When Salomé sleeps
She is protected by Lemanja [ => a goddess]
When Salomé dreams
It seems that she listens to Bossa Novas
Her sandy eyes embedded in burnt Sienna
And of Venetian lullabies
Her volcanic sand eyes
Her nostalgic Fado eyes
When Salomé sings
She has the ease of an Habanera
When Salomé thinks
It seems that she isn't coming back
Of the country where the gazelles run
The animals on the other side
Her night eyes - but where does she come from?
Her night eyes - but where does she come from?
Where does she come from?
Where does she come from?
When Salomé goes out
I never ask her where she goes
When Salomé comes home
She says that I don't exist
Warriors follow her silently
Men from the other side
Great, still and remotely
Great and up to death
Where does she come from?
Where does she come from?
Salomé dances - Salomé dances
Salomé - Salomé - Salomé -
Salomé dances
Where does she come from?
Where does she come from?
