Três Lados Lyrics in English Skank

Home / Lyrics Translation / Skank / Três Lados

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Três Lados by Skank from Portuguese to English.

I heard someone open the gates

I found crowds in my heart

My desire and my destiny

Fought like brothers

And the morning will sow other grains

You were far away, so

Why did you come back

Your summer eyes

That won't understand?

And as for me, I want you, yes

Come say you don't know

And as for me, it's not the end

There's no reason for it to ever end

Each will have reasons or harpoons

I devoted myself to your contradictions

Fissions, confusions

My desire, your good sense, rabid like dogs

And the morning will provide us other loaves

The gods sell when they give

Better to know

Your summer eyes

That they won't even remember

And as for me, I want you, yes

Come say you don't know

And as for me, it's not the end

There's no reason for it to ever end

We are two against the wall

And everything has three sides

And the night will cast other dice

The gods sell when they give

Better to know

Your summer eyes

That they won't even remember

And as for me, I want you, yes

Come say you don't know

And as for me, it's not the end

There's no reason for it to ever end

And as for me, I want you, yes

Come say you don't know

And as for me, it's not the end

There's no reason for it to ever end

SONG MEANING

Três Lados paints a vivid picture of a love story stuck between what the heart wants and what reality allows. From the very first line, gates swing open and crowds rush in, symbolizing all the possibilities and doubts that flood the narrator’s chest. He and his partner are “two against the wall,” boxed in by conflicting forces: desire vs. good sense, hope vs. fear, and even memory vs. forgetfulness (those dreamy “eyes of summer” that might not remember a thing). The repeated plea, “it isn’t the end,” shows a stubborn optimism that love can outgrow its own contradictions, sprouting “other grains” and “other breads” with each new dawn.

The title means Three Sides and reminds us that every story has more angles than just his side and her side. There is always a hidden third point of view—the unpredictable twist of fate that “throws new dice” every night. Instead of choosing between winning or losing, the song suggests embracing the whole, messy triangle: passion, reason, and destiny. That acceptance turns heartache into possibility, making the song feel like a hopeful wink to anyone juggling complicated feelings of their own.
