Lyrics

Enquanto eu corria, assim eu ia eu ia lhe chamar enquanto corria a barca
Por minha cabeça não passava
Só, só, somente só
Assim vou lhe chamar, assim você vai ser
Lá iá lá lá iá, lá lá lá iá, lá iá
Preta, preta, pretinha
eu ia lhe chamar enquanto corria a barca
Abre a porta e a janela e vem ver o sol nascer
Eu sou um pássaro que vivo avoando
Vivo avoando sem nunca mais parar
Ai, ai, ai, ai saudade não venha me matar

Lyrics translation

As I ran, so I was I was going to call you as I ran the boat
Through my head did not pass
Just, just, just just
So I'll call you, so you'll be
There you go, there you go, there you go, there you go
Black, black, black
I was going to call you while I ran the boat
Open the door and the window and come see the sun rise
I'm a bird that I live by
I live avoiding without ever stopping
Alas, alas, Alas, alas longing do not come kill me
