Santiago

Lyrics: Stanley Péan / Music: Lucie Roy

Santiago, Santiago oh
Your name, like the sweet sigh of a wave
Softly dying on the beach and on this stave
Brazilian melody gently caressing
My shivering skin while I’m slowing undressing

Santiago, Santiago oh
Oh, the thrill of expectation
Slowly turning to sheer elation
While the silvery moon
Plunges into the ocean
Like a sinking balloon
You can see, you and me
Drifting away

We’re lost at sea, yet unafraid
And everything bad seems to fade
Seems to fade away

Santiago, Santiago oh
Your name, like the breath of that cool breeze
Softly blowing away my painful memories
The feeling’s erotic, new and enticing
Like some exotic dish with twice the spicing

Santiago, Santiago oh
Oh, the thrill of expectation
Slowly turning to sheer elation
While the silvery moon
Plunges into the ocean
Like a sinking balloon
You can see, you and me
Drifting away

We’re lost at sea, yet unafraid
As the scars and the hurt slowly fade
Slowly fade away, away

Santiago, don’t you go
Never go away
Santiago, Santiago oh
Santiago, Santiago oh
