Anjo do amor
Nana Caymmi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Quero chorar porque te amei demais
Quero morrer porque me deste a vida

Será que nunca, meu amor, hei de ter paz
Será que tudo que há em mim
Só quer sentir saudade

E já nem sei o que vai ser de mim
Tudo me diz que amar será meu fim

Que desespero traz o amor
Eu nem sabia o que era o amor
Agora sei por que não sou feliz

Quero chorar porque te amei demais
Quero morrer porque me deste a vida

Será que nunca, meu amor, hei de ter paz
Será que tudo que há em mim
Só quer sentir saudade

E já nem sei o que vai ser de mim
Tudo me diz que amar será meu fim

Que desespero traz o amor




Eu nem sabia o que era o amor
Agora sei por que não sou feliz
