Hello, hello, hello! How have you been, my dear readers?

I hope you and your beloved ones are all safe and sound!

Well, I’ve been in love with life, so let’s listen to some Adele, shall we?

Easy On Me – Adele

There ain’t no gold in this river
That I’ve been washin’ my hands in forever
I know there is hope in these waters
But I can’t bring myself to swim
When I am drowning in this silence
Baby, let me in

Go easy on me, baby
I was still a child
Didn’t get the chance to
Feel the world around me
I had no time to choose
What I chose to do
So go easy on me

There ain’t no room for things to change
When we are both so deeply stuck in our ways
You can’t deny how hard I have tried
I changed who I was to put you both first
But now I give up

Go easy on me, baby
I was still a child
Didn’t get the chance to
Feel the world around me
Had no time to choose
What I chose to do
So go easy on me

I had good intentions
And the highest hopes
But I know right now
That probably doesn’t even show

Go easy on me, baby
I was still a child
I didn’t get the chance to
Feel the world around me
I had no time to choose
What I chose to do
So go easy on me

Anyway…

Um leitor me perguntou o que é “ain’t”, pois every now and then ele acha esse termo pelas música e séries. 

A resposta é simples:

Ain’t é não. Isso: não. Apenas.

Ain’t: am not, is not, are not and have not

However… Ain’t não existe na formalidade e na gramática da língua inglesa, pois é gíria (e válida). Você pode utilizar em várias frases para dizer não. 

Se você me perguntar, eu acho horrível, porém até a Adele usa. Então, amor, quem sou eu, né?

Examples

  • I ain’t going. = I am not going.
  • They ain’t home. = They are not home.
  • He ain’t answering his phone. = He is not answering his phone.
  • They ain’t been here before. = They have not been here before.
  • She ain’t been able to walk since she fell.
