Madalena
Maria Tania Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, Madalena
O meu peito percebeu
Que o mar é uma gota
Comparado ao pranto meu

Fique certa
Quando o nosso amor desperta
Logo o sol se desespera
E se esconde lá na serra

Oh, Madalena
O que é meu não se divide
Nem tão pouco se admite
Quem do nosso amor duvide

Até a lua
Se arrisca num palpite
Que o nosso amor existe
Forte ou fraco
Alegre ou triste

Oh, Madalena
O meu peito percebeu
Que o mar é uma gota
Comparado ao pranto meu

Fique certa
Quando o nosso amor desperta
Logo o sol se desespera
E se esconde lá na serra

Oh, Madalena
O que é meu não se divide
Nem tão pouco se admite
Quem do nosso amor duvide

Até a lua
Se arrisca num palpite
Que o nosso amor existe
Forte ou fraco
Alegre ou triste

Oh, Madalena
Oh, Madalena
Oh, Madalena
Oh, Madalena

Madalena, Madalena

Oh Ma, oh Madá
Oh Madalê Lê Lê Lê Lê Lena
Oh Ma, oh Madá
Oh Madalê Lê Lê Lê Lê Lena

Oh Ma, oh Madá
Oh Madalê Lê Lê Lê Lê Lena




Oh Ma, oh Madá
Oh Madalê Lê Lê Lê Lê Lena
