tu
Gal Costa Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Teu olhar é um sonho azul
Teu sorriso uma promessa louca
Teus lábios duas jóias de coral
No engaste sensual de sua boca
O mais lindo luar: tu
A grandeza do mar: tu
Só te quero a ti
Só te sinto a ti
Só palpito por ti




És minha vida, querida.
