lyrics

AMAZING GRACE – OLHO D’ÁGUA – FLY AWAY

Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I’m found
Was blind, but now I see

Aqui nessa casa não tem um duelo
Que bata o martelo do jeito que eu quero
Pra ela sambar, ê ê beira do rio
Oi! Beira do mar

Joguei uma pedra no lago
Estou aqui há uma hora
Enchendo o lago de pedras
E olhando p’ra senhora

Joguei outra pedra no lago
Por seu peso foi ao chão
Mais veloz seria a queda
Se fosse o meu coração

Joguei minha terceira pedra
Que furou o olho d’água
Enquanto ela foi ao fundo
Afundei na minha mágoa

Joguei mais uma pedra no lago
Por um triz não mata um peixe
Se até ele foi feliz
Peço-lhe que não me deixe
(não me deixe não)

Joguei minha última pedra
Que jogou água pra fora
Agora me dê um beijo
Ou então, jogo a senhora

One fine morning
When my life is over I’ll fly away
When I die, hallelujah, by and by
I’ll fly away

Oh I’ll fly away, oh glory I’ll fly away
When I die, hallelujah, by and by
I’ll fly away
