Apesar De Cigano
Jorge Vercillo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Andei pelo mundo procurando Um grande amor
Zum-zum-zum de abelha
Farejando o mel da flor
E muitas mulheres foram flores Nesse meu jardim
Mas não adiantou Você estava em mim

Amei em Pequim, em Jerusalém, em Amsterdã
Mas o meu divã é tua pele Tupi, Guaraná, Guarani
Cheguei em Paris
De lá pude ver Toda tua luz
Minha Vera Cruz
Eu te amo e apesar de cigano
Só penso em você
A flor que despenca do seu galho morre de saudade da raiz (ei yeh)
Minha Vera Cruz, minha vida
Vera Cruz, minha vida, meu amor

Ladies e Madonas
Me entregaram os corações
E eu meio pirata naveguei nessas paixões
Mas tua luz de santa me acompanha aonde quer que eu vá
Cheguei em Bagdá, você ainda estava em mim

Amei em Pequim, em Jerusalém, em Amsterdã
Mas o meu divã é tua pele Tupi, Guaraná, Guarani
Cheguei em Paris cheguei em Paris
De lá pude ver toda tua luz
Minha Vera Cruz
Eu te amo e apesar de cigano
Só penso em você

Nossos curumins nossos butequins
Salve mãe Oxum
Salve deus Tupã
Chico Mendes, zumbi, sapaim, Raoni
Saci-pererê (Saci-pererê)
Peixe com dendê (Peixe com dendê)
Carne com fubá
Aie-ie Babá
Saravá, sucuri, sarará, cerêre





Amei em Pequim, em Jerusalém, em Amsterdã
Mas o meu divã
