Your wings, love,
I gave them to you
So you could conquer the skies
See how everything below you
Appears to be smaller than you
So small as they always have been
And while the bravery of your wishes still burns
Remove your veils
Open your pores, papillas and pupils
Let the morning light come in
Flying far over Ipanema
Down here, so small and vain,
Enjoy the pleasure, the sound,
The noise of a lapping wave
That breaks on the shore
While I go crazy, waiting for you
In the ground on the world's globe
Your wings, love,
I gave them to you
So you could conquer the skies
See how everything below you
Appears to be smaller than you
So small as they always have been
And while the bravery of your wishes still burns
Proteus
Open your pores, papillas and pupils
Before tomorrow comes
Flying far over Ipanema
Down here, so small and vain,
Enjoy the pleasure, the sound,
The noise of a lapping wave
That breaks on the shore
While I go crazy, waiting for you
In the ground on the world's globe
