Destino
Sisyphos Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

the road that i walk on
looks no so secure
further than any distance
where nothing can be sure
the night is getting darker
but soon it will end
the light of a new dawn comes
in this life you have to know
how to rule your destiny
so just go for it
you're the one who stands strong
in your soul
find a way to rule your destiny
don't let it control you

tutto può succedere
vuoi sapere una ragione?
i giorni si consumano
ore dopo ore
corri corri seguendo
il flusso del tempo
parto mi perdo
ci penserò
segui segui
la scia di ogni momento
e un'altra strada ancora
corri corri seguendo
il flusso del tempo
parto mi perdo
ci penserò
segui segui
la scia di ogni momento
e un'altra strada ancora

bass line tek it easy now
watch di movie from a new sight
life easy go
flesh yeh flesh dis a wi prison now
though yuh cyaan
separate it from your spirit now
here comes sisyphos,
here comes di general,
dis is pupa mellow
wid di microphone stand
cyaan stop di revolution
if a so we tan




tell dem dutty bastard
fi move and galang

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Sisyphos's song "Destino" speak to the uncertainty and unpredictability of life's journey. The opening lines describe a road that appears insecure and a future that is uncertain. However, the singer recognizes that the darkness will soon end and that a new dawn will come.


In the chorus, the message is clear: one needs to learn how to rule their destiny, to not let life control them. It is a call to take control and have agency over one's own life. The Italian lyrics in the second verse roughly translate to "anything can happen, you want to know why? Days consume themselves, hour after hour, run, run, following the flow of time. Follow the trail of each moment and another road again." The overall message is to take risks, follow your instincts, and embrace the unknown.
