Aurora
Ara Ketu Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Como eu vou ficar amor
Só amanhã ela irá voltar

Oh, sacode aí
Vem ver pra crer
Vem ser o rei da folia

Meu amor, quero sim

É tão bom é demais
Teu calor satisfaz
Te deixar nunca mais

Aurora, Aurora meu amor
Agora estou feliz porque você chegou
Na hora o meu coração quer liberdade
Eu vou espalhar amor pela cidade

Vou pedir a lua pra me consolar
E aliviar a dor
Estou cego de querer
Não agüento mais sofrer
Vem logo
Que eu não vivo sem você

Aurora, Aurora...
