More than a distant land Over a shining sea More than the steaming green More than the shining eyes Well they tell me its 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 its rotten inside And the mask soon slips away Strange taste of a tropical fruit Romantic language of the portuguese Melody on a wooden flute Somba floating in the summer breeze Its 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 brazillian stars Oh holy southern cross Later on take me way downtown in a tin can; Cant come down from the bandstand Im never thrown for such a loss when they say Quando a nossa mãe acordar Andareimos ao sol Quando a nossa mãe acordar Cantara pelo sertão Quando a nossa mãe acordar Todos os filhos saberão Todos os filhos saberão E regozilarão Caught in the rays of the rising sun On the run from the soldiers gun Shouting out loud from the angry crowd The mild the wild and the hungry child Ill tell you theres 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 shining eyes But its more than the shining eye More than the steaming green More than the hidden hills More than the concrete christ More than a distant land Over a shining sea More than a hungry child More like another time Born of a million years More than a million years Share with friends

Cleber99 ::: Favorites A heartwarming performance by a master of music and poetry. What a genius JT is! What makes this video even better is the modest participation of brasilian music's sacred icon Milton Nascimento, another master ( he appears in the middle of the three back up singers).Thanks for uploading this jewel! 07-06-27 22:32:40 _____________________________________________________
