Rio in twilight
A caipirinha
And the sound of waves in Copa
Melt the senses
My mind finally
Begins to unravel
My thoughts finally
Become simple
The days of Tokyo
That once clung to me
Are washed away
I’ve been looking for
This night breeze
For a long, long time
For this moment
No one knows
No one will ever know
This is the place
Oh, my heart
Right now
Drift away
“Enjoy your life.”
Screams the rhythm
Of the Samba
I had a routine
That I wanted to break
That brought my unchangeable self
Along with it
I’m wandering the Avenida Atlântica
Just like a fugitive
Who am I? What am I?
Am I my slave to myself?
“Don’t think. Feel.”
Release
My five senses
From that daily life
Right now
This night breeze
This pleasure
This freedom
I’ve always wanted it
Without telling anyone
Before anyone can notice
Let me disappear
Oh, my heart
Right now
Drift away
