Amuleto Protetor
Wanessa Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Só você
Pode despertar tanta emoção,
É como chuva fresca,
Lava a alma e o coração.
Por você
Tive força pra me levantar.
Os erros do passado
Não existem do seu lado,

Você conhece o meu desejo...
Me faz voar só com um beijo,
Vira o mundo pelo avesso
Pra me fazer feliz.

Você entrou na minha vida sem querer,
Uma paixão sob medida, eu e você.
Encontrei meu amuleto
Protetor, oh, oh!
O mel da tua boca não me deixa escapar.
Agora eu sei pra quem eu quero me entregar,
Tão perfeito e verdadeiro é o nosso amor, oh, oh!

É você
A luz que vai me conduzir.
Se eu já tenho o teu sorriso,
O que mais posso pedir?
Só pra mim
Deus fez uma revelação;
Com o toque do destino
Pôs você no meu caminho.
Você conhece o meu desejo...
Me faz voar só com um beijo.
Vem ficar comigo!
Tuas mãos, meu abrigo;
Um sopro divino

Querer prometido
Pra sempre eu quero te amar.
