Coração Vagabundo
Leila Pinheiro Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Meu coração não se cansa
De ter esperança
De um dia ser tudo o que quer
Meu coração de criança
Não é só a lembrança
De um vulto feliz de mulher
Que passou por meus sonhos
Sem dizer adeus
E fez dos olhos meus
Um chorar mais sem fim
Meu coração vagabundo
Quer guardar o mundo
Em mim
Meu coração vagabundo




Quer guardar o mundo
Em mim
