| The man wrinkles his face
| El hombre arruga la cara
|
| But it’s already worn
| pero ya esta gastado
|
| The coffee is sour
| el cafe esta agrio
|
| And the shirt is torn
| Y la camisa está rota
|
| But the smile is bigger than the Atlantic sea
| Pero la sonrisa es más grande que el mar Atlántico
|
| And it happens to bring out the Atlantis in me
| Y sucede que aflora la Atlántida en mí
|
| Island of wonder
| isla de la maravilla
|
| Where do you come from
| De dónde es
|
| Is it the way the sun hits my face
| ¿Es la forma en que el sol golpea mi cara?
|
| Or is it your memory which I cannot trace
| ¿O es tu memoria la que no puedo rastrear?
|
| Eu vejo mais ao longe
| Eu vejo mais ao longe
|
| Pessoas sem fome
| Pessoas sem fome
|
| Com pés sangrando
| Com pés sangrando
|
| Na vereda Florida
| na vereda florida
|
| And the church bell dongs
| Y suena la campana de la iglesia
|
| A remarkable song
| Una canción notable
|
| And I swallow the salt
| Y me trago la sal
|
| As I hum along
| Mientras tarareo
|
| The woman she laughs as I pass her by
| La mujer de la que se ríe cuando la paso
|
| In a patchwork (dream) I left behind
| En un mosaico (sueño) que dejé atrás
|
| Island of wonder
| isla de la maravilla
|
| Where do you come from
| De dónde es
|
| Is it the way the sun
| ¿Es la forma en que el sol
|
| Hits my face
| Golpea mi cara
|
| Or is it your memory which I cannot trace
| ¿O es tu memoria la que no puedo rastrear?
|
| I cannot trace
| no puedo rastrear
|
| Look at me I have so much pride
| Mírame tengo tanto orgullo
|
| I took my shoes off I ran I did not hide
| me saqué los zapatos corrí no me escondí
|
| Look at me I have so much pride
| Mírame tengo tanto orgullo
|
| I will give my dowry for the prize
| daré mi dote por el premio
|
| Island of wonder
| isla de la maravilla
|
| Where are you going
| Adónde vas
|
| Nobody knows it
| Nadie lo sabe
|
| But it is snowing
| pero esta nevando
|
| In the hearts
| en los corazones
|
| And minds of every kind of universe
| Y mentes de todo tipo de universo
|
| Every kind of universe | Todo tipo de universo |
