Píseň: Only A Dream In Rio
- Interpret:
- James Taylor
- Album:
- That's Why I'm Here
More than distant land More than shining sea More than steaming green More than shining eyes Well, they tell me it's only a dream in Rio Nothing could be as sweet as it seems On this very first day down They remind me "Son, have you so soon forgotten? Often as not it's rotten inside, and the mask soon slips away." Strange taste of a tropical fruit Romantic language of the Portuguese Melody on a wooden flute somba floating in the summer breeze Ahhhhhhhh... Well, it's all right You can stay asleep You can close your eyes You can trust the people of paradise To call your keeper And tender your goodbyes Oh, what a night Wonderful one in a million Frozen fire brazillian stars Oh, holy southern cross Later on take me way downtown in a tin can; I Can't come down from the bandstand I'm never thrown for such a loss When they sang... "Quando a nossa mãe acordar, Andaremos ao sol. Quando a nossa mãe acordar, Cantará pelo sertão. Quando a nossa mãe acordar, Todos os filhos saberão. Todos os filhos saberão. E se alegrarão." Caught in the rays of the rising sun. On the run from the soldier's gun, Shouting out loud from the angry crowd. The mild the wild and the hungry child, I'll tell you there's more than a dream in Rio. I was there on the very day. And my heart came back alive, There was more, Aore than singing voices, More than upturned faces. And more than the shining eyes. But it's more than shining eyes More than steaming green More than hidden hills More than concrete christ More than distant land Over a shining sea More than a hungry child More like another time Born of a million years More than a million years
