Michael Franks - Down in Brazil (Live!!, 1977)

Michael Franks하면 Antonio song이나 Vivaldi's song을 떠올릴텐데 첨부터 Down in Brazil이란 곡이 귀에 들어왔다.
그 중 Sleeping Gypsy 앨범은 나의 오래된 애장판중 하나이며 이 앨범의 마지막 곡인 이 곡은 맘을 편안하게 해준다.

Michael Franks - Down in Brazil (1977, Sleeping Gypsy)


Down in Brazil
It takes a day to walk a mile
Time just stands still
And when the people you meet
Look at you, they smile
They still believe in style
They sooth you with their summers
Till you really know you're
Down in old Brazil
You can tell you're down in old Brazil

Down in Brazil
They never heard of win or lose
If you can't feel
That all those cafe ole girls
In high heel shoes
Will really cure your blues
It seems they all just aim to please
Those women sway like wind
In the banana trees
Then you know you're
Down in old Brazil

-Instrumental Interlude-

Down in Brazil
They know a million ways to play
You start to feel
And when you're happy
It's the same as when you pray
You think you'll get away
Then you know you never will
Not when you've been
Down in old Brazil
Not when you are down in old Brazil

(Fade to End)
Down in old Brazil
Down in old Brazil
Down in old Brazil
Down in old Brazil
