Tenho Medo
Abuchamo Munhoto Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Corpo de viola
Sorriso encantador
Mas que mulher bonita
Hum-hum-hum

Com seu jeito meigo
Maneira de olhar
Há que confessar
Que eu já estou a gostar

Mas o meu coração tem medo de amar
As cores do arco-íris deixaram de brilhar
Ho-ho-hooo, ho-ho-hooo
Ho-ho-hooo

Eu tenho medo, eu tenho medo
Eu tenho medo, eu tenho medo

Meu bem perdoa
Não é que eu não queria te amar
Tu tens tudo pra me apaixonar
Que já 'tou louco pra beijar tua boca
Entregar minha vida

Mas o meu coração tem medo de amar
As cores do arco-íris deixaram de brilhar
Ho-ho-hooo, ho-ho-hooo
Ho-ho-hooo

Eu tenho medo, eu tenho medo
Eu tenho medo, eu tenho medo

(Eu confesso)
Que já 'tou louco
Pra beijar tua boca e te entregar minha vida
Hum-hum

Mas o meu coração tem medo de amar
As cores do arco-íris deixaram de brilhar





Eu tenho medo, eu tenho medo
Eu tenho medo, eu tenho medo
