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 much more than beautiful

In the dim light she woke me up

Smelling of tangerine blossom


I loved her and plunged

Into her jaguar-girl gaze

And sweetly drowned myself

In her crystalline waters


I loved her and plunged

Into her jaguar-girl gaze

And sweetly drowned myself

In her crystalline waters

In her waters


Then I dreamed that she was coming back

And this time even more than beautiful

In the dim light she caressed me

And her skin was so fine


When I woke up, my love was arriving

Was she a jaguar 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 than beautiful

In the dim light she caressed me

And her skin was so fine


When I woke up, my love was arriving

Was she a jaguar or a girl?

Arriving like this, in the early morning

Smelling of tangerine blossom


When I woke up, my love was arriving

Was she a jaguar or a girl?

Arriving like this, in the early morning

Smelling of tangerine blossom

Smelling of blossom
