Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Quantas vezes eu dormi no teu colo
Ouvindo o berro do gado no curral
Minha Morena eu fiz essa cantilena
Pra ver se consigo sarar esse mal
Era tão bonita tua voz pelo sereno
Só o que fica da saudade é o desatino
E eu feito um menino teu amor a procurar...
Quantas vezes eu dormi no teu colo
Ouvindo o berro do gado no curral
Minha Morena eu fiz essa cantilena
Pra ver se consigo sarar esse mal
Era tão bonita tua voz pelo sereno
Era que nem veneno, cachoeira à me afogar
Só o que fica da saudade é o desatino
E eu feito um menino teu amor a procurar...
