Track 11 from the 2003 album Folklore.

Songtekst:

The man wrinkles his face

But it's already worn

The coffe 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

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

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

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

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

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

@Joaquina1943 I remember watching that same game on a ferry from Pico to Sao Jorge. Peoople were throwing stuff at the tv (Coke bottles, napkins, etc). They were so upset about the loss!!

@bout2bizounce It's her ode to the Azores I believe. They are 9 islands that sit in the middle of the Atlantic and are Portuguese. Her parents are from one of the islands called Sao Miguel. I think she got the inspiration from probably visiting...anyone know for sure?? Just my guess... One that note, I love spending summers in the Azores! =)
