lyrics
FLECHA ( ARROW)
Portuguese Lyrics with English Translation
Vem meu anjo me pegar de jeito
seu sorriso lindo me ganhou
nesse jogo eu vou
vem brincar de amor
caboclo, tempero carioca
ai ai ai... teu sabor
Vem meu guia, teu Rio de Janeiro
redescubro em teu olhar certeiro
clichê, que ironia
se faz verdadeiro
ama carnaval com futebol
me rendo samba-enredo
Flecha de Oxossi
centauro, guerreiro
menino, primeiro
artilheiro desse amor
bola cruzada na área
ele cria a jogada
na ginga, na raça, com valor
Flecha de Oxossi
centauro, guerreiro
menino, primeiro
artilheiro desse amor
vai na batalha
madruga, trabalha, labuta
Tijuca te aguarda vencedor
Já que estamos juntos de passagem
que seja bonita essa viagem
sou sua menina, o tempo que for
freeway, estrada livre
Perth City de um amor
ARROW - TRANSLATION
Come my angel, make it with me
your beautiful smile won me
to this game I’ll go
let’s play love
creole, Rio-born flavor
m m m ... your taste
Come my guide, your Rio de Janeiro
I rediscover in your focused gaze
cliché, what an irony
makes itself true
love’s carnival with soccer
I surrender, carnival samba
Arrow of Oxossi
centaur, warrior
boy, first
top scorer of this love
ball crossed in goal square
he creates the move
with rhythm, with mastery, with respect
Arrow of Oxossi
centaur, warrior
boy, first
top scorer of this love
hard worker
rises early, works, labours
Tijuca awaits the winner
Since we are together in passing
may it be a beautiful trip
I'm your girl, for as long as I am
freeway, free road
Perth City of this love
