Furtado, Nelly - Island Of Wonder Lyrics






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 to bring 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
Eu vejo mais ao longe
Pessoas sem fome
Com pes 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
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
Every kind of universe

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

    @Joaquina1943 I remember watching that same game on a ferry from Pico to Sao Jorge. Peoople were throwing stuff at the tv (Coke bottles, napkins, etc). They were so upset about the loss!!

    @bout2bizounce It's her ode to the Azores I believe. They are 9 islands that sit in the middle of the Atlantic and are Portuguese. Her parents are from one of the islands called Sao Miguel. I think she got the inspiration from probably visiting...anyone know for sure?? Just my guess... One that note, I love spending summers in the Azores! =)
