Island of Wonder

[Verse 1: Nelly Furtado][Chorus: Nelly Furtado]

[Verse 1: Nelly Furtado]

The man wrinkles his face / But it's already worn / The coffee is sour / And the shirt is torn / But the smile is bigger than the Atlantic sea / And it happens to bring out the Atlantis in me

[Chorus: Nelly Furtado]

Island of wonder / Where do you come from / Is it the way the sun hits my face/

Or is it your memory which I cannot trace, I cannot trace

[Verse 2: Caetano Veloso]

Eu vejo mais ao longe / Pessoas sem fome /

Com pés sangrando / Na vereda Florida /

And the church bell dongs / A remarkable song /

And I swallow the salt / As I hum along /

The woman she laughs as I pass her by /

In a patchwork (dream) I left behind

[Chorus: Caetano Veloso]

Island of wonder / Where do you come from /

Is it the way the sun/ Hits my face /

Or is it your memory which I cannot trace /

I cannot trace

[Bridge: Nelly Furtado]

Look at me I have so much pride /

I took my shoes off I ran I did not hide /

Look at me I have so much pride /

I will give my dowry for the prize

[Chorus: Nelly Furtado & Caetano Veloso]

Island of wonder / Where are you going /

Nobody knows it / But it is snowing /

In the hearts / And minds of every kind of universe / Every kind of universe
