Djavan - Bird of Paradise lyrics

You appear on the horizon, far away My desire to be there with you Stirs the wind and fills the sails In the bay I drop the anchor down, swim ashore On the beach the coconut palms Jasmine, frangipane and you... Your silent eyes convince me I'm marooned We're safe inside this azure blue lagoon I want to know you, bird of paradise I want to show you, all the love that I feel I need to touch you, bird of paradise I need your touch to make this fantasy real On the sea a storm is raging, far away And the ships - like so many toys - Fear the wind and fight the waves In your arms are forgotten dreams Nothing more Here the sky is perfectly clear Evening, starlight, moonlight and you Your silent eyes convince me I'm marooned We're safe inside this azure blue lagoon I want to know you, bird of paradise I want to show you, all the love that I feel I need to touch you, bird of paradise I need your touch to make this fantasy real I want to know you, bird of paradise I want to show you, all the love that I feel Just you and me, a mango tree The bare necessities of love My bird of paradise, I realize That you were sent here from above You're my bird Of paradise My bird of paradise
