Full lyrics
Amor covarde, que morde, que arde
Capela magra, metade de mim
A madrugada se arrasta, tão lenta assim
Dor, dor, dor
Dor, dor, dor
Moça bonita, novilha tão rara
Não há quem valha metade de mim
A dor do amor, navalhada que arde assim
Dor, dor, dor
É dor, dor, dor
Dor, dor, dor
Estrela d'alva, pedaço de Lua
A pele nua, cheirando a jasmim
Boca cereja, bandeja de prata, do-in
Dor, dor, dor
É dor, dor, dor, dor
Moça bonita, novilha tão rara
Não há quem valha metade de mim
Nascemos sós, só seremos serenos no fim
Dor, dor, dor,
Dor, dor, dor, dor, dor, dor, dor
Amor covarde, que morde, que arde
Capela magra, metade de mim
A madrugada se arrasta, tão lenta assim
Dor, dor, dor
Dor, dor, dor
Moça bonita, novilha tão rara
Não há quem valha metade de mim
A dor do amor, navalhada que arde assim
Dor, dor, dor
É dor, dor, dor
Dor, dor, dor
Dor, dor, dor, dor
Estrela d'alva, pedaço de Lua
A pele nua, cheirando a jasmim
Boca cereja, bandeja de prata, do-in
Dor, dor, dor
Eu disse dor, dor, dor
Moça bonita, novilha tão rara
Não há quem valha metade de mim
Nascemos sós, só seremos serenos no fim
Translation
Cowardly love, that bites, that burns
Thin chapel, half of me
The dawn drags on, so slow like this
Pain, pain, pain
Pain, pain, pain
Pretty girl, such a rare heifer
There is no one worth half of me
The pain of love, a razor that burns like this
Pain, pain, pain
It's pain, pain, pain
Pain, pain, pain
Mornig star, piece of Moon
Naked skin, smelling of jasmine
Cherry mouth, silver tray, do-in
Pain, pain, pain
It's pain, pain, pain, pain
Pretty girl, such a rare heifer
There is no one worth half of me
We are born alone, we will only be serene in the end
Pain, pain, pain
Pain, pain, pain, pain, pain, pain, pain
Cowardly love, that bites, that burns
Thin chapel, half of me
The dawn drags on, so slow like this
Pain, pain, pain
Pain, pain, pain
Pretty girl, such a rare heifer
There is no one worth half of me
The pain of love, a razor that burns like this
Pain, pain, pain
It's pain, pain, pain
Pain, pain, pain
Pain, pain, pain, pain
Mornig star, piece of Moon
Naked skin, smelling of jasmine
Cherry mouth, silver tray, do-in
Pain, pain, pain
I said pain, pain, pain
Pretty girl, such a rare heifer
There is no one worth half of me
We are born alone, we will only be serene in the end
