ALTA MIRA
One day I talked to old man in ragged clothes
I was walking near the harbour - he stood on the docks
He told me about the special country, far away it is
and now it's like something has burst inside me
Alta Mira - is the adventure land
Alta Mira - my mind carries me there
Alta Mira - is the adventure land
Alta Mira - my mind carries me there
The old man told me that the sun was seagreen over there
in the sea there were wise cows swimming on the side
a seal was in a musical in silvercoloured shoes
in the squares roamed centipedes in flowery tuxedos
Alta Mira - is the adventure land
Alta Mira - my mind carries me there
Alta Mira - is the adventure land
Alta Mira - my mind carries me there
Hey - Alta Mira - lalalalala-lala...
