Lyrics

[00:10.36] In your abandoned garden, sunlight still prevails:
[00:31.53] The jasmine climbs the trellis fragrantly, the
[00:39.74] jacaranda ultravioletly sways.
[00:53.35] The blossom. each of them by your hand planted,
[01:04.45] Will, even if I tell them of your sudden
[01:10.27] Disappearance from us,
[01:16.12] Not believe the tale.
[01:25.76] Though the samba has ended, I know in the sound
[01:31.20] Of your voice, your piano, your flute, you are found,
[01:36.51] And the music within you continues to flow
[01:41.64] Sadly, lost Antonio.
[01:47.32] You were my inspiration, my hero, my friend;
[01:52.64] On the highway of time will I meet you again?
[01:58.14] If the heart ever heals, does the scar always show
[02:03.92] For the lost Antonio?
[02:08.16] For the lost Antonio?
[02:38.76] In your abandoned garden, beauty is unchanged:
[02:58.74] The hummingbird still hovers for the scent the
[03:06.42] frangipane so seductively displays.
[03:19.85] Camellias, each of them by your hand planted,
[03:30.59] The sadness of your sudden disappearance still
[03:37.11] unknown to them,
[03:41.43] Await the kiss of rain.
[03:51.62] Though the samba has ended, I know in the sound
[03:56.93] Of your voice, your piano, your flute, you are found,
[04:02.16] And the music within you continues to flow
[04:07.15] Sadly, lost Antonio.
[04:10.76] You were my inspiration, my hero, my friend;
[04:17.45] On the highway of time will I meet you again?
[04:22.70] If the heart ever heals, does the scar always show
[04:28.45] For the lost Antonio?
[04:33.76] For the lost Antonio?
