Meu amor, olha só hoje o sol não apareceu
É o fim da aventura humana na Terra
Meu planeta adeus
Fugiremos nós dois na arca de Noé
Olha meu amor, o final da odisséia terrestre
Sou Adão e você será...
Minha pequena Eva
O nosso amor na última astronave
Além do infinito eu vou voar
Sozinho com você
E voando bem alto
Me abraça pelo espaço de um instante
Me envolve com seu corpo e me dá
A força prá viver
Pelo espaço de um instante
Afinal, não há nada mais
Que o céu azul prá gente voar
Sobre o Rio, Beirute ou Madagascar
Toda Terra reduzida a nada, nada mais
Minha vida é um flash de controles
Botões anti-atômicos
Olha bem meu amor
É o fim da odisséia terrestre
Sou Adão e você será...

Tive sorte de encontrar você
Que debocha do meu jeito de ser
De repente faz juras de amor..
Me esquenta no frio
Me refresca no calor
A gente troca,
A gente troca de lugar
A gente brinca
A gente brinca de brigar
Chora de rir,
Fica de mal
Coisas de casal,
Coisas de casal
Chora de rir,
Fica de mal
Coisas de casal,
Coisas...

Um amor de verão
Tem um sol particular
Queima a boca até rachar
Não tem meio coração
Um amor de verão
Vem com tudo a favor
Foge em ondas de calor
E tem outra vibração
#1#
Um amor de verão
Tá na pele, tá no ar
Tá nos olhos de quem dá
Tá no gosto do limão
#2#
Um amor de verão
Corre em rios pelo mar
Tem mais chance de brilhar
E tem outra vibração
#3#
Quando você passa
Dá de graça tentação
Onde há fumaça, assa um beijo
#4#
A febre do desejo
Dispara o coração
Quando ao fundo eu te vejo
Dentro do maiô... oh não, oh não
Quando ao fundo eu te vejo
Dentro do maiô... não, não, não
Repete #1#, #2#, #3# e #4#
Oh não
Quando ao fundo eu te vejo
Dentro do maiô, não, oh não
quando ao fudo eu te vejo
Dentro do maiô... não
Um amor de verão

Acho bem melhor do que ficar marcando touca
Ir direto ao assunto, antes que eu vire presunto
Preciso de um remédio que me cure rapidinho
Que seja indicado pra falta de carinho
Porque a ferida que eu tenho é grande
Eu pergunto e ninguém responde
Quem se importa?
Um feiticeiro disse que amar não é tolice
Não, não é pecado ter você sempre ao meu lado
Disse que havia uma droga encantada
Que curava tudo e não doía nada
Então, me descola a porção do amor
É você quem vai ter que pôr
Quem se importa?
Por isso põe devagar
Põe devagarinho, que é pra não machucar
Põe bem de mansinho
Põe devagar
Põe devagarinho dentro do coração
Então eu percebi
Como é difícil ser Romeu
Fiquei apaixonado
Que bicho foi que me mordeu?
