Até o Redentor
Nana Caymmi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Não pode ser o lugar da dor
Vou procurar e vou achar aonde for
Eu vou até o Redentor
Onde a saudade escondeu o meu amor
Não pode ser o lugar da dor
Vou procurar e vou achar aonde for
Você saiu da cidade
Você mudou de Estado
Você passou
Parece que o vento levou
Meu coração sofre e arde
Perdeu a felicidade
Porque a saudade
Escondeu o meu amor
Onde a saudade escondeu o meu amor
Não pode ser o lugar da dor
Vou procurar e vou achar aonde for
Eu vou até o Redentor
Você saiu da cidade
Você mudou de Estado
Você passou
Parece que o vento levou
Meu coração sofre e arde
Perdeu a felicidade
Porque a saudade
Escondeu o meu amor
