With all my heart

“DE CORAÇÃO”

Como se diz em INGLÊS

By Alberto Queiroz

MAIRO VERGARA

Feb. 19, 2026

“De coração” (ou “de todo coração”) é aquilo que dizemos ou fazemos com sinceridade, sem reservas, com bastante entusiasmo. Em Inglês, temos uma expressão parecida que, embora não seja uma equivalência perfeita, serve frequentemente como tradução: with all one’s heart, “com todo o seu coração”. Curiosamente, a expressão só existe com o “todo” na Língua Inglesa – é improvável que você veja alguém usar with one’s heart (sem all).
Confira alguns exemplos:

• I love her with all my heart. (Eu a amo de todo coração.)
• She tried with all her heart to please them. (Ela tentou agradar a eles de todo coração.)
• I hope with all my heart that you will be happy. (Espero de todo coração que você seja feliz.)
• I just wanted to tell you, with all my heart, how proud I am of you. (Só queria lhe dizer, de todo coração, o quão orgulhoso estou de você.)
• He loves his family with all his heart. (Ele ama sua família de todo coração.)

Além disso, temos uma outra palavra: wholeheartedly, que, você pode notar, é uma palavra composta de whole (“inteiro”) e heartedly (que tecnicamente seria “de coração”). Wholeheartedly tende a ser mais o equivalente de “entusiasticamente”, mas também pode servir como tradução de “de todo coração”:

• I wholeheartedly support your campaign. (Eu apoio a sua campanha de todo coração.)
• I hear what you say* and I wholeheartedly agree. (Eu entendo o que você diz e concordo de todo coração.)
• They endorsed the book wholeheartedly. (Eles deram seu apoio ao livro de todo coração.)

“De coração” é uma locução adverbial – ou seja, um conjunto de palavras que serve para modificar um verbo. Wholeheartedly é igualmente um advérbio. Mas existe também um adjetivo: wholehearted. Embora tecnicamente wholehearted também signifique “de todo coração”, geralmente pode ser traduzido como “integral” ou “entusiástico”:

• He received their wholehearted praise for his actions. (Ele recebeu deles o louvor entusiástico por suas ações.)
• They gave the proposal their wholehearted approval. (Eles deram à proposta sua aprovação integral. / Eles aprovaram a proposta de todo coração.)
• You have my wholehearted support. (Você tem todo o meu apoio.)

* I hear you nem sempre é usado no sentido literal de “ouvir”, mas também pode ser um jeito de dizer “entendo”, “estou ligado”.

Well, that’s all! Espero que este post tenha servido para ilustrar como a expressão “de coração” aparece na Língua Inglesa. Bons estudos!

THE LORD’S PRAYER - OUR FATHER
(Pai Nosso)
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come,
thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
Amen.

HAIL MARY
(Ave Maria)
Hail, Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

APOSTLES’ CREED
(Credo)
I believe in God, the Father almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth.
And in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died and was buried.
He descended into hell.
On the third day he rose again from the dead.
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty.
From there he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and life everlasting.
Amen.

GLORY BE TO THE FATHER
(Glória)
Glory be to the Father,
and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning,
is now, and ever shall be,
world without end.
Amen.

HAIL HOLY QUEEN
(Salve Rainha)
Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy,
our life, our sweetness and our hope.
To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve.
To thee do we send up our sighs,
mourning and weeping in this valley of tears.
Turn then, most gracious advocate,
thine eyes of mercy toward us,
and after this our exile,
show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
O clement, O loving,
O sweet Virgin Mary!
Amen.

ACT OF CONTRITION
(Ato de Contrição)
O my God, I am heartily sorry
for having offended thee,
and I detest all my sins
because of thy just punishments,
but most of all because they offend thee, my God,
who art all good and deserving of all my love.
I firmly resolve, with the help of thy grace,
to sin no more and to avoid the near occasions of sin.
Amen.

FATIMA PRAYER
(Oração do Terço)
O my Jesus, forgive us our sins,
save us from the fires of hell,
lead all souls to heaven,
especially those in most need of thy mercy.
Amen.

ANGEL OF GOD
(Oração ao Anjo da Guarda)
Angel of God, my guardian dear,
to whom God’s love commits me here,
ever this day be at my side,
to light and guard, to rule and guide.
Amen.

PRAYER OF SAINT FRANCIS OF ASSISI
(Oração de São Francisco de Assis)
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love.
Where there is injury, pardon.
Where there is discord, union.
Where there is doubt, faith.
Where there is error, truth.
Where there is despair, hope.
Where there is sadness, joy.
Where there is darkness, light.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console,
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Amen.

SERENITY PRAYER
(Oração da Serenidade)
God, grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.
Amen.

AUDIO TRANSCRIPT

Hi everyone! My name is Emma, and I’m a travel blogger. Today, I’m sharing a glimpse into my daily routine while traveling.
I usually wake up at 7:00 a.m. to make the most of my day. I start my mornings by the window of my hotel room, sipping a cup of coffee and watching the sunrise. It’s the best way to feel inspired!
Once I’m ready, I head out on foot to explore the city. Walking is my favorite way to discover hidden spots. Yesterday, for example, I found a tiny café by chance that served the most amazing pastries. Sometimes, I also travel by bike, especially if the city has good bike lanes.
For longer distances, I use public transportation. Trains and buses are affordable, and you can meet so many interesting people on a bus or by train. I once met a musician on a train who played the guitar during the whole ride!
My afternoons are usually spent taking photos and writing notes for my blog. I often sit by a river or under a tree, enjoying nature while I work. It’s peaceful and helps me focus. If I’m visiting a museum, I take photos of art created by famous painters to share with my readers.
Evenings are the best time to try local food. Last night, I went to a restaurant by the beach and had dinner while watching the waves. It was magical! I always write about these experiences so others can visit these places too.
By the time I’m back at my hotel, it’s late. I relax on the bed and plan my schedule for the next day. Being a travel blogger isn’t always easy, but it’s worth it when you’re surrounded by new cultures and beautiful places.

