Epitáfio
Titãs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ter chorado mais
Ter visto o sol nascer
Devia ter arriscado mais
E até errado mais
Ter feito o que eu queria fazer
Queria ter aceitado
As pessoas como elas são
Cada um sabe a alegria
E a dor que traz no coração
O acaso vai me proteger
Enquanto eu andar distraído
O acaso vai me proteger
Enquanto eu andar
Devia ter complicado menos
Trabalhado menos
Ter visto o sol se pôr
Devia ter me importado menos
Com problemas pequenos
Ter morrido de amor
Queria ter aceitado
A vida como ela é
A cada um cabe alegrias
E a tristeza que vier
O acaso vai me proteger
Enquanto eu andar distraído
O acaso vai me proteger
Enquanto eu andar
O acaso vai me proteger
Enquanto eu andar distraído
O acaso vai me proteger
Enquanto eu andar
Epitáfio is a reflective song by Brazilian rock band Titãs about regrets and missed opportunities in life. The opening lines are a lament for not having loved enough, cried enough, and appreciated the beauty of life more. The songwriter expresses regret for not taking more risks and for letting small problems bother them. They also wish they had accepted people as they are and not judged them for their flaws. The chorus provides a glimmer of hope, however, as the songwriter believes that fate will protect them as long as they remain unaware and preoccupied with their own thoughts.
The song's melancholic tone reflects on the universal human condition of hindsight and introspection. The poet's insightful observation is a reminder that even with our best efforts, life can sometimes pass us by, and we are left with regret for our actions or inactions. The message of the song is to learn from our past selves and to take advantage of every moment the present has to offer. The repetition of the phrase "O acaso vai me proteger" reinforces the idea that life is full of surprises and that we cannot control everything. Therefore it is essential to live in the moment and enjoy life as it is.
