Djavan - Bird of Paradise lyrics
[Djavan - Bird of Paradise lyrics]
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
