good to you, you take me for granted
You was my day one since back at Big B's house on Adams
First day that we met, I flagged you down, I told you, hit my line
Used to promise me you'd never switch on me like Gemini
You think I'm a fool, ain't nobody stupid
I see all the signs, I see all the clues
Yeah, sometimes I reminisce 'bout that shit when I'm binging
Can't believe it's been a whole year, yeah, but
On some nights like this, shawty, I can't help but think of us
I've been reminiscin', sippin', missin' ya (Missing ya)
Can you tell me what's with all this distant love? (Love)
If I called, would you pick it up?
On some nights like this, I just wanna text you, but for what?
You gon' say you want me, then go switch it up (Switch it up)
Just gon' play with my emotions just because, no (Oh)
You gon' get my hopes high, girl
You gon' get my hopes high, girl
Just gon' tell me more lies, girl
Just gon' get my hopes high, girl

Gramática:
-
You act like you need remindin'.
➔ Presente simples com 'act like' + gerúndio
➔ A frase "act like" é usada para descrever um comportamento que se assemelha a outra coisa. Aqui, sugere que a pessoa está se comportando como se "need reminding" (precisasse ser lembrada). Reminding (gerúndio) atua como o objeto da preposição 'like'.
-
All that glitters isn't gold, I was blinded.
➔ Provérbio; voz passiva ('I was blinded')
➔ "All that glitters isn't gold" é um provérbio comum que significa que as aparências podem ser enganosas. "I was blinded" está na voz passiva, indicando que uma força externa (provavelmente o comportamento da outra pessoa) fez com que o orador não conseguisse ver com clareza.
-
Should have never gave you my heart on consignment.
➔ Modal perfeito ('should have' + particípio passado) para arrependimento
➔ "Should have never gave" expressa arrependimento. O orador sente que cometeu um erro ao dar seu coração em "consignação". "Consignment" aqui significa dar algo, mas retendo a propriedade legal até que seja vendido, o que implica que foi cauteloso, mas ainda assim se machucou.
-
If I called, would you pick it up?
➔ Segundo condicional (If + pretérito imperfeito do subjuntivo, would + infinitivo)
➔ Esta é uma frase condicional de segundo tipo, usada para falar sobre uma situação irreal ou hipotética no presente ou no futuro. Implica que o orador duvida se a pessoa atenderia o telefone se ele ligasse.
-
You gon' say you want me, then go switch it up
➔ Futuro com 'gon' (going to); verbo frasal ('switch it up')
➔ 'Gon'' é uma abreviação coloquial de 'going to', usada para expressar a intenção futura. "Switch it up" é um verbo frasal que significa mudar algo, geralmente de uma forma inesperada. A frase descreve um comportamento inconsistente.
-
Just gon' play with my emotions just because, no (Oh)
➔ Uso de "just" para ênfase; futuro informal ("gon' play"); cláusula de razão ("just because")
➔ A palavra "just" é usada aqui para ênfase, indicando a frustração do orador. "gon' play" é uma pronúncia informal de "going to play", indicando uma ação futura. A frase "just because" indica que não há uma razão real para o comportamento da outra pessoa além de seu próprio capricho.
-
Used to promise me you'd never switch on me like Gemini
➔ Used to + infinitivo; condicional would
➔ "Used to promise" indica um hábito passado ou uma ação repetida que não é mais verdadeira. "You'd never switch on me" é uma contração de "you would never switch on me", expressando uma promessa. A comparação "like Gemini" faz referência ao signo astrológico conhecido por ter duas caras.
