;
THE ISLAND
Make believe we've landed
On a desert island.
Bathe me in the waters,
Warm me in the moonlight,
Taste me with your kisses,
Find those secret places
Touch me till I tremble
Free my wings for flying
And catch me while I'm falling
Keep your arms around me
Like there's no tomorrow
Let me know you love me.
On our little island
Not a soul can see us.
Show me how to love you
Teach me how to please you.
Lay your dreams beside me
Only stars will listen
To our cries and whispers.
You were made to love me
And, I was made to love you
Keep your arms around me
Lose yourself inside me.
Make it last forever.
I can see the island
Shining in the distance
Now we're getting closer.
Keep your arms around me.
Love, We're almost there,
"Come estar de novo e contar comigo...
Vai valer a pena ter amanhecido...
Come estar de novo e contar comigo..."
A near translation from the Portuguese is:
"Once more we can begin and you can count on me...
It might be worth to be in the sunrise...
Once more we can begin and you can count on me..."
This wonderful picture is from the collection of Maria Niemela, with gratitude.
