Full lyrics
Era manhã cedinho
Dia de chuva no sertão
Comida quente no prato
Pra se comer
Um pingo d’água no chão
Era espaço querendo se preencher
Parede branca selada
Esperando a tinta
Era uma tinta na tela
Pra embelezar
Era uma cena, um aceno, uma sina
Rumo da rima no modo de se amar
Deixa de cabeça dura minha nega
Desajuizada assim tá por ver
Tá de cabeça virada
Por um errinho de nada
A gente pode se perder
Deixa dessa teimosia por Deus
Não precisa endurecer tanto assim
Eu provo por “a” mais “b”
Que eu não vivo sem você
E nem você sem mim
Translation
It was early morning
A rainy day in the sertão
Hot food on the plate
To be eaten
A drop of water on the ground
It was space wanting to be filled
Sealed white wall
Waiting for the paint
It was paint on the canvas
To beautify
It was a scene, a wave, a destiny
The path of rhyme in the way of loving
Stop being stubborn, my darling
Being so unreasonable, you'll see
You're upset
For a tiny mistake
We could lose each other
Stop this stubbornness, for God's sake
You don't need to be so hard
I'll prove it beyond a doubt
That I can't live without you
And neither can you without me
