Milton Nascimento – Only A Dream In Rio lyrics
A Terra minha mae
O mar o meu chao
O verde a luz
Sorrindo em meu olhar
Pois eu digo, mesmo um sonho o Rio
Tudo sera como deve ser
Quero estar contigo la
Eu garanto, um lugar diferente
A minha gente carrega uma cruz
Mas tem forca p'ra mudar
Strange taste of a tropical fruit
Romantic language of the Portuguese
Melody on a wooden flute
Samba floating in the Summer breeze
Float on
It's alright you can stay asleep
You can close your eyes
You can trust the people of Paradise
To call your keeper
And to tender your goodbyes
Oh, what a night
Wonderful one in a million
Frozen fire Brazilian
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 say
Quando a nossa mae acordar
Cantaremos ao sol
Quando a nossa mae acordar
Cantara pelo sertao
Quando a nossa mae acordar
Todos os filhos a verao
Todos os filhos saberao
E regozijarao
O lugar de onde eu vim
Brota no coracao
O lugar onde eu nasci
Esta no mundo e em mim
O lugar que a gente sonhar
Pode existir, existira
Vive em ns e vivera
Enquanto houver cancao
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 it's more than
A dream in Rio
I was there on the very day
Di demais o coracao
E era mais
Mais do que nossas vozes
Mais do que o nosso rosto
Mais do que a luz do olhar
But it's more than the shining eye
(Mais do que a luz do olhar)
More than the steaming green
(Mais do que o verdejar)
More than the hidden hills
(Tudo o que nao se viu)
More than the concrete Christ
(Mais do que o Redentor)
More than a distant land
(Mais do que a Terra Mae)
Over the shining sea
(Mais do que o cu e o mar)
More than a hungry child
(A fome a nos doer)
More like another time
(O tempo a nos curtir)
Born of a million years
(Mais do que um milhao)
More than a million years
(De anos pra sonhar)
