Strange taste of a tropical fruit Romantic language of the portuguese / / / / / Melody on a wooden flute Samba floating in the summer breeze It?s allright 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 me way downtown in a tin can / / I can?t come down from the bandstand I’m never thown for such a loss when they say / / / / / / / / / / Qdo a nossa mãe acordar andaremos ao sol Qdo ... acordar cantará pelo sertão Qdo ... acordar todos os filhos saberão / / / / Todos os filhos saberão e regozijarão ( ) Caught in the rays of 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 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 up turned faces / / / / / / / / And more than the shining eyes But it?s more than the shining eye More than the steaming green More than the hidden hills / / / / A /Bm7} / More than the concret christ More than a distant land over a shining sea ( / / / / ) More than the a hungry child More like another time Born of a million years More than a million years _______________________________________________________ Contribuição: ricocarioca([email protected]) I think all references to should be fingered: barr 2nd fret and d4b3.
