The Lyrics
[Verse]
Na bruma leve das paixões que vêm de dentro
Tu vens chegando, pra brincar no meu quintal
No teu cavalo, peito nu, cabelo ao vento
E o Sol, quarando nossas roupas no varal
[Bridge]
Tu vens, tu vens
Eu já escuto os teus sinais
Tu vens, tu vens
Eu já escuto os teus sinais
[Chorus]
A voz do anjo sussurrou no meu ouvido
Eu não duvido, já escuto os teus sinais
Que tu virias, numa manhã de domingo
Eu te anuncio nos sinos das catedrais
[Bridge]
Tu vens, tu vens
Eu já escuto os teus sinais
Tu vens, tu vens
Eu já escuto os teus sinais
