Asa de Águia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Como fazer o bem
É só deixar o amor
No coração de alguém
O meu caminho é livre
Na linha do horizonte
Eu vou amar você
Não vou querer mais ninguém
No vôo da águia rasante
O vento leva o teu beijo
Na esperança de um dia
A gente se encontrar
O gosto dessa alegria
É ser você meu desejo
No carrossel de magia
O tempo pode esperar
O sol é rei
No azul do mar
O Asa arreia
Por onde passar
