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
On the trail of that girl
And the soles of my steps
Have very thin skin
I've always looked into her eyes
Deep down, into her retinas
And the apple of her eye
Kills me, hallucinates me
I've always walked alone
My left hand empty
My right hand closed
Without fear for guarantee
Of finding who loves me
In the hour that hates me
With this silver dagger
Shining in the full moon
I being a Moor
I am a gypsy
I tear the ocean
I break this sea
Brunette, hey
