Pretinha
Marcelo Camelo Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ahh.. Preta, pretinha
Mania minha de viver
Onde você for eu
E todo meu gosto
Disposto até o fim eu tô

Onde você for
Lá... é onde eu quero estar

Pra a gente se perder amor
Nesse doce tanto faz

Tá tudo bem
Que esse amor só me faz bem
Eu não perco mais meu tempo
Nem me deixo com o vento
Que derruba

Tudo normal
Eu te quero, espero
E deixo os meus segredos
E faço nosso, o meu e o seu lugar

Ahh... Ah ha ha...

Dona desse eu
Onde você for eu...
E todo meu gosto
Disposto até o fim eu tô

Onde você for
Lá... é onde eu quero estar

Pra a gente se perder amor
Nesse doce tanto faz

The lines "Mania minha de viver" and "Dona desse eu" indicate that his love for her is all-consuming and defines his very existence. The chorus repeats the sentiment that wherever Preta goes, Camelo wants to be there, even if it means getting lost in the sweetness of it all.
