Não pense que estou triste
Ou que eu fiquei zangado
Por ti ainda sou
Um cara apaixonado
Só quero ser feliz
Pra sempre do seu lado
Pro que der e vier
Ainda sou seu fã
O Asa voa, voa
Estrela iluminada
O Asa voa, voa
Levando a felicidade
O Asa voa, voa
Na vida que eu sempre quis
O amor e liberdade
Sou Asa, sou Asa
Lararauê,lalarararauê
