Full lyrics
Oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh
Oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh
Oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh
Oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh
Beija flor, me sinto nessa hora
Quando vejo retrato na parede
Do amor que faz sentir a sede
Que não mato se bebo em outra flora
Fico ali pairando até a aurora
Quem nem vejo o dia clarear
Outra noite acordado a sonhar
E a esperança cruel a insistir
De que vale uma cama pra dormir
Se a saudade não deixa cochilar
Outra noite acordado a sonhar
E a esperança cruel a insistir
De que vale uma cama pra dormir
Se a saudade não deixa cochilar
Translation
Oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh
Oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh
Oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh
Oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh
Hummingbird, I feel at this moment
When I see a picture on the wall
Of the love that makes me feel the thirst
Which I don't quench if I drink from another flora
I stay there hovering until dawn
So much so that I don't even see the day break
Another night awake dreaming
And cruel hope insisting
What's the use of a bed to sleep
If saudade doesn't let me doze off
Another night awake dreaming
And cruel hope insisting
What's the use of a bed to sleep
If saudade doesn't let me doze off
