The Island
Ivan Lins Lyrics
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 the 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 your self inside me
Make it last forever
I can see the Island
Shining in th distance
Now we’re getting closer
Keep your arms around me
Love we’re almost there
Instrumental
Portuguese
Come
Come my love
Come my love
We’re here…
Come my love
We’re here…
Ooh Ooh Ooh
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 the secret places
Touch me till I tremble
Free my wings for flying
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 your self inside me
Make it last forever
I can see the Island
Shining in th distance
Now we’re getting closer
Keep your arms around me
Love we’re almost there
Instrumental
Portuguese
Come
Come my love
Come my love
We’re here…
Come my love
We’re here…
Ooh Ooh Ooh

LYRICS - THE ISLAND
IN PORTUGUESE - Começar De Novo
Começar de novo e contar comigo
Vai valer a pena ter amanhecido
Ter me rebelado, ter me debatido
Ter me machucado, ter sobrevivido
Ter virado a mesa, ter me conhecido
Ter virado o barco, ter me socorrido
Começar de novo e só contar comigo
Vai valer a pena ter amanhecido
Sem as tuas garras sempre tão seguras
Sem o teu fantasma, sem tua moldura
Sem tuas escoras, sem o teu domínio
Sem tuas esporas, sem o teu fascínio
Começar de novo e só contar comigo
Vai valer a pena já ter te esquecido
Começar de novo.

I first heard this song performed by Barbera Streisand and I was completely blown away by the power and beauty of it. This performance by the author of this song is on an extraordinary level.!!! Thanks so much.

I love the raspiness and smoothness of Ivan Lins voice in Portuguese, which sounds like French, Spanish, Italian....all romantic languages. God bless Ivan Lins. I love this song.
What are the words in English, please?
Jose Colon

Nerly Bravo
