Encontro cunha moura fiadeira en Dormeá
Moura Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Vou, por abaixo
volto por arriba
fiando na miña roca
ghobernando a miña vida

Fía, miña nena
fía noite e día
se non fiaras tanto
non te querería

Vou, por arriba
volto por abaixo
levo un fuso aghochado
no meu refaixo

Ven, vente vindo
vente andando




teño unha madexiña
irémola debanando
