歌词

歌曲名 Dreamland

歌手名 Caetano Veloso

It' s a long long way from Canada

A long way from snow chains

Donkey vendors

Slicing coconut

No parkas to their name

Black babies

Covered in baking flour

The cook' s

Got a carnival song

We' re going to lay down

Someplace shady

With dreamland coming on

Dreamland dreamland

Dreamland dreamland

Walter Raleigh

And Chris Columbus

Come marching

Out of the waves

And claim the beach

And all concessions

In the name

Of the suntan slave

I wrapped that flag around me

Like a dorothy Lamour sarong

And I lay down

Thinking national

With dreamland coming on

Dreamland dreamland

Dreamland dreamland

Goodtime Mary

And a fortune hunter

All dressed up

To follow the drums

Mary in a feather

Hula-hoop

Miss fortune

With a rose

On her big game gun

All saints

All sinners shining

Heed those trumpets

All night long

Propped up

On a samba beat

With dreamland coming on

Dreamland dreamland

Dreamland dreamland

Tar baby and the great white wonder

Talking over aa glass of rum

Burning on the inside with the knowledge

Of things to come

There' s gambling out on the terrace

And midnight

Ramblin' on the lawn as they lead

Toward temptation with dreamland coming on

Dreamland dreamland

Dreamland dreamland

In a plane flying back to winter

In shoes full of tropic sand

A lady in a foreign flag

On the arm of her marlboro man

The hawk howls

In New York City

Six foot drifts

On myrtle' s lawn

As they push

The recline buttons down

With dreamland coming on

Dreamland dreamland

Dreamland dreamland

African sand

On the trade winds

And the sun on the amazon

As they push

The reline buttons down

With dreamland coming on

Dreamland dreamland

Dreamland dreamland
