You laugh, you lie a lot
You cry, you die too
You have the tropics
In the blood and on the skin
Moan of madness and of torpor
It's already dawn
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Kill me laughing
Tell me about love
Dreams and lies
I know them well and I know by heart
Moan of pleasure and of fear
It's already dawn
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Come and wet my neck
I will comfort you
Come gentle mulatto
Dance in my arms
Come, boy, tell me
Where is
Your sun, your embers
Who bewitched me
The sea, the tide, the boat
You have the scent
Of the brandy and the sweat
Moan of laziness and heat
It's already dawn
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
