Lyrics of Verbos Do Amor - Gal Costa

Verbos Do Amor (original)

E se eu te telefonar
Se mandar te buscar
Der o braço a torcer
Sei que irias ganhar
E eu não iria perder
Da outra vez eu sofri
Te magoei, me feri
Foi difícil aprender
Que quando chega a paixão
Justamente a razão
É a primeira a ceder
Mas as palavras vazias
Rolaram na mesa
Pesaram o ar
Eu não sabia pedir
Tu não sabias perdoar
Mulher nascida pra amar
Tenho que obedecer
O que o destino quis
E satisfeita dizer
Que sofrer de amor
Só me deixa feliz

(translation)

What if I call you
If I send for you
Give your arm to twist
I know you would win
And I would not lose
Once again I suffered
I hurt you, I hurt myself
It was hard to learn
That when passion comes
Precisely the reason
It's the first to give in
But the empty words
rolled on the table
Weighed the air
I didn't know how to ask
you didn't know how to forgive
woman born to love
I have to obey
What destiny wanted
I'm pleased to say
To suffer from love
It just makes me happy
