Letra:

[English]

All you fellows, gather 'round me

And let me give you some good advice

What I'm gonna, gonna ask you now

You better think about it twice

While you're out cheating on your woman

There's something you never even thought of, and that is

Who's making love to your old lady

While you were out making love (hear me now)

Who's making love to your old lady

While you were out making love

I've seen so, so many fellows

Fall in that same old bag

Thinking that a woman is made to,

To be beat on and treated so bad

Oh, fellows, let me ask you something

I'm sure that you never even dreamed of,

Who's making love to your old lady

While you were out making love

Who's making love to your old lady

While you were out making love

I know there are some women gives the other excuse

I'm not tryin' to run your life, boy it's up to you

Oh, you oh, you,

...

Reason why I ask this question

I used to be the same old way

When I decided to straighten up

I found it was a bit too late

Oh, that's when it all happened

Something I never, never dreamed of

Somebody was-a lovin' my old lady

While I was out making love

Somebody was-a lovin' my old lady

While I was out making love

Now who's making love to your old lady

While you were out making love

...

Gramática:

  • All you fellows, gather 'round me

    ➔ Modo imperativo

    ➔ O verbo "gather" está no modo imperativo, usado para dar uma ordem ou instrução aos "fellows".

  • And let me give you some good advice

    ➔ "Let" + pronome oblíquo + infinitivo (sem "to")

    ➔ A estrutura "let me give" usa "let" seguido de um pronome oblíquo ("me") e a forma base do verbo ("give"). Expressa permissão ou autorização para que o falante faça algo.

  • What I'm gonna, gonna ask you now

    ➔ Futuro com "gonna" (informal)

    "Gonna" é uma contração coloquial de "going to", indicando uma intenção futura. A repetição enfatiza a intenção.

  • There's something you never even thought of, and that is

    ➔ Oração relativa (reduzida) com pronome relativo omitido

    ➔ A oração "you never even thought of" modifica "something". O pronome relativo "that" ou "which" é omitido.

  • While you were out making love

    ➔ Pretérito contínuo (ação em progresso)

    ➔ O pretérito contínuo "were making" descreve uma ação que estava em progresso no passado, ocorrendo ao mesmo tempo que outra ação ou evento. Indica que em um certo ponto no passado, você "were making love".

  • Thinking that a woman is made to, To be beat on and treated so bad

    ➔ Voz passiva com infinitivo: "is made to be beat"

    "is made to be beat" usa a voz passiva para indicar que a mulher está sujeita a ser espancada. Embora seja gramaticalmente incomum e possivelmente incorreto na escrita formal, enfatiza o ato de ser espancado.

  • I know there are some women gives the other excuse

    ➔ Erro de concordância entre sujeito e verbo ("women gives")

    ➔ O sujeito "women" é plural, então o verbo deve ser "give" em vez de "gives". Provavelmente, este é um erro gramatical deliberado usado na fala informal ou na letra de uma música.

  • Reason why I ask this question

    ➔ Oração subordinada usando "why" para introduzir uma razão

    "Why" é usado como uma conjunção subordinada para introduzir a razão para fazer a pergunta. A frase completa poderia ser "The reason why I ask this question is...". "The reason" é omitido nesta música, o que é comum na fala coloquial.
