Balanço Zona Sul
Wilson Simonal Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Balança toda pra andar
Balança até pra falar
Balança tanto
Que já balançou meu coração

Balance mesmo que é bom
Do Leme até o Leblon
E vai juntando um punhado de gente
Que sofre com seu andar

Mas ande bem devagar
Que é pra não se cansar
Vai caminhando balan
Balançando sem parar

Balance os cabelos seus
Balance cai mas não cai




E se cair vai caindo, caindo
Nos braços meus
