Paroles: Nelly Furtado. Folklore. Island Of Wonder.

(feat. Caetano Veloso)

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
Tobring 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
