Soneto Do Teu Corpo
Leoni Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Como quem sai sem rumo prá viagem.
Vou te cruzar sem mapa nem bagagem,
Quero inventar a estrada enquanto avanço.
Beijo teus pés, me perco entre teus dedos.
Luzes ao norte, pernas são estradas
Onde meus lábios correm a madrugada
Como em teus bosques. bebo nos teus rios.
Entre teus montes, vales escondidos.
Faço fogueiras, choro, canto e danço.
Línguas de lua varrem tua nuca.
Línguas de sol percorrem tuas ruas.
Juro beijar teu corpo sem descanso
