Batendo a Porta
Diogo Nogueira Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Como é que vai? Saúde boa?
Não foi à toa que você mudou daqui pra melhorar
Mas pode entrar, a casa é sua
E não repare a casa humilde
Que você trocou por um solar
Pode sentar, fique à vontade
Te deu saudade de um amor
Que, infelizmente, já não há
Pode falar, pode sofrer, pode chorar
Porque agora você não me ganha
Eu conheço essa manha
E não vou me curvar mais
Pode tentar, pode me olhar, pode odiar




E pode até sair batendo a porta
Que "inês já é morta" do lado de cá.
