Island Of Wonder – Caetano Veloso – letras

The man wrinkles his faceBut it’s already wornThe coffe is sourAnd the shirt is tornBut the smile is bigger than the Atalntic sea And it happens to bring out the Atlantis in meIsland of wonderWhere do you come fromIs it the way the sun hits my faceOr is it your memory which I cannot traceEu vejo mais ao longePessoas sem fomeCom pés sangrandoNa vereda floridaAnd the church bell dongsA remarkable songAnd I swallow the saltAs I hum alongThe woman she laughs as I pass her byIn a patchwork (dream) I left behindIsland of wonderWhere do you come fromIs it the way the sunHits my faceOr is it your memory which I cannot traceI cannot traceLook at me I have so much prideI took my shoes off I ran I did not hideLook at me i Have so much prideI will give my dowry for the prizeIsland of wonderWhere are you goingNobody knows itBut it is snowingIn the heartsand minds of every kind of universeEvery kind of universe
