Told My Ma

I told my ma, about the town I love so well
I told my ma, about the town I love
my time will come, raising up my family
I told my ma, about the town I love

I'm leaving for an island, way down in the south
where the roads are curved and dusty with no names
the people's so inviting, they're smiling everywhere
with a tempo I can share

I like to get together, where there's samba in the streets
in a tropical favela to the beats
in Santa Catarina, a hot summer night
are you ready, to ignite?

I said
Oh oh hungry eyes, hungry eyes
My apprise, all for you
Oh, hungry eyes
Until the morning's arising
