/* ABOUT: Tribute to the beautiful city of Penedo, a Finnish colony in the hot and chaotic Rio de Janeiro. */

/******************/

Under mist and mango trees,

Where the tropic whispers freeze,

I found a quiet hymn between the palms and pine,

The river hums, the dawn replies,

Soft aurora in your eyes,

A Finland dream beneath Brazilian sky.

E quando o mundo me esquecer,

Teu vento vem me reconhecer.

Penedo, stone of dreams,

Where the sunlight softly gleams,

Nas montanhas o tempo dorme,

E o amor renasce em mim,

In your cold and gentle flame,

I’ll rebuild my heart, my name—

Oh, Penedo, hold me in your rain.

Cedar smoke and ocean’s song,

Here the lost can still belong,

The mountains cradle me like time stood still,

Between two worlds I breathe anew,

The tropic blue, the northern hue,

You teach my restless soul to heal.

E quando o mundo me esquecer,

Teu vento vem me reconhecer.

Penedo, stone of dreams,

Where the sunlight softly gleams,

Nas montanhas o tempo dorme,

E o amor renasce em mim,

In your cold and gentle flame,

I’ll rebuild my heart, my name—

Oh, Penedo, hold me in your rain.

Maybe peace was never far,

Just hidden in the cedar’s scar,

You’re the song the world forgot to sing—

Where silence feels like spring.

Penedo, stone of dreams,

Flowing down the mountain streams,

Onde está o frio e o coração,

No teu brilho doce, ficarão.

Let the lost ones come and know—

Oh, Penedo, love begins again.
