Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mas o amor sabe um segredo o medo pode matar o seu coração
Água de beber, água de beber camará, água de beber, água de beber camará.
Eu nunca fiz coisa tão certa entrei pra escola do perdão
A minha casa vive aberta abri todas as portas do coração
Água de beber, água de beber camará, água de beber, água de beber camará.
Eu sempre tive uma certeza que só me deu desilusão
É que o amor é uma tristeza muita mágoa demais para um coração.
