Estrangeiro
Roberta Spitaletti Lyrics

The lyrics of Roberta Spitaletti's song Estrangeiro address the transience of life and the inevitability of change. The first two lines, "Isso vai passar / Bem na sua frente" ("This will pass / Right in front of you"), suggest that everything is temporary, and that we often fail to see this truth. The following line, "Mas o que não vê / Vai durar pra sempre" ("But what you don't see / Will last forever"), underlines the idea that our lack of awareness can make us feel stuck in situations that will eventually change.

The second verse speaks of the singer's sense of displacement: "Posso sorrir, mas não sou completo / Estrangeiro aqui / Tenho destino certo" ("I can smile, but I'm not complete / A stranger here / I have a certain destiny"). The words suggest that the singer is an outsider in the world, despite trying to fit in. The chorus reinforces this idea, as the singer describes themselves as a traveler on the road, a visitor with an appointed time, and someone for whom the everything of the world is nothing. The song ends on a note of hope, as the singer acknowledges that even though life can be uncertain and fleeting, there is a greater plan that their God has in store.
