I saw you in the midst of a haze of cigarettes
You danced happily on a small loft
And I saw in your eyes, so full of radiance,
The right place to chat with you
I don't know if it was Friday or some holiday
But for me it was the perfect opener
And when you gave me a kind word
My dreams soared, filling the emptiness
And there was still some stumbling in my skin
Mixed in with the morning rum
And that was just some excuse, maybe,
Hearing your name for the first time
Lina by night and Lina by day
Avoids dates with my fantasies
But some evening I'll see you on the corner
By where my melancholy goes (x2)
In the midst of a haze of cigarettes
You danced happily on a small loft
And I saw in your eyes, so full of radiance,
The right place to chat with you

But for me it was the perfect opening
And when you gave me a gentle word
My dreams soared, filling the emptiness
And there was still some stumbling in my skin
Mixed in with the morning rum
And that was just some excuse, maybe,
Hearing your name for the first time
Lina by night and Lina by day
Avoids dates with my fantasies
But some evening I'll see you on the corner
By where my melancholy goes (x2)
Lina by night
Lina by day
Someone come and tell me that you aren't
Mine, Lina (x2)
Lina by night and Lina by day
Avoids dates with my fantasies
But some evening I'll see you on the corner
By where my melancholy goes
Lina by night and Lina by day
Avoids dates with my fantasies
But some evening I'll see you on the corner
By where you walk, changing my life
