Vou correr o risco de afundar de vez
Sob o peso da insensatez
Já sem poder boiar
Estarei com alguém nariz contra nariz
O afogamento por um triz
Tentarei me salvar
Sempre assim
Sempre que o amor vaza a maré
Vou parar bem longe aonde não dá pé
Difícil de nadar
Outro dia o fato aconteceu enfim
Um golfinho, um anjo, um boto serafim
Chegou para me ajudar
Me agarrei àquele corpo liso e me deixei levar
Ao lado seu sorriso aberto a me guiar
Então eu relaxei e me entreguei completamente ao mar
Sempre assim
Sempre que o amor vaza a maré
Vou parar bem longe aonde não dá pé
Dificil de nadar
Outro dia o fato aconteceu enfim
Um golfinho, um anjo, um boto, serafim
Chegou pra me ajudar
Me agarrei àquele corpo liso e me deixei levar
Ao lado seu sorriso aberto a me guiar
Então eu relaxei e me entreguei completamente ao mar
