Lyrics
Island Of Wonder (feat. Caetano Veloso)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The man wrinkles his face
But it's already worn
The coffe is sour
And the shirt is torn
But the smile is bigger
Than the Atlantic sea
And it happens
Tobring out the Atlantis in me
Island of wonder
Where do you come from?
Is it the way
The sun hits my face?
Or is it your memory
Which I cannot trace?
I cannot trace
Eu vejo mais ao longe
Pessoas sem fome
Com os pés sangrando
Na vereda florida
And the church bell dongs
A remarkable song
And I swallow the salt
As I hum along
The woman she laughs
As I pass her by
In a patchwork dream
I left behind
Island of wonder
Where do you come from?
Is it the way
The sun hits my face?
Or is it your memory
Which I cannot trace?
I cannot trace
Look at me
I have so much pride
I took my shoes off
I ran, I did not hide
Yeah, look at me
I have so much pride
I will give my dowry for the prize
Island of wonder
Where are you going?
Nobody knows it
But it is snowing
In the hearts and minds
Of every kind of universe
Universe, universe
