Almost Jamaica

Quase Jamaica

Almost Jamaica

Ela nasceu em DakotaShe was born in Dakota
Onde congelava a cada invernoWhere she froze to death each winter
Mas sonhava com as ilhasBut she dreamed about the islands
Perto do fogo ardente e esplendoroso.By the fire burning splendour.

Era quase JamaicaIt was almost Jamaica
Quase um paraísoAlmost paradise
Era quase JamaicaIt was almost Jamaica
Era quase muito bom.It was almost real nice.

Então ela se mudou pra fronteiraSo she moved down on the border
Com o sol, mas sem algas marinhasWith the sunshine but no seaweed
Embora não pudesse beber a águaThough she could not drink the water
Algumas ruas tinham palmeiras.Some of the streets were lined with palm trees

Era quase JamaicaIt was almost Jamaica
Quase um paraísoAlmost paradise
Era quase JamaicaIt was almost Jamaica
Era quase muito bom.It was almost real nice.

Ventilador elétrico na mesaElectric fan on the table
O chuveiro é sua cachoeiraShower is her waterfall
Ela pode nunca ter JamaicaShe may never have Jamaica
Mas na cabeça, ela tem tudo.But in her mind she has it all.

E era quase JamaicaAnd it was almost Jamaica

Era quase JamaicaIt was almost Jamaica
Era quase muito bom.It was almost real nice.

Ela adorava os avisos de furacãoShe loved their hurricane warnings
E a brisa tropicalAnd the tropical breeze
Ela ama cocos e canções de amorShe loves coconuts and love songs
Com um pouco de reggae na brisa.With a little reggae breeze.
