Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Corra não pare, não pense demais
Repare essas velas no cais
Que a vida é cigana
É caravana
É pedra de gelo ao sol
Degelou teus olhos tão sós
Corra não pare, não pense demais
Repare essas velas no cais
Que a vida é cigana
É caravana
É pedra de gelo ao sol
Degelou teus olhos tão sós
Num mar de água clara, clara
(Laiá, la, la, la, lala hei)
Corra não pare, não pense demais
Repare essas velas no cais
Que a vida é cigana
É caravana
É pedra de gelo ao sol
Degelou teus olhos tão sós
Num mar de água clara, clara
(Laiá, la, la, la, lala hei)
