Outro Lado
Capitão Fausto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Já devia saber com o que posso contar
As voltas à procura da desculpa não resultam
Mesmo assim nunca deixamos de as dar
E aquilo que nos resta a nós os dois dessa conversa
São lamentos não te posso encontrar
Talvez só estejas à procura nesta nossa noite escura
Outro lado até passar
'Tar aqui na frente só nos vai afastar
Qualquer lado onde eu não vá
Deve haver imensos sítios bons para ficar
Tens pouca falta de alegria
Não devias ter medo, nem sequer hesitar
Para quem faz da vida festa e à tristeza nada empresta
Choramos e depois vai passar
Para lembrar que esta ternura perdura
Fazemo-nos sofrer sem nunca querer maltratar
Escrevi-te um disco em que eu só canto
O nosso amor, o teu encanto
No dia em que é preciso arranjar
Outro lado até passar
'Tar aqui na frente só nos vai afastar
Qualquer lado onde eu não vá
Deve haver imensos sítios bons para ficar
Outro lado até passar
'Tar aqui na frente só nos vai afastar
Qualquer lado onde eu não vá
Deve haver imensos sítios bons para ficar
In the song "Outro Lado" by Capitão Fausto, the lyrics delve into themes of uncertainty, relationships, and self-discovery. The singer reflects on a familiar pattern of behavior where they should have known what to expect but still find themselves searching for excuses. Despite the futile attempts to find an excuse, they continue to give them, emphasizing a sense of resignation and inevitability in their actions. This sets the tone for a conversation or interaction that is fraught with tension and unresolved emotions.
The chorus of the song introduces the idea of exploring the "outro lado," or the other side, as a way to navigate through their current struggles. There is a recognition that staying in the same place or continuing in the same manner will only lead to further distance between the two individuals involved. The singer acknowledges the need for a change of perspective or location as a means to potentially bridge the gap that has formed between them. This idea of seeking a different path, a new direction, or a fresh outlook is presented as a way to find peace and understanding.
The lyrics touch upon the contrast between joy and sadness, highlighting the singer's observation that there is a lack of joy and an unwarranted fear or hesitation present in the other person. Despite their attempts to infuse festivity into life and not lend any sorrow, they find themselves in moments of shared grief. This emotional paradox is further explored as the singer expresses a desire for lasting tenderness while inadvertently causing themselves and the other person pain. The depiction of writing a song dedicated to their love interest conveys a sense of longing and creativity amidst the emotional turmoil.
The repeated refrain of "Outro lado até passar" reinforces the idea of seeking a different perspective or destination to overcome the current struggles. The singer recognizes that remaining stagnant or being stuck in the present circumstances will only lead to further distance and discord. The notion of there being many good places to stay implies a sense of hope and optimism for finding a resolution or a new beginning. Overall, the lyrics of "Outro Lado" by Capitão Fausto depict a complex emotional landscape where introspection, change, and the unknown play pivotal roles in navigating through relationships and personal growth.

Eu já conheço esta mania
I am already familiar with this habit
Já devia saber com o que posso contar
I should have known what to expect
As voltas à procura da desculpa não resultam
Taking turns looking for excuses doesn't work
Mesmo assim nunca deixamos de as dar
Nevertheless, we never stop giving them
E aquilo que nos resta a nós os dois dessa conversa
And what remains for the two of us in this conversation
São lamentos não te posso encontrar
Are regrets that I can't find you
Talvez só estejas à procura nesta nossa noite escura
Maybe you are only looking in this dark night of ours
O dia em que é preciso arranjar
The day we need to fix
Outro lado até passar
Another side until it goes away
'Tar aqui na frente só nos vai afastar
Being here in front will only push us apart
Qualquer lado onde eu não vá
Any side where I don't go
Deve haver imensos sítios bons para ficar
There must be plenty of good places to stay
Tens pouca falta de alegria
You lack a little joy
Não devias ter medo, nem sequer hesitar
You shouldn't be afraid, or even hesitate
Para quem faz da vida festa e à tristeza nada empresta
For those who make a party of life and lend nothing to sadness
Choramos e depois vai passar
We cry and then it will pass
Para lembrar que esta ternura perdura
To remember that this tenderness endures
Fazemo-nos sofrer sem nunca querer maltratar
We make ourselves suffer without ever wanting to hurt
Escrevi-te um disco em que eu só canto
I wrote you a record where I only sing
O nosso amor, o teu encanto
Our love, your charm
