Full lyrics
Hoje eu sonhei que ela voltava
E vinha muito mais que linda
À meia-luz me acordava
Cheirando à flor de tangerina
Eu lhe amava e mergulhava
No seu olhar de onça-menina
E docemente me afogava
Em suas águas cristalinas
Eu lhe amava e mergulhava
No seu olhar de onça-menina
E docemente me afogava
Em suas águas cristalinas
Em suas águas
Depois sonhei que ela voltava
E dessa vez bem mais que linda
À meia-luz me afagava
E sua pele era tão fina
Quando acordei, meu bem chegava
Seria onça ou menina?
Chegar assim, de madrugada
Cheirando à flor de tangerina
Cheirando à flor
Depois sonhei que ela voltava
E dessa vez bem mais que linda
À meia-luz me afagava
E sua pele era tão fina
Quando acordei, meu bem chegava
Seria onça ou menina?
Chegar assim, de madrugada
Cheirando à flor de tangerina
Quando acordei, meu bem chegava
Seria onça ou menina?
Chegar assim, de madrugada
Cheirando à flor de tangerina
Cheirando à flor
Translation
Today I dreamed that she was coming back
And she was more than beautiful
She woke me up in the dim light
Smelling of tangerine blossom
I loved her and dove deep
Into her wild-kitten eyes
And sweetly I drowned myself
In her crystal-clear waters
I loved her and dove deep
Into her wild-kitten eyes
And sweetly I drowned myself
In her crystal-clear waters
In her waters
Then I dreamed that she was coming back
And this time even more beautiful
She caressed me in the dim light
And her skin was so delicate
When I woke up, my darling arrived
Was she a wildcat or a girl?
Arriving like this, in the early morning
Smelling of tangerine blossom
Smelling of blossom
Then I dreamed that she was coming back
And this time even more beautiful
She caressed me in the dim light
And her skin was so delicate
When I woke up, my darling arrived
Was she a wildcat or a girl?
Arriving like this, in the early morning
Smelling of tangerine blossom
When I woke up, my darling arrived
Was she a wildcat or a girl?
Arriving like this, in the early morning
Smelling of tangerine blossom
Smelling of blossom
