Chita Fina
Roberta Sá Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Você de saia rodada, menina, êê
Toda largada nessa chita fina, êá
Bendita luz essa que alumia
A sua guia, o seu colar de conta
Dona menina não saia da roda
Você quando samba chove flor no mar
Com tanta flor você fica cheirosa
Parece rosa
Da roseira de Sinhá

Ô roda, menina de chita
Bonita me deixa rodar
Quem sabe combina da gente combinar (2x)

Você no mar da Bahia
Com esse olhar triunfante
Na festa da romaria
Do Senhor dos navegantes
Todo mundo admira
Seu samba de pé no chão




E em cada volta que dá, ô menina
Roda meu coração
