Agora Só Falta Você
Maria Rita Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
E fazer tudo o que eu queria fazer
Me libertei daquela vida vulgar
Que eu levava estando junto a você
E em tudo o que eu faço
Existe um porquê
Eu sei que eu nasci
Sei que eu nasci pra saber
E fui andando sem pensar em voltar
E sem ligar pro que me aconteceu
Um belo dia vou lhe telefonar
Pra lhe dizer que aquele sonho cresceu
No are que eu respiro
Eu sinto prazer
De ser quem eu sou
De estar onde estou
Agora só falta você

Um belo dia resolvi mudar
One fine day, I decided to make a change
E fazer tudo o que eu queria fazer
And do everything I wanted to do
