Se procurar, no mapa vai achar
Antes de Búzios, depois de Bacaxá
Existe um lugar
Existe um lugar
Uma cidade pequena na na na
Chamada saqua
Saquare' Saquarema ma ma
 
E o Havaí, era ali
E a vida rolava como ondas perfeitas
(Still together)
Atrás da laje (ah), com fé e coragem
Maçambaba, Itaúna e lá na Praia da Vila (uh la la la)
 
Swell, swell
E eu nem te falei dos discos que eu vi no céu
Lual, lual, Saquarema, maior visual

Varrer a casa e fazer nossa comida (Jah love)
E dar graças a Deus (graças a Deus still together)
Fazer parafina pra descolar uma grana
E esperar pelas gatas no fim de semana

What a beautiful dream
I think I'll stay a while
Won't open my resting eyes
Court of God in between
Twilight was rocking me
Could not hear the symphony
Is the grass of Eden overrated?
The grass of Eden overrated
 
Somewhere off in the past
Morning is calling me
I missed it deliberately
Is the grass of Eden overrated?
The grass of Eden overrated
 
No one else is such a beautiful dream
A beautiful dream
No one else is such a beautiful dream
A beautiful dream to me
 
With your fingers ablaze
You've got that hunger now
Take me, I'm going down
Underneath the debris
I'm calling out to you
Do with me what you choose
Is the grass of Eden overrated?
The grass of Eden overrated
 
No one else is such a beautiful dream
A beautiful dream
No one else is such a beautiful dream
A beautiful dream
No one else is such a beautiful dream
A beautiful dream
No one else is such a beautiful dream
A beautiful dream to me
 
Oh
Can you hear me now?
Oh
I'm not going nowhere
When you wake up
I'll be around
When you wake up
I'll be around
 
No one else is such a beautiful dream
A beautiful dream
No one else is such a beautiful dream
A beautiful dream
No one else is such a beautiful dream
A beautiful dream
No one else is such a beautiful dream
A beautiful dream to me
Such a beautiful dream
A beautiful dream
Such a beautiful dream
A beautiful dream to me.

I will fight
I will fight for you
I always do, until my heart
Is black and blue
 
And I will stay
I will stay with you
We'll make it to the other side
Like lovers do
 
I'll reach my hands out in the dark
And wait for yours to interlock
I'll wait for you
I'll wait for you
 
'Cause I'm not givin' up
I'm not givin' up, givin' up
No not yet
Even when I'm down to my last breath
Even when they say there's nothin' left
So don't give up on
 
I'm not givin' up
I'm not givin' up, givin' up
No not me
Even when nobody else believes
I'm not goin' down that easily
So don't give up on me
 
And I will hold
I'll hold onto you
No matter what this world'll throw
It won't shake me loose
 
I'll reach my hands out in the dark
And wait for yours to interlock
I'll wait for you
I'll wait for you
 
'Cause I'm not givin' up
I'm not givin' up, givin' up
No not yet
Even when I'm down to my last breath
Even when they say there's nothin' left
So don't give up on
 
I'm not givin' up
I'm not givin' up, givin' up
No not me
Even when nobody else believes
I'm not goin' down that easily
So don't give up on me
 
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
 
I will fight
I will fight for you
I always do until my heart
Is black and blue.

I used to spend most of my time
Just being alone, yes, I did
Nothing to do, no place to go
Just stayed at home
 
So I put my blues upon the shelf
And I made up my mind
To live a little myself
So I went on down to a disco
 
Disco, that's where
The happy people go
(Happy people go)
And they're just dancing along
To a perfect song at the disco
 
Disco, that's where
The happy people go
And they're just dancing along
To a perfect song at the disco
 
Now listen, all my friends
They wonder what's come over me
They all say I'm not the
Same old guy I used to be, yeah
 
First of all, I got myself together
I danced my blues away
They're gone forever
Then I ease on down to the disco
 
Disco, that's where
The happy people go
(Happy people go)
And they're just dancing along
To a perfect song at the disco
 
Clap your hands
Just stomp your feet, alright
Get on down, get on down
Just get on down
 
Sing the song, children
Boogie, boogie, boogie
Boogie, boogie
Boogie, boogie
Boogie, boogie
Boogie, boogie
Boogie, boogie
 
Oh, yeah
Keep on, keep on
Keep on
 
Disco, that's where
The happy people go
And they're just dancing along
To a perfect song at the disco.
