Formed by Rogério Flausino (vocals), Marco Túlio (guitar), Márcio Buzelin (keyboards), P.J. (bass) and Paulinho Fonseca (drums), Jota Quest honored the tradition of the good music from Minas Gerais and redefined the Brazilian pop-rock scene.
Their first record was J. Quest, where they drank from the disco era to create a whole new sound. Their version of "Dores do Mundo" (Pains of the World), written by Hyldon in the 70's, quickly gained the charts, followed by others, and they went on tour all over Brazil. For this first tour, they used to enter the stage with "black power" wigs.
The second release was De Volta ao Planeta (Back to the Planet), with another bunch of hits. The theme was "The Return to the Planet of the Apes" and they used to wear monkey masks in some songs in the concerts. The songs were also very funky and groovy. It's very hard not to dance to Jota Quest's music.
They tried different things in the third record, Oxigênio (Oxygen). It moved away from the dance floor, with richer melodies and sounds. Public acclaim and album sales weren't very impressive.
Back to the winning formula with "Discotecagem Pop Variada", their fourth album, they consolidated themselves as one of the biggest bands in Brazil. It was quickly followed by "MTV Ao Vivo", a CD/DVD showing one of their performances in a free concert at Praça do Papa, in their hometown Belo Horizonte.
The fifth studio album, Até Onde Vai (How Far It Goes), was recently released as they continue their successful journey of bringing good music and joy to the world.

Do Seu Lado
Jota Quest Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Você implicava comigo
Mas hoje eu vejo que tanto tempo
Me deixou muito mais calmo
O meu comportamento egoísta
O seu temperamento difícil
Você me achava meio esquisito
Mas tudo que acontece na vida
Tem um momento e um destino
Viver é uma arte, é um ofício
Só que precisa cuidado
Pra perceber que olhar só pra dentro
É o maior desperdício
Porque o amor pode estar
Do seu lado
O amor é o calor
Que aquece a alma
O amor tem sabor
Pra quem bebe a sua água
Oh oh oh yeah
E hoje mesmo quase não lembro
Que já estive sozinho, yeah
Que um dia seria teu marido
teu príncipe encantado
Ter filhos, nosso apartamento
Fim de semana no sítio
Ir ao cinema todo domingo
Só com você do meu lado
Mas tudo que acontece na vida
Tem um momento e um destino
Viver é uma arte, é um ofício
Só que precisa cuidado
Pra perceber que olhar só pra dentro
É o maior desperdício baby
Porque o amor meu amor
Pode estar
Do seu lado
E o amor é o calor
Que aquece a alma
E o amor tem sabor
Pra quem bebe a sua água
E o amor é o calor
Que aquece a alma
E o amor tem sabor
Pra quem bebe a sua água
Oh oh yeah
The lyrics of Jota Quest's "Do Seu Lado" (By Your Side) speak about the transformation that can occur in a relationship over time. The singer reminisces about how, in the past, he and his partner didn't always see eye-to-eye. They each found quirks in the other that irked them. However, through the passage of time, their relationship has become more settled, and things that used to cause stress and annoyance between them are now minor bumps in the road. The singer sings about how he now recognizes the importance of paying attention to the world around him and not just focusing on his own thoughts and feelings. He has realized that, sometimes, new opportunities for love and happiness can be right by one's side, even if they aren't immediately apparent.
The lyrics overall convey the message that love and relationships require patience and understanding, and that time can teach us things that might have been overlooked in the past. The song highlights the idea that, sometimes, we might become blinded by our own perspectives, but learning to see the world through the eyes of a loved one can be a powerful thing.

Faz muito tempo mas eu me lembro
Although a long time has passed, I still remember
Você implicava comigo
You used to pick on me
Mas hoje eu vejo que tanto tempo
But now I see that all that time
Me deixou muito mais calmo
Left me much calmer
O meu comportamento egoísta
My selfish behavior
O seu temperamento difícil
Your difficult temperament
Você me achava meio esquisito
You thought I was a little weird
E eu te achava tão chata
And I found you so annoying
Mas tudo que acontece na vida
But everything that happens in life
Tem um momento e um destino
Has a moment and a destiny
Viver é uma arte, é um ofício
Living is an art, is a craft
Só que precisa cuidado
But it requires care
Pra perceber que olhar só pra dentro
To realize that looking only inward
É o maior desperdício
Is the greatest waste
Porque o amor pode estar
Because love may be
Do seu lado
By your side
O amor é o calor
Love is the warmth
Que aquece a alma
That warms the soul
O amor tem sabor
Love has flavor
Pra quem bebe a sua água
For those who drink its water
E hoje mesmo quase não lembro
And today I almost don't remember
Que já estive sozinho, yeah
That I was once alone, yeah
Que um dia seria teu marido
That one day I would be your husband
Teu príncipe encantado
Your charming prince
Ter filhos, nosso apartamento
Having children, our apartment
Fim de semana no sítio
Weekends at the country house
Ir ao cinema todo domingo
Going to the movies every Sunday
Só com você do meu lado
Only with you by my side
Porque o amor meu amor
Because love, my love,
Pode estar
Might be
Do seu lado
By your side
E o amor é o calor
And love is the warmth
Que aquece a alma
That warms the soul
E o amor tem sabor
And love has flavor
Pra quem bebe a sua água
For those who drink its water
E o amor é o calor
And love is the warmth
Que aquece a alma
That warms the soul
E o amor tem sabor
And love has flavor
Pra quem bebe a sua água
For those who drink its water
