lyrics

QUASE 9
(Sergio Pereira)

Vou querer voltar, e vou caminar
Descalço para beira do mar
Sentir, o calor na alma
Molhando os meus pés na água fria que vem da terra.

Sentindo a maré trazendo você pra mim
Calor e paixão nas ondas do mar

Vou voltar, yemanja, chegando na
espuma do mar.
Vou correr e mergulhar, nas ondas do meu coração.

To pra chegar, no Quase 9 vamos se encontrar
Buscando o verde do mar
Cheguei no seu olhar

E vamos fugir pra aquela ilha do lado de lá
E de lá relembrar o amor que se passou
