Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Interesting Facts ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lord almighty
I feel my temperature rising
Higher higher
It's burning through to my soul

Girl, girl, girl, girl
You gonna set me on fire, mmh
My brain is flaming
I don't know which way to go, yeah

Your kisses lift me higher
Like the sweet song of a choir
You light my morning sky
With burning love

Ooh, ooh, ooh
I feel my temperature rising
Help me, I'm flaming
I must be a hundred and nine
Burning, burning, burning
And nothing can cool me, yeah
I just might turn into smoke
But I feel fine

'Cause your kisses lift me higher
Like a sweet song of a choir
And you light my morning sky
With burning love

Ahh, ahh
Ahh, with burning love

It's coming closer
The flames are now licking my body
Won't you help me?
I feel like I'm slipping away
It's hard to breath
My chest is a-heaving, mmh, mmh
Lord have mercy
I'm burning a hole where I lay, yeah

Your kisses lift me higher
Like the sweet song of a choir
You light my morning sky
With burning love
With burning love
(Hunk, a hunk of burning love)

I'm just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love, ahh
A hunk, a hunk of burning love
A hunk, a hunk of burning love, ahh
A hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love, ahh




A hunk, a hunk of burning love, ha ha
I'm just a hunk, a hunk of burning

- Amor Ardente

Senhor Todo-poderoso
Eu sinto minha temperatura subindo
Mais alto e mais alto
Está queimando dentro de minha alma
Garota, garota, garota, garota
Você vai me incendiar
Meu cérebro está flamejando
Não sei qual caminho tomar
Seus beijos me elevam mais alto
Como uma doce canção de um coral
Você ilumina meu céu de manhã
Com amor ardente
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Eu sinto minha temperatura subindo
Me ajude, eu estou flamejando
Eu devo estar com 109 °F
Queimando, queimando, queimando
E nada pode me refrescar
Eu devo virar fumaça
Mas eu me sinto bem
Porque seus beijos me elevam mais alto
Como uma doce canção de um coral
E você ilumina meu céu de manhã
Com amor ardente
Está chegando perto
As chamas agora estão lambendo meu corpo
Você não vai me ajudar?
Eu sinto como se estivesse me distanciando
É difícil respirar
E meu peito está pesado
Senhor, tenha piedade
Estou queimando um buraco onde eu deito
Seus beijos me elevam mais alto
Como uma doce canção de um coral
Você ilumina meu céu de manhã
Com amor ardente
Com amor ardente
Eu sou apenas um pedaço, um pedaço de amor ardente
Apenas um pedaço, um pedaço de amor ardente
Um pedaço, um pedaço de amor ardente
Um pedaço, um pedaço de amor ardente
Um pedaço, um pedaço de amor ardente
Apenas um pedaço, um pedaço de amor ardente
