Portuguese

So Quero Un Xodo

Que falta eu sinto de um bem
Que falta me faz um xodó
Mas como eu não tenho ninguém
Eu levo a vida assim tão só
Eu só quero um amor
Que acabe o meu sofrer
Um xodó pra mim
Do meu jeito assim
Que alegre o meu viver

English

I only want a love

How I miss to have a sweetheart
How I miss to have a love
As I do not possess nobody
I keep living my life so lonely like this
I only want a love,
the one able to cease my suffering
the one to be like the way I am
the one able to cheer up my life


Author's comment: bem = a precious thing ** xodó = love ** jeito = the way you are/ your nature
