Guardei Minha Viola
Paulinho da Viola Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Minha viola vai pro fundo do baú
Não haverá mais ilusão
Quero esquecer ela não deixa
Alguém que só me fez ingratidão
(Minha viola)

No carnaval quero afastar
As mágoas que meu samba não desfaz
Pra facilitar o meu desejo
Guardei meu violão, não toco mais
