Un Son Para Portinari

For Cândido Portinari
Honey and rum
And a sugar guitar
And a song
And a heart
For Cândido Portinari
Buenos Aires and a Bandoneón

Oh, tonight we can
We can
Oh, tonight we can
We can
We can sing a tune

Dreams and shines
A man with a strong hand
Made of blood and paint
Screams on the canvas
Dreams and shines
His blood with a strong hand
Dreams and shines
Like carved in wax
Dreams and shines
Like a star up high
Dreams and shines
Like a spark that flies
Dreams and shines

So, with his strong hand
Made of blood and paint
On the canvas
Dreams and shines
A man with a strong hand

Portinari keeps him awake
And heals his broken heart
