Lyrics

Olho a rosa na janela, sonho um sonho pequenino
Se eu pudesse ser menino eu roubava esta rosa
E ofertava todo prosa à primeira namorada
E nesse pouco ou quase nada eu dizia o meu amor
O meu amor
Olho o sol findando lento, sonho um sonho de adulto
Minha voz na voz do vento indo em busca do teu vulto
E o meu verso em pedaços só querendo o teu perdão
Eu me perco nos teus passos e me encontro na canção
Ai, a… mor, eu vou morrer buscando o teu amor

Lyrics translation

I look at the Rose in the window, I dream a little dream
If I could be a boy I'd steal this rose
And offered every prose to his first girlfriend
And in that little or almost nothing I said My Love
My love
Eye the sun ending slow, dream an adult dream
My voice in the voice of the wind going in search of your height
And my verse in pieces just wanting your forgiveness
I get lost in your footsteps and find myself in the song
Oh, a ... mor, I'll die seeking your love
