Cidade Nova
Edú Lobo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Longe do tempo e dos sonhos
Longe do luar
Hoje, venho de outra terra
Da cidade nova
Da beira do mar
Nem sei mais
Nem sei mais
Dos sonhos que pensei
Não quero me lembrar
De tantas noites que perdi
Pelos caminhos de onde eu vim
De longe eu vim
Na viração
No vento nem percebi
Nos teus olhos a solidão
O tempo
Mas eu sei
Que ainda volta a clarear
Pra te fazer mais feliz,só
Só, pra te alegrar
É, só
Só pra te alegrar
