Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
O tanto que eu amo você
Daria pra iluminar esse mundo que anda tão estranho
Te ver sempre tentando entender
Deixando mais fácil viver
Me ouvindo chorar e me olhando com olhos de jabuticaba
Você é a pessoa que eu mais quero ver
Catarina, como eu te explico
Talvez nessa vida seja eu e você
E se eu me afastar sem saber
Desse mundo por medo de ser
Catarina, com esse seu jeito 'cê sempre me ganha
Te empresto meus laços é só devolver
Catarina, se eu pudesse explicar
Meu sorriso em te ver me amar
Daria pra escrever poemas daqueles
Que vale até foto postar
E se a situação piorar
Se a tristeza vier e quiser ficar
A gente ri de uma piada que só faz sentido pra nós
E te empresto vestidos azuis
Em troca só quero sua luz
Catarina, cura esse medo
Que eu tenho de nunca ser suficiente
Eu quero suas fotos de céu
Suas ideias em tinta e papel
Catarina se você soubesse que
O que você vê em mim eu vejo também
Mas eu vejo em você
Catarina, eu amo suas cores, seu mar
Eu amo te ouvir falar
Se eu pudesse te dava as flores
E jardins secretos pra você cuidar
E quando esse reino for seu
Quando o futuro chegar
Pra sempre vou estar aqui
Se nos anos 2000 você quiser cantar
