Quisera
Dona Ivone Lara Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Quisera não lembrar
O que me faz chorar
Foi tanta ingratidão
Que esta chaga em meu peito
Quase me tira a razão

Pra cicatrizar
O remédio é cantar
Benditos sons que não deixam
Que as mágoas e queixas
Me venham matar

Mas sei lá
Quem não é sofredor
Não viveu um grande amor
Não sentiu essa chama na alma
Que agita e acalma
Emoção, ilusão, alegria e dor

Ânsia do grande prazer
Pra essa vida ter valor
Necessário é amar, ser amado
Ou até desprezado por um falso amor
