Laia Ladaia Lyrics
[Intro]
(Laia Ladaia Sabatana Ave Maria
Laia Ladaia Sabatana Ave Maria)
In Northern Brazil, when the poor people want to pray
They want to pray like the priests in Latin, but they don't know Latin
So they make up Latin-sounding words
And say prayers that sound like this:
[Refrain]
Laia Ladaia Sabatana Ave Maria
Laia Ladaia Sabatana Ave Maria
[Verse 1]
I've been longing for love
I've been searching for love
Oh Lord, where is she?
Since the love I offer hasn't found another
Then I know what I'd better do
Lord, I just better pray to you
Or I may live my whole life through all alone
[Refrain]
Laia Ladaia Sabatana Ave Maria
Laia Ladaia Sabatana Ave Maria
[Verse 2]
Hеar my prayer, dear Lord above
Sеnd me someone to love
[Refrain]
Laia Ladaia Sabatana Ave Maria
Laia Ladaia Sabatana Ave Maria
[Verse 3]
Se o amor não é mais
Bastante pra vencer
Eu já sei o que vou fazer
Vou fazer uma oração
Vou cantar para ver se vai valer
[Refrain]
Laia Ladaia Sabatana Ave Maria
Laia Ladaia Sabatana Ave Maria
[Verse 4]
If it's not enough, my prayer
If there's no one to care
[Refrain]
Laia Ladaia Sabatana Ave Maria
Laia Ladaia Sabatana Ave Maria
[Verse 5]
Se é fraca a oração
Mil vezes cantarei
[Refrain]
Laia Ladaia Sabatana Ave Maria
Laia Ladaia Sabatana Ave Maria
[Outro]
Laia Ladaia Sabatana Ave Maria
Laia Ladaia Sabatana Ave Maria
Laia Ladaia Sabatana Ave Maria
