MEU LUGAR (MY PLACE)
Portuguese Lyrics with English Translation
Vim de lá, de onde eu sei
e me lembro de onde quero chegar
ao ouvir o som
da minha tribo, vou lá estar
Vim de lá de onde eu sei
minha história carrego no olhar, só eu sei
bom é rir, melhor chorar
quando o amor é demais
tem que desaguar
Lá, sempre lá
Lá, eu vou ficar
me entregar, eu não
lá é meu lugar
antes de qualquer lugar
coração
La lalalaia ...
lá é meu lugar
antes de qualquer lugar
coração
MY PLACE - TRANSLATION
I came from there, from where I know
and I remember where I want to go
by listening to the sound
of my tribe, I will be there
I came from there, from where I know
my history I carry in my gaze, only I know
it’s good to laugh, it’s better to cry
when love is too much
it has to overflow
There, always there
There, I'll stay
surrender, I will not
there, is my place
before any other
the heart
La lalalaia ...
there, is my place
before any other
the heart
