Charme do mundo
Marina Lima Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Eu tenho febre, eu sei
É um fogo leve que eu peguei
Do mar, ou de amar, não sei
Mas deve ser da idade
Acho que o mundo faz charme

E que ele sabe como encantar
Por isso sou levada, e vou

Nessa magia de verdade

O fato é que sou sua amiga,
Ele me intriga demais
É um mundo tão novo
Que mundo mais louco,
Até mais que eu

É febre, amor,
E eu quero mais,
Tudo o que quero,

Sério,
É todo esse mistério
