Netinho Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sera bem melhor a vida
Quando tu não existias
Total Bateu na porta o destino
e me levou por um caminho
Que eu não pude escolher
A Ti, prefiro uma cerveja
A Ti, brindemos juntos
O Fracasso desse amor (Bis)
Que me importa se duvidas
Total, Total
Que me importa se já vais
Total, Total
Será bem melhor a vida
Voltar ao seus braços, jamais
Que me importa se duvidas
Total, Total
Que me importa se já vais
Total, Total
Será bem melhor a vida
Provar os teus beijos, jamais
Total que me emporta se me olvidas
Eras mas bela la vida
Quando tu não existias
Total que me emporta se el destino
Me levou por un caminho
Al qual poder volver
The lyrics of Netinho's song "Total" convey the idea of a rejection of a relationship that did not work out. The singer is saying that it doesn't matter if there are doubts and uncertainty about his decision because his life was better before this person came along. He was taken on a path that he didn't choose, and now he prefers to be with his friends, having a beer, and celebrating the failure of this love. The word "Total" is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing the absolute finality of his decision.
Although he may have doubts and wonder if it would be better to go back to his previous partner, he realizes that it wouldn't be a good idea because his life was better before this person came along, and he doesn't want to go back to that unhappy situation. The use of the word "Total" emphasizes the idea of a final decision, a complete break from the past. He acknowledges that the path he was taken down was not his choice, but he has accepted it and moved on. Ultimately, he recognizes that there is nothing left to salvage in this relationship and that it's better to accept it and move on.
