Axé
Carolina Soares Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Axé é o que me faz jogar
(coro)
Vem a língua africana
Quer dizer energia vital
Na roda de capoeira
O axé vem do berimbau
Sou um grão de areia
Na imensidão do mar
Guiada pela vibração
Eu vou onde o axé me levar
(coro)
Trago comigo energia
E busco conhecimento
Eu deixo aqui alegria
E levo o fundamento
(coro)
