Full lyrics

Caminheiro sem destino

O destino é Deus quem dá

Sempre em paz comigo mesmo

Coração só pra cantar

Um xamego hoje aqui

Amanhã, um dengo acolá

E o pó das estrada apagando

Os xodós que eu tive por lá

Foi entonce que ela surgiu

Tava escrito Orélia chegar


Orélia, ai, ai, Orélia

Só de olhar teu olhar magneto

Vi logo o meu fim

Que paixão, foi um choque da peste

Meu corpo tremeu que nem curumim


Orélia, ai, ai, Orélia

Ai, bichinha, se tu me deixar

Vai ser muito ruim

Faço arte no leste e no oeste

No sul, no nordeste

Dou cabo de mim

Translation

Wanderer without destiny

Destiny is given by God

Always at peace with myself

A heart just for singing

A xamego today here

Tomorrow, a dengo there

And the dust of the road erasing

The xodós I had there

It was then that she appeared

It was written for Orélia to arrive


Orélia, oh, oh, Orélia

Just by looking at your magnetic gaze

I immediately saw my end

What a passion, it was a hell of a shock

My body trembled like a curumim


Orélia, oh, oh, Orélia

Oh, bichinha, if you leave me

It will be very bad

I'll make trouble in the east and in the west

In the south, in the northeast

I'll put an end to myself
