Andei Só – Bilingual Lyrics Portuguese/English
Lyrics & Translation
A little about the new ideas from the places I've traveled
If she believes in my story, which is solid and comes from the heart
I will spread the most beautiful cloth made on the island of Madagascar
A Bob, a Djavan, a Jimmy on the guitar, with the humility of someone who knows where they want to go
I noticed the flower on her dress, only a warrior with a good aura deserves
And she stopped, looked, smiled, gave me a kiss, and left
I didn't see the girl again, but I have my harmonica to comfort me, yeah yeah oh yeah yeah
I walked alone through the night
I sang a reggae for the street dogs, I
I walked alone through the night
I sang a verse of that old samba to the moon
I walked alone through the night
I need to show her that I deserve her time to say
A little about the new ideas from the places I've traveled
If she believes in my story, which is crazy but not nonsense, no
I will spread the most beautiful cloth made on the island of Madagascar
A Bob, a Djavan, a Jimmy on the guitar, with the humility of someone who knows where they want to go
I noticed the flower on her dress, only a warrior with a good aura deserves
And she stopped, looked, smiled, gave me a kiss, and left
I didn't see the girl again, but I have my harmonica to comfort me, yeah yeah oh yeah yeah
I walked alone through the night
I sang a reggae for the street dogs, I
I walked alone through the night
I sang a verse of that old samba to the moon
I walked alone through the night
It's all good, life goes on, I
I walked alone through the night
