letra de i only speak portuguese - nic jones
[intro]
yeah
[verse 1]
my name’s josé luís santini
a cooper’s boy, proud portuguese
shanghaied by an american whaler
bound down for the southern seas
[verse 2]
but i could not speak their language
and i was beaten mercilessly
and at cable bay i slipped over the side
bade farewell to the ship and the sea
[verse 3]
taken in and sheltered by the maori
the chieftain took pity on me
and i fell in love with his beautiful daughter
and i knew in my hеart she loved me
[verse 4]
for thе heart knows only one language
that the eyes alone speak with ease
though she could only speak maori
and i only spoke portuguese
[verse 5]
it’s fifty-six years we’ve been lovers
and it seems like just yesterday
and it’s twenty-one children she bore me
no man more contented today
[verse 6]
but if i had the wings of a tui
i would sing from the highest of trees
she still only speaks maori
and i only speak portuguese
[outro]
she still only speaks maori
and i only speak portuguese
