Letra da Música: Only A Dream in Rio - James Taylor

MORE THAN A DISTANT LAND

OVER A SHINNING SEA

MORE THAN THE STEAMING GREEN

MORE THAN THE SHINNING EYES

WELL THEY TELL ME, IT'S ONLY A DREAM IN RIO

NOTHING COULD BE AS SWEET AS IT SEEMS ON THIS VERY FIRST DAY DOWN

THEY REMIND ME, SON HAVE YOU SO SOON FORGOTTEN

OFTEN AS NOT IT'S ROTTEN INSIDE AND THE MASK SOON SLIPS AWAY

STRANGE TASTE OF A TROPICAL FRUIT

ROMANTIC LANGUAGE OF THE PORTUGUESE

MELODY ON A WOODEN FLUTE

SAMBA FLOATING IN THE SUMMER BREEZE

(TAKE IT) IT'S ALRIGHT YOU CAN STAY ASLEEP

YOU CAN CLOSE YOUR EYES

YOU CAN TRUST THE PEOPLE OF PARADISE

TO CALL YOUR KEEPER AND TENDER YOUR GOODBYES

OH WHAT A NIGHT WONDERFUL ONE IN A MILLION

FROZEN FIRE BRAZILIAN STARS

OH HOLY SOUTHERN CROSS

LATER ON TAKE MY WAY DOWNTOWN IN A TIN CAN

CAN'T COME DOWN FROM THE BANDSTAND
I'M NEVER THROWN FOR SUCH A LOSS WHEN THAY SAY:

QUANDO A NOSSA MÃE ACORDAR / ANDAREMOS AO SOL

QUANDO A NOSSA MÃE ACORDAR / CANTARÁ PELO SERTÃO

QUANDO A NOSSA MÃE ACORDAR / TODOS OS FILHOS SABERÃO

TODOS OS FILHOS SABERÃO E REGOZIJARÃO

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 THERE'S MORE THAN A DREAM IN RIO

I WAS THERE ON THE VERY DAY AND MY HEART CAME BACK ALIVE

THERE WAS MORE

MORE THAN THE SINGING VOICES

MORE THAN THE UPTURNED FACES

AND MORE THAN THE SHINNING EYES

BUT IT'S MORE THAN THE SHINNING EYE

MORE THAN THE STEAMING GREEN

MORE THAN THE HIDDEN HILLS

MORE THAN THE CONCRETE CHRIST

MORE THAN A DISTANT LAND

OVER A SHINNING SEA

MORE THAN A HUNGRY CHILD

MORE LIKE ANOTHER TIME

BORN OF A MILLION YEARS

MORE THAN A MILLION YEARS
