Motim
Wolf Borges Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Morena tu não tens pena
Tu não tens asa
Mas voa em mim
Morena esquece jóias
No meu banheiro
Morena tu não tens medo
De ser notícia de folhetim
Morena deixa recado
No meu espelho
Dentro de mim
Volta, cravo, crivo, veia
Volta, raio, fica, deita
Morena cê marca passo
Me faz capacho
E pisa em mim
Morena me faz esquema
Me faz projeto
seu estopim
Morena me deixa rastros
No meu dilema
em tudo enfim
Morena me envolve em crime
Me envolve em creme
Gera motim
