Um Contra O Outro Lyrics in English Deolinda

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Um Contra O Outro by Deolinda from Portuguese to English.
Come on, unplug the cable
That links life to that game
Play with me, a new game
With two lives, one against the other
It's not enough
This fight against time
This time we waste
Trying to beat someone
In the end
What counts as a win
Turns out we waste it
Giving nothing to anyone
Come on, take a break
Pull over the car
Get out of the race
Drop that war
Because your finish line
Is on this side
Of your life
Level up
Leave invisible mode
Switch to compatible mode
With my condition
Because your life
Is real and on repeat
Gives you more than the impossible
If you give me your hand
Leave home and come outside with me
Come, 'cause that life you have
No matter how many lives you gain
It's yours that
Loses more if you don't come
Leave home and come outside with me
Come, 'cause that life you have
No matter how many lives you gain
It's yours that
Loses more if you don't come
Come on, show what you're worth
You in that game
Are worth so little
Trade the habit
For a new one
Because the challenge
Is hand-to-hand
Pick the weapon
The strategy that won't fail
The strong side of the battle
Crank the power to the max
I'll give you the edge, you with everything, me with nothing
And even so, unarmed
I'll teach you how to lose
Leave home and come outside with me
Come, 'cause that life you have
No matter how many lives you gain
It's yours that
Loses more if you don't come
Leave home and come outside with me
Come, 'cause that life you have
No matter how many lives you gain
It's yours that
Loses more if you don't come
Leave home and come outside with me
Come, 'cause that life you have
No matter how many lives you gain
It's yours that
Loses more if you don't come
Leave home and come outside with me
Come, 'cause that life you have
No matter how many lives you gain
It's yours that
Loses more if you don't come
Leave home and come outside with me
Come, 'cause that life you have
No matter how many lives you gain
It's yours that
Loses more if you don't come

SONG MEANING

Um Contra O Outro turns a late‐night gaming session into a wake-up call. Deolinda sings to someone glued to a console, lost in endless levels, power-ups, and invisible battles. With playful commands like "desliga o cabo" (unplug the cable) and "muda de nível" (change level), she uses video-game slang to spotlight our modern obsession with winning points in virtual or competitive spaces—while real life quietly slips by.

The chorus is a bright invitation to “sai de casa e vem comigo para a rua” (leave the house and come outside). Outside the screen there is no leaderboard; there is connection, spontaneity, and the simple thrill of being present. Deolinda reminds us that every extra “life” collected in the game is worthless if we miss the only life that truly counts. Her message is upbeat yet urgent: switch off, step out, and play for real—because the greatest loss is staying inside when the world is waiting.
