Copacabana

Before anything else, let's make clear
The pages that matter to us
The ones from open books of close lives
Walls that forever remain silent

And to the rest of the world, sincere wishes
Of success in the battle
Let's think slowly
Want quickly
And walk with our heads held high

Even in this very moment when nothing happens
White calm, hotel bed linen
Scents of full life
Light sex, fresh water, fruit juice, and coffee

Even now that there's no fear
That nothing trembles
Bath salts, golden glow on the skin
And a sincere kiss on the lips
Bare feet, virgin sand
Copacabana and tap dancing

Deserted cinema, Sun on the face
Fiery Latina, sugarcane rum
Sunday from three o'clock
Terrace with wine and roses
Daydreaming, sleeping with you
Traveling slowly and returning

It's a blink, a quick flash
A Sunbeam that blinds
Changes in an instant
The way bodies breathe
And stops time

So everyone, look up at the sky
Calm, still
Take a breath
Maybe we'll have to run
At least let the memory remain
Of that perfect moment
Copacabana and tap dancing

It's a blink, a quick flash
A Sunbeam that blinds
Changes in an instant
The way bodies breathe
And stops time

It's a blink, a quick flash
A Sunbeam that blinds
Changes in an instant
The way bodies breathe
