Full lyrics
Eu sempre andei descalço
No encalço dessa menina
E a sola dos meus passos
Tem a pele muito fina
Eu sempre olhei nos olhos
Bem no fundo, nas retinas
E a menina dos olhos
Me mata, me alucina
Eu sempre andei sozinho
A mão esquerda vazia
A mão direita fechada
Sem medo por garantia
De encontrar quem me ama
Na hora que me odeia
Com esse punhal de prata
Brilhando na lua cheia
Eu sendo mouro
Sou um cigano
Eu rasgo oceano
Eu quebro esse mar
Morena, ê
Translation
I've always walked barefoot
Following this girl
And the soles of my feet
Have very delicate skin
I've always looked into her eyes
Deep down, into her retinas
And the apple of her eyes
Kills me, drives me crazy
I've always walked alone
My left hand empty
My right hand closed
Fearless, for safety
From finding someone who loves me
At the moment they hate me
With this silver dagger
Shining in the full moon
Me being a Moor
I'm a gypsy
I tear through the ocean
I break this sea
Brunette, hey
