Findo amor
Beto Guedes Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Chorando mais por querer
Eu sei que este amor
Singelo e feliz
E está chegando ao fim, eu sei
Eu vi seu jeito de princesa
E reclamei
Eu suporto tudo
O que vale a pena

Mas não me acostumo
Com a nobreza

Na espera da dor fiquei
Não posso esconder
Fiquei sem saber
Perdi seu coração
E quis levar
Lembranças mais perenes
Que o nosso amor
Pois perdi o medo
De amar sozinho

Apenas para livrá-la
Dos lacaios
