Full lyrics
Eu fui falar com ela
Na casa dela
Pois não aguentei vê-la
Esperando na janela
Coração bateu forte
E o peito apertou
Quando cheguei pertinho
E vi que era o meu amor!
Coração bateu forte
E o peito apertou
Quando cheguei pertinho
E vi que era o meu amor!
De emoção as pernas tremularam
O corpo amoleceu, meu juízo pirou!
Pois não sabia que ali morava
Aquela que eu tanto gostava
E um dia me deixou!
Pois não sabia que ali morava
Aquela que eu tanto gostava
E um dia me deixou!
Meu Deus do céu
Que mundo tão pequeno
Aquele corpo moreno em nada mudou!
Pele macia, cheirosa, aveludada
Que jamais troco por nada
Que a natureza criou!
Pele macia, cheirosa, aveludada
Que jamais troco por nada
Que a natureza criou!
Translation
I went to talk to her
At her house
Because I couldn't bear to see her
Waiting at the window
My heart beat strong
And my chest tightened
When I got close
And saw it was my love!
My heart beat strong
And my chest tightened
When I got close
And saw it was my love!
From emotion my legs trembled
My body softened, my mind went wild!
Because I didn't know that she lived there
The one I loved so much
And who one day left me!
Because I didn't know that she lived there
The one I loved so much
And who one day left me!
My God in heaven
What a small world
That tanned body hadn't changed at all!
Soft, fragrant, velvety skin
That I would never trade for anything
That nature created!
Soft, fragrant, velvety skin
That I would never trade for anything
That nature created!
