Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ah, insensatez que você fez
Coração mais sem cuidado
Fez chorar de dor o seu amor
Um amor tão delicado

Ah, porque você foi fraco assim
Assim tão desalmado
Ah, meu coração quem nunca amou

Não merece ser amado

Ah, porque você foi fraco assim
Assim tão desalmado
Ah, meu coração quem nunca amou
Não merece ser amado

Vai meu coração pede perdão
Usa só sinceridade
Quem semeia vento, diz a razão
Colhe sempre tempestade

Vai meu coração pede perdão
Perdão apaixonado

Vai porque quem não, pede perdão
Não é nunca perdoado
