Oh, she may be weary

And young girls they do get wearied

Wearing that same old shaggy dress, yeah, yeah

But when she gets weary

Try a little tenderness, yeah, yeah

You know she's waiting

Just anticipating

For things that she'll never, never, never, never possess, yeah, yeah

But while she's there waiting, without them

Try a little tenderness

That's all you gotta do

It's not just sentimental, no, no, no

She has her grief and care, yeah, yeah-yeah

But the soft words, they are spoke so gentle, yeah

It makes it easier, easier to bear, yeah

You won't regret it, no, no

Some girls they don't forget it

Love is their own happiness, yeah

But it's all so easy

All you gotta do is try

Try a little tenderness, yeah

All you gotta do is, man

Hold her where you want her

Squeeze her

Don't tease her

Never leave her

Get to her, try, try

Gramática:

  • Oh, she may be weary

    ➔ Verbo modal "may" expressando possibilidade/incerteza

    ➔ O verbo modal "may" indica que é possível ou provável que ela esteja "weary" (cansada), mas não é uma afirmação definitiva.

  • And young girls they do get wearied

    ➔ "Do" enfático + verbo

    ➔ A palavra "do" é usada para enfatizar o verbo "get wearied". Adiciona peso emocional e afirma a declaração.

  • Wearing that same old shaggy dress, yeah, yeah

    ➔ Particípio presente "Wearing" funcionando como um adjetivo que modifica "girls"

    "Wearing" descreve as garotas, indicando que são elas que estão com o "shaggy dress" (vestido desgrenhado). A frase encurta a frase.

  • Just anticipating For things that she'll never possess, yeah, yeah

    ➔ Tempo futuro com "will" (she'll) expressando uma previsão.

    "She'll never possess" usa o tempo futuro para indicar que o orador acredita que ela não possuirá nem terá essas coisas em nenhum momento no futuro.

  • It's not just sentimental, no, no, no

    ➔ Uso de "not just" para limitar o escopo de uma descrição.

    "Not just sentimental" sugere que há mais na situação do que simplesmente sentimentos emocionais. Há outros fatores envolvidos.

  • But the soft words, they are spoke so gentle, yeah

    ➔ Voz passiva ("are spoke") usada de forma não convencional para enfatizar

    ➔ A frase "are spoke" é gramaticalmente incorreta, mas é usada aqui para fins artísticos e para chamar a atenção para a forma como as palavras são pronunciadas suavemente. A frase mais típica seria "are spoken".

  • Hold her where you want her

    ➔ Modo imperativo com uma oração adverbial de lugar.

    "Hold her" é uma ordem. "Where you want her" é uma cláusula que diz *onde* segurá-la.

  • Don't tease her

    ➔ Imperativo negativo.

    ➔ A palavra "don't" torna o imperativo "tease her" negativo, o que significa que você não deve realizar essa ação.
