Antonio's Song - Ana Caram

Antonio lives life’s frevo

Antonio prays for truth

Antonio says our friendship

Is a hundred-proof

The vulture that circles Rio

Hangs in this L. A. Sky

The blankets they give the Indians

Only make them die

But sing the Song

Forgotten for so long

And let the Music flow

Like Light into the Rainbow

We know the Dance, we have

We still have the chance

To break these chains and flow

Like Light into the Rainbow

Antonio loves the desert

Antonio prays for rain

Antonio knows that Pleasure

Is the child of Pain

And lost in La Califusa*

When most of my hope was gone

Antonio’s samba led me

To the Amazon

We sing the Song

Forgotten for so long

And let the music flow

Like Light into the Rainbow

We know the Dance, we have

We still have the chance

To break these chains and flow

Like Light into the Rainbow
