O Pedido
Roberta Sá Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Vim vim vim
Eu vim oi
Vim vim vim
Eu vim (bis)

Atravessei o mar
Vim trazer enfeite
Me vesti rainha

E dançar a festa
No avarandado da mata cerrinha
No avarandado da mata cerrinha

Vim vim vim
Eu vim oi
Vim vim vim
Eu vim (bis)

Na margem passeio cheguei
Vim trazer doce, ponche bom
Pra meu coração rodeador
Cair descanso na mata cerrinha
No avarandado da mata cerrinha

Vim vim vim
Eu vim oi
Vim vim vim
Eu vim

Atendi teu pedido e vim
Atendi teu pedido e vim
Atendi teu pedido e vim
Atendi teu pedido e vim

Vim vim vim
Eu vim oi

Vim eu vim oi
Vim eu vim oi
