Woman in the Waves

Lyrics

When I was a boy of twenty-two
 I stood before a statue
 Was it you?
 They shake the fruit when they dance
 You should try some when you have the chance.
 Her face had no power to deceive
 She wore her beauty shamelessly
 Like Eve.
 Guavas can be bittersweet
 But the mango's always good to eat,
 Love has complicated my past.
 God nows I left no stone unturned.
 Now I realize that at last
 I've found her again.
 She understands how the blue water behaves.
 Mother-of-pearl is the woman in the waves.
 My eyes could travel her beauty for always.
 Gold of the sun is the woman in the waves.
 I know that my life has led me here
 To where the dolphin jumps
 And the sky's clear.
 Here we live without locked doors
 Share and share alike- what's mine is yours.
 I see invitation in your smile
 To celebrate our passions
 Without guile.
 In the noa noa night
 Nave nave's a familiar sight.
 I am avare of her fragrance
 Even when she disappears.
