A Ilha
Chico Buarque
The Island
A beam of light
That seduces everything
Around here
Falling star
Shining
Endlessly
And a scent of love
Permeating the air
Numbing me
I wish it came from the sea
And not from you
A ray flooding
With brightness
A lost night
A state of things
So pure
That move a life
And a deep green
In the gaze
Driving me crazy
I wish it were
In the sea
And not in you
Because your heart
Is an island
Hundreds
Of miles from here
