Um Pro Outro Lyrics in English by Lulu Santos
Tufão translates directly to "typhoon" or "hurricane". It's a strong, evocative word that isn't commonly found in everyday song lyrics, making it stand out.
In the context of the song, Lulu Santos uses it metaphorically to describe the intense and fast-paced nature of life and love. He sings, "De que a vida passa assim como um tufão" (That life passes like a typhoon), conveying a sense of urgency and powerful, uncontrollable movement, which adds a dramatic flair to the song's message about destiny and connection.
This is a Lulu Santos song about running into someone and realising, all over again, that you belong together. It opens with "Foi bom te ver de novo aqui" (It was good to see you here again), and from there he lists what he loves about her: the sound of the guitar, "a voz sempre rouca" (the always-husky voice) and "o coração na mão" (the heart in hand). That last phrase is a Portuguese idiom for being open and sincere, wearing your heart on your sleeve.
The chorus is the whole point: "Nós somos feitos um pro outro, pode crer" (We are made for each other, believe it). Pode crer is a very Brazilian way to say "for sure" or "you bet", and pro is the spoken contraction of para o. He even says no logic can undo "o que o acaso decidir" (whatever chance decides), which is a sweet idea: they did not plan this, luck did. The second verse pokes fun at people rushing "a nenhum lugar" (to nowhere) just to feel life blowing past "como um tufão" (like a typhoon). Easy, warm and very singable.
