Santa Maria [English translation]

Santa Maria, island born of dreams,

i lost my senses in the fever that burns like fire,

Santa Maria, at night on your snow-white beaches

i held her youth in my hands,

bliss, whose name is unknown.

She was a child of the sun, as beautiful the awakening dawn.

Hot was her proud gaze, and hidden deep inside her

burned the yearning,

Santa Maria, to take the step, Santa Maria,

from a girl to a woman.

Santa Maria, island born of dreams,

i lost my senses in the fever that burns like fire,

Santa Maria, her wildness let me feel,

float away on colorful wings,

to a far-of, unknown land.

Defenseless, i was floating, caught in the spell of her smile.

But when the day awakened, i saw the tears on her cheeks,

tomorrow meant Goodbye.

Santa Maria, my home, Santa Maria, so endlessly far away...

Santa Maria, island born of dreams,

i lost my senses in the fever that burns like fire,

Santa Maria, never have i felt this way,

as if intoxicated by the nightly hours,

the memory, it will never pass.
