Letra:

[English]

Well, they tell me of a pie up in the sky

Waiting for me when I die

But between the day you're born and when you die

They never seem to hear even your cry

So as sure as the sun will shine

I'm gonna get my share now, what's mine

And then the harder they come

The harder they fall, one and all

Ooh, the harder they come

The harder they fall, one and all

Well, the oppressors are trying to keep me down

Trying to drive me underground

And they think that they have got the battle won

I say forgive them Lord, they know not what they've done

'Cause, as sure as the sun will shine

I'm gonna get my share now, what's mine

And then the harder they come

The harder they fall, one and all

Ooh, the harder they come

Harder they fall, one and all

...

And I keep on fighting for the things I want

Though I know that when you're dead you can't

But I'd rather be a free man in my grave

Than living as a puppet or a slave

So as sure as the sun will shine

I'm gonna get my share now, what's mine

And then the harder they come

The harder they fall, one and all

Ooh, the harder they come

Harder they fall, one and all

Hey, the harder they come

The harder they fall, one and all

...

Hey, the harder they come

The harder they fall, one and all

Hey, the harder they come

The harder they fall, one and all

...

Gramática:

  • Well, they tell me of a pie up in the sky

    ➔ Discurso Indireto

    ➔ A declaração original poderia ter sido algo como 'Há uma torta no céu'. A estrutura 'they tell me of...' relata o que outra pessoa disse.

  • Waiting for me when I die

    ➔ Particípio Presente como Adjetivo / Oração Relativa Reduzida

    "Waiting" modifica "pie". É uma forma abreviada de "that is waiting".

  • Between the day you're born and when you die

    ➔ Oração Subordinada Temporal (usando "when")

    "When you die" introduz uma oração temporal que modifica o período de tempo da oração principal, mostrando que algo acontece durante um período específico.

  • They never seem to hear even your cry

    ➔ "Parecer" + Infinitivo

    "Seem" é seguido pelo infinitivo "to hear". Esta estrutura expressa uma aparência ou impressão. O uso de "even" enfatiza a falta de atenção.

  • So as sure as the sun will shine

    ➔ Oração Condicional Tipo 1 (Implícita)

    ➔ A frase implica uma condição: 'Se o sol brilhar (o que acontecerá, pois é uma certeza), então...'. Esta é uma forma de expressar certeza sobre a consequência.

  • I'm gonna get my share now, what's mine

    ➔ "Gonna" (Going to) - Futuro Informal / Pronome Possessivo

    "Gonna" é uma contração informal de "going to", usada para intenções futuras. "What's mine" é um pronome possessivo, referindo-se a 'o que me pertence'.

  • And then the harder they come, The harder they fall, one and all

    ➔ A Construção The...the (Aumento/Diminuição Paralela)

    ➔ Esta estrutura expressa que, à medida que uma coisa aumenta (o quão forte alguém chega), outra coisa também aumenta (o quão forte eles caem). Mostra uma relação proporcional.

  • I'd rather be a free man in my grave

    ➔ "Would rather" + Infinitivo sem "to"

    "Would rather" expressa preferência. É seguido pela forma base do verbo sem 'to' (be).
