Quero-quero

Who hasn't taken a basin bath
Is not knowledgeable
That hot water quickly cools
Don't go away

You live like the swallows
Moving, moving
See if you don't want to land on mine
To stop running away, stop running away
Why run away so much

You've had control over me since the day
The bumba passed by
Gracefully took everything I had
And gave it to the ox to lick

Dressed in flowers, jewelry
Umbanda visual
Rubbed in the neighbor's face
All this way of being

I went to the church's novena
I asked for my love
Then dried meat with flour
At Zé Nestor's house
A bit of chat

And Zé informed me that Júlia was born
Poor mother, she's so young
And they say I'm the father
How funny without grace, yuck!

It's funny, disguise it and get out of here
I entered through the door of revelry
And saw a corridor
That leads to the tower of joy

Where your love lives
From there with wings of a swallow
Flies away, flies away
See if you don't want to land on mine

To stop running away, stop running away
Why run away so much
I see the Southern Lapwing singing
There for both of us

And every window will open
Thinking of you
And longing paints the sky crimson
With the water from washing the red

And the day awakens with a bad mood
To see all help wasted
Don't go away
Stay in the name of the law
Forever where I can reach you

If you fly away
How funny without grace, yuck!
It's funny, disguise it and get out of here
