Esta morena não sabe 00:12
O que o dia tem para lhe dar 00:13
Diz-me que tem namorado 00:15
Mas sem paixão no olhar 00:18
Tem um risinho pequeno 00:20
E que só dá de favor 00:23
Corpo com sede de quente 00:24
Mas que não sente o calor 00:26
Mas que não sente o calor 00:31
Esta morena não dança 00:38
Quando lhe mostro Jobim 00:40
Talvez não goste da letra 00:42
Talvez não goste de mim 00:44
Cabelo negro sem regra 00:46
Caindo em leve ombro nu 00:49
Feito de morno passado 00:51
E amor que nunca cegou 00:53
E amor que nunca cegou 00:58
Morena no fundo quer tempo pra ser mulher 01:09
Morena não sabe bem, mas eu no fundo sei 01:13
Que quando o véu lhe cai 01:18
Quando o calor lhe vem 01:20
Sempre que a noite quer 01:22
Sonha comigo também 01:25
Há sítios que ela não usa 01:36
Por não saber que estão cá 01:38
Há mares que ela não cruza 01:40
Por não ser eu a estar lá 01:43
É de mim que ela precisa 01:45
Pra lhe dar o que não quer 01:47
Talvez lhe mostre caminhos 01:49
Onde se queira perder 01:52
Onde se queira perder 01:56
Esta morena não chora 02:03
Com um fado negro de Oulman 02:05
Nem com um poema de O'neil 02:07
Na primeira luz da manhã 02:09
Sabe de tantos artistas 02:12
Canta-me letras de cor 02:14
Mas não lhe passam por dentro 02:16
Não lhes entende o sabor 02:18
Não lhes entende o sabor 02:23
Morena no fundo quer tempo pra ser mulher 02:34
Morena não sabe bem, mas eu no fundo sei 02:39
Que quando o véu lhe cai 02:43
Quando o calor lhe vem 02:46
Sempre que a noite quer 02:47
Sonha comigo também 02:50
02:53
Esta morena não corre quando a chamo pra mim 03:20
Esta morena não corre quando a chamo pra mim 03:24
Esta morena não corre quando a chamo pra mim 03:28
Esta morena não corre quando a chamo pra mim 03:33
Esta morena não corre quando a chamo pra mim 03:37
Esta morena não corre quando a chamo pra mim 03:42
Esta morena não corre quando a chamo pra mim 03:46
Esta morena não corre quando a chamo pra mim 03:51
Esta morena não corre quando a chamo pra mim 03:55
Esta morena não corre quando a chamo pra mim 03:59
Esta morena não corre quando a chamo pra mim 04:04
Esta morena não corre quando a chamo pra mim 04:08
Esta morena não corre quando a chamo pra mim 04:13
Esta morena não corre quando a chamo pra mim 04:17
Esta morena não corre quando a chamo pra mim 04:22
Esta morena não corre quando a chamo pra mim 04:26

[English]
This brunette doesn't know
What the day has to offer her
She tells me she has a boyfriend
But without passion in her eyes
She has a little smile
And only gives it as a favor
A body thirsty for warmth
But she doesn't feel the heat
But she doesn't feel the heat
This brunette doesn't dance
When I show her Jobim
Maybe she doesn't like the lyrics
Maybe she doesn't like me
Black hair without rules
Falling on a light bare shoulder
Made of warm past
And love that never blinded
And love that never blinded
Brunette deep down wants time to be a woman
Brunette doesn't know well, but I deep down know
That when the veil falls
When the heat comes to her
Whenever the night wants
She dreams of me too
There are places she doesn't use
For not knowing they are here
There are seas she doesn't cross
For I am not the one to be there
It's me she needs
To give her what she doesn't want
Maybe I'll show her paths
Where she wants to get lost
Where she wants to get lost
This brunette doesn't cry
With a black fado from Oulman
Nor with a poem from O'neil
In the first light of morning
She knows so many artists
Sings me lyrics by heart
But they don't pass through her
She doesn't understand their taste
She doesn't understand their taste
Brunette deep down wants time to be a woman
Brunette doesn't know well, but I deep down know
That when the veil falls
When the heat comes to her
Whenever the night wants
She dreams of me too
...
This brunette doesn't run when I call her to me
This brunette doesn't run when I call her to me
This brunette doesn't run when I call her to me
This brunette doesn't run when I call her to me
This brunette doesn't run when I call her to me
This brunette doesn't run when I call her to me
This brunette doesn't run when I call her to me
This brunette doesn't run when I call her to me
This brunette doesn't run when I call her to me
This brunette doesn't run when I call her to me
This brunette doesn't run when I call her to me
This brunette doesn't run when I call her to me
This brunette doesn't run when I call her to me
This brunette doesn't run when I call her to me
This brunette doesn't run when I call her to me
This brunette doesn't run when I call her to me
