Olhos de Jabuticaba
Lulu Santos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
É um verso tão comum
É duro evitar o chavão
Quando se vive um
Eu me acho apaixonado
E você me pergunta e daí
Mas é que do meu ponto de vista
Bem no meu quintal
Outra eternidade em potencial
Novo espaçotempo
Outro carnaval
Onde tudo tá valendo
Tudo é natural
Olhos de Jabuticaba
Olhos de Jabuticaba
Olhos de Jabuticaba
Dentro deles eu me vi
Olhos de Jabuticaba
Olhos de Jabuticaba
Olhos de Jabuticaba
Por conta deles eu vi