Audio 1 - Dialogue 1
Alex: Hey, Sam! What did you do over the weekend?
Sam: Hi, Alex! I went camping with my family. We stayed in the mountains for three days. It was so refreshing to get away from the city.
Alex: That sounds amazing! Did you do any special activities while you were there?
Sam: Yes, we did a lot of things. We went hiking during the day, and in the evenings, we had bonfires and roasted marshmallows. It was a lot of fun.
Alex: Hiking sounds great. Did you see any wildlife during your hikes?
Sam: We saw a few deer and lots of birds. It was really cool to see animals in their natural habitat. My younger brother was thrilled.
Alex: That must have been exciting for him. What else did you do while you were camping?
Sam: We also went fishing in a nearby lake. My dad and I caught a few fish, and we cooked them for dinner. Fresh fish tastes so much better!
Alex: I bet it does. Did you have any challenges during your camping trip?
Sam: Well, it rained for a bit on the second day, which made things a little difficult. But we stayed in our tents during the rain and played board games. It was actually quite fun.
Alex: Sounds like you made the best of it. I'd love to go camping sometime. Do you have any tips for a beginner like me?
Sam: Sure! Make sure to pack enough food and water, and always be prepared for changes in the weather. Also, don’t forget a first-aid kit. Safety is important.
Alex: Thanks for the tips, Sam. Maybe I’ll plan a camping trip soon.

Audio 2 - Dialogue 2
Emily: Hi, Jenna! How was your vacation in Italy?
Jenna: Hi, Emily! It was amazing! I visited Italy for two weeks and had the best time exploring different cities.
Emily: That sounds incredible! What did you enjoy the most during your trip?
Jenna: I think my favorite part was exploring the historical sites. During my stay in Rome, I visited the Colosseum and the Vatican. The history and architecture were just breathtaking.
Emily: I can imagine! Did you take lots of photos while you were there?
Jenna: Yes, I took hundreds of pictures. Every corner of Rome has something beautiful or interesting to photograph. I'll definitely show you some later.
Emily: I'd love that! Did you have any interesting experiences during your trip?
Jenna: Oh, absolutely! While I was in Venice, I went on a gondola ride. It was so romantic and peaceful, gliding through the canals and seeing the city from the water.
Emily: That sounds wonderful! Did you try any local foods?
Jenna: Yes, I did. Italian food is so delicious! I had pasta and pizza almost every day. During my time in Florence, I tried the famous Florentine steak. It was so good!
Emily: I'm getting hungry just thinking about it. Did you meet any interesting people while traveling?
Jenna: Yes, I met some wonderful people. During my train ride from Rome to Florence, I met a friendly couple from Australia. We ended up sightseeing together for a day and had a lot of fun.
Emily: It's always nice to meet new people while traveling. Did you have any challenges during your trip?
Jenna: The only challenge was the language barrier at times, but most people were very patient and helpful. Plus, I learned a few Italian phrases that really helped.
Emily: That's great! It sounds like you had a fantastic time. I hope I can visit Italy someday too.
Jenna: You definitely should, Emily. It's an experience you'll never forget.

AUDIO TRANSCRIPT

Host: Welcome to today's podcast, where we'll be discussing how to plan your dream vacation. Joining me is Alex, who recently went on an exciting trip. Hi, Alex!
Alex: Hi, glad to be here!
Host: Alex, can you tell us about your recent vacation?
Alex: Sure! I went to Japan for two weeks in April.
Host: That sounds amazing! How long have you wanted to visit Japan?
Alex: I've wanted to visit Japan since I was a teenager. It's been a dream of mine for many years.
Host: Wow, that's a long time! How did you plan your trip?
Alex: Well, I saved money for the trip for over a year. I knew I wanted to go during cherry blossom season, so I planned my trip from late March to early April.
Host: That must have been a beautiful time to visit! What were some highlights of your trip?
Alex: One of the highlights was visiting Kyoto. I explored the city from morning till night, visiting temples and trying traditional foods.
Host: That sounds fantastic! How did you manage your time during the trip?
Alex: I scheduled my days carefully. For example, I would visit attractions from 9 AM to 1 PM, have lunch from 1 PM to 2 PM, and then explore more places in the afternoon.
Host: That's a great way to make the most of your time. How did you find the local people?
Alex: The locals were friendly and helpful. Since I stayed in Kyoto for four days, I got to know the neighborhood and even made friends with some of the locals.
Host: It sounds like an unforgettable experience! Would you recommend others to visit Japan?
Alex: Absolutely! Japan has so much to offer, from its rich culture to its delicious cuisine. I think everyone should experience it at least once in their lifetime.
Host: Thank you, Alex, for sharing your travel experiences with us.
Alex: You're welcome! Happy travels to everyone listening!
Host: That's all for today's podcast. Thank you all for tuning in. Until next time!
Alex: Bye everyone!

Person A: Did you climb over the wall at the start like I did?
Person B: No, I actually ran around the side of it!
Person A: Oh really? And what did you do next? Did you go through the gate?
Person B: Well, I headed towards it, but then I decided to jump into the lake and swim across it instead.
Person A: Ah, I see. When I left the tunnel, I had to go up a small hill and then run between two rows of trees.
Person B: Yes, I saw you there! After I got out of the water, I ran past you, but you didn’t see me.
Person A: No, I didn’t. So that’s how you managed to finish before me!
