Meu Ninho
Beto Guedes Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fiz a cama na varanda
Sob o manto das estrelas
Fui deitar com meu amor
Deu um vento na roseira
Espalhou a primavera
E cobriu com flor com flor

Afogado em tanta rosa

Tive a rosa mais bonita
Quem é você, meu bem querer
Hoje eu sei que dessa vida
Só se leva a paz vivida
O viver e o querer bem

Deu um vento na roseira
Por amor aprisionado
Fiz meu ninho com você
Meu querer bem
Meu bem querer

No seu mundo fiz meu ninho
Mesmo quando vou sozinho
Estou junto com você
Cada curva no caminho
Cada rosa e cada espinho
Dão saudade de você

Seu amor puro e sincero
Por ser tudo que eu quero
Faz você meu bem querer
Fiz a cama na varanda
Mesmo quando estou dormindo
Tô sonhando com você

Deu um vento na roseira
Por amor aprisionado
Fiz meu ninho com você
Meu querer bem
Meu bem querer
No seu mundo fiz meu ninho
Mesmo quando vou sozinho
Estou junto com você

Cada curva no caminho
Cada rosa e cada espinho
Dão saudade de você
Seu amor puro e sincero
Por ser tudo que eu quero
Faz você meu bem querer
Fiz a cama na varanda

Mesmo quando estou dormindo
Tô sonhando com você
