Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Você se pintou
Marina, você faça tudo
Mas faça um favor
Não pinte esse rosto que eu gosto
Que eu gosto, e é só meu
Marina, você já é bonita
Já me aborreci, me zanguei
Já não posso falar
E quando eu me zango, Marina
Não sei perdoar
Eu já desculpei tanta coisa
Você não arranjava outro igual
Desculpe, morena Marina
Mas eu tô de mal
(Eu tô de mal com você)
Eu tô de mal
(Eu tô de mal com você)
Eu tô de mal
(Eu tô de mal com você)
Marina, ai ai ai
(Eu tô de mal com você)
Morena
(Eu tô de mal com você)
Uh uh uh uh
(Eu tô de mal com você)
Eu tô de mal
(Eu tô de mal com você)
Eu tô de mal
(Eu tô de mal)
