Island Of Wonder Lyrics - Folklore - 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 

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 

Eu vejo mais ao longe 

Pessoas sem fome 

Com paces 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, universe, universe 

Island of wonder 

Where are you going 

Nobody knows it 

But it is snowing 

In the hearts 

And minds of every kind of universe, universe, universe
