Rio Portrait Lyrics

While the sun is setting in the sea

I close my eyes and try to dream

There's a little star that shines above

And it's a mirror of her face

Hush my baby now I'm here

Come on my dear, I'll wash your fears

She is cooking a good cake for me

Daddy is sleeping in the porch

A sweet tune comes from the radio

And my sister dances alone

Mama says you are my love

Come on my dear, you'll need no tears

Within the house where we're all merry

Love and doughnuts I can have for free

But I wake up, forget her face

I see my friends, if friends I can say

Now they give me a gun, they say you shoot

But I don't want to live in this way

I'm only six, forgotten childhood

And I know that's all I get from life

She turns back I don't know what is real

I feel her arms all over me

Then she smiles my heart would break in two

In my mind I hope is true

She kisses my cheek and pat my head

Come om my dear, I'm always here

Mama and daddy kissing in the dark

Maybe thinking I don't see

Then they turn and start to play with me

And I hope it never ends

They hold my hands and hug me tight

Come on our dear, we're always here

It's Sunday morning we are set out

To take a walk and to meet all our friends

We are so happy we start to run

And in the sun we fall down in the sand

A lot of tourists make out your duty

Pick all the pockets don't know what you say

I'm only six, I want to play

But all in a sudden I have to run away

Listen

All false, it was a dream

Never met my family, people hurt me

C'mon, c'mon, get them all

Shoot, shoot, they're running

C'mon, c'mon little bastards, clear our streets

I got one, I got one

Waste him, he was only six
