the other one
(w. benatti - p. fernandes)

since the time you went to that party,
when i met you, little girl,
at the moment i saw your eyes,
i don't know, but i got lost.
have you got somebody who loves you?
have you walked alone through the streets?
why don't you see that i exist
look at me
what can i do to make you happy right away?
look me in the eyes and tell me soon
i wanna know.
don't you tell me you love any other
who is he? is he someone important?




what has he got that i do not have.
i want to know.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Pholhas's song, The Other One, depict a heartbroken man yearning for the affection of a woman he met at a party. From the very moment he saw her, he was smitten and lost in her gaze. He questions her feelings for him and ponders whether or not she has someone else in her life. He wants to know what he can do to make her happy and desires to be the one she loves. He asks her not to tell him about any other man because it would hurt him to know. He wonders what the other man has that he doesn't and why he is not good enough for her.


The song portrays the pain and anguish of unrequited love, a feeling that many can relate to. The lyrics are emotional and heartfelt, and the music complements the mood of the song. The vocalist delivers the lines with passion, conveying the pain of rejected love.
