A Vida Do Viajante
José Augusto Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Minha vida é andar por esse País
Pra ver se um dia descanso feliz
Guardando as recordações
Das terras onde passei
Andando pelos sertões
E dos amigos que lá deixei

Chuva e sol
Poeira e carvão
Longe de casa, sigo o roteiro
Mais uma estação
E alegria no coração

Minha vida é andar por esse País
Pra ver se um dia descanso feliz
Guardando as recordações
Das terras onde passei
Andando pelos sertões
E dos amigos que lá deixei

Mar e terra
Inverno e verão
Mostro o sorriso
Mostro a alegria




Mas eu mesmo não
E a saudade no coração
