Full lyrics
Aquela roseira quebrada
Pra não crescer seu caminho
Ó meu amor que espante
Lá vem verde se abrindo
Com muito mais rosas nos galhos
E muito mais ponta de espinho
Por ser imã do meu canto
Por não saber ser cativa
Quebrou a barragem que a força impôs
Pra se derramar mais bonita
Translation
That broken rose bush
So it wouldn't grow in your path
Oh, my love, may it ward off
Here comes the green opening up
With many more roses on the branches
And many more sharp thorns
For being the magnet of my song
For not knowing how to be captive
It broke the dam that force imposed
To spill out even more beautiful
