lyrics

LUANA
Itaiguara

When you had to go away
My life was in disarray
Till I understood, finally
You would have all you’d ever need

When you were born you were given the moon
Then the smile, the grace, the wisdom followed soon
Deep in your eyes I could see the light
You’re a gift to life

Now, though I’m not by your side
I still strive to earn your pride
And your faith in me, dear
Lua
My little girl, my hope, my love
