Amiga
Daniel Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Você não aceita que eu
Te chame de amor
Diz que não sente nada por mim
Pra eu entender
Que é coisa da minha cabeça
Que é tudo ilusão
Mas na madrugada, na solidão,
Liga me dizendo preciso te ver

E quando me encontra
Seus olhos brilham demais
Incrível, mas sinto que em mim
Encontras a paz
Por mais que você queira ser
Só a minha amiga,
Seus olhos te traem,
Aos poucos te obrigam
A admitir que existe algo mais

Refrão
Amiga não beija assim
Me abraçando me envolvendo
Amiga não fica ofegante
Amiga não fica tremendo
Amiga não fica boba,
Quando recebe uma flor,




Amiga não é desse jeito
Amiga não faz amor

Por mais que você queira ser
No matter how much you try to be

Slowly they force you


A admitir que existe algo mais
To admit that there is something more.

Chorus


Amiga não beija assim
Friends don't kiss like this


Me abraçando me envolvendo
Hugging and enveloping me


Amiga não fica ofegante
Friends aren't breathless


Amiga não fica tremendo
Friends don't tremble


Amiga não fica boba,
Friends aren't foolish


Quando recebe uma flor,
When receiving a flower,


Amiga não é desse jeito
Friends don't act this way,


Amiga não faz amor
Friends don't make love.
