Cravo e Canela
DJ Zé Pedro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cigana quem temperou?
O cheiro do cravo
Cigana quem temperou?
Morena quem temperou?
A cor de canela
A lua morena
O ventre da noite
E o sol da manh chuva cigana
A dan dos rios
O mel do cacau
E o sol da manh he luna morena
The sound of the woods
The taste of the clove
Cinnamon stone
The rainy cigana
The dance of the rivers
The taste of the clove
Cinnamon stone
Fernando de Paula Junior
