Que eu quero mais
What more do I want
Se eu sei que a vida é bela e linda?
If I know that life is beautiful and lovely?
Que eu quero mais
What more do I want
Se eu sei que eu estou de bem com vida?
If I know that I'm at peace with life?
Todinho de branco, lindo, esperando ela chegar
All dressed in white, beautiful, waiting for her to arrive
Ela chegar
For her to arrive
Mag, Mag Mag
Mag, Mag Mag

Já consultei os astros
I've consulted the stars
Ela chega na primavera
She arrives in spring
Ela já se encontra a caminho
She's already on her way
Voando numa nave maternal dourada
Flying in a golden maternal ship
Muito veloz, feita de um metal miraculoso
Very fast, made of a miraculous metal
Com janelas de cristal e forro de veludo rosa
With crystal windows and pink velvet lining
E forro de veludo rosa, rosa
And pink velvet lining, pink
Mag, Mag Mag
Mag, Mag Mag
Magnólia
Magnolia
Eu disse Magnólia
I said Magnolia
Eu disse Mag, Mag, Mag
I said Mag, Mag, Mag
Mag, Mag
