Final song Clark penned for the Album (with heart).
She says: "A sweet song of gratitude finished on new year’s eve 2013/14 at my keyboard after watching the year’s final sunset and a family of dolphins swim by in Brighton, Vic.
I had no attachment to the song as we’d almost finished recording the album, so approached it with a child like naivety. I combined Brazilian Portuguese and English on a ‘Ciranda' (Brazilian folk/children’s circle song) feel; a little musical concoction of drinking in culture and language."
lyrics
Just a little, little love song, dedication, appreciation
Little dose of unexpected, little dash of doce de Portuguese
Just a little temptation, the danger’s got me shaking
A loaded gun is a twist of lemon in a dirty martini
Vem ca vamos beber^essa magia connexão
Com coração, com coração, com coração
Just a little celebration without reason, good sensation
I’ll pour you one, um pouquinho de canção de amor
Vem ca vamos beber^essa magia connexão
Com coração, com coração, com coração
Com coração--
Just a little saideira, one last cheers, obrigada
I’ll sing you one, um pouquinho de canção de amor
Vem ca vamos beber^essa magia connexão
Com coração, com coração, com coração, com coração,
Com coração, com coração, com coração, com coração –
*Translation of Brazilian Portuguese lyrics included below:
Just a little, little love song, dedication, appreciation
Little dose of unexpected, little dash of sweet Portuguese
Just a little temptation, the danger's got me shaking
A loaded gun is a twist of lemon in a dirty martini
Come here ^ let's drink this magic connection
With heart, with heart, with heart
Just a little celebration without reason, good sensation
I'll pour you one, a little love song
Come here ^ let's drink this magic connection
With heart, with heart, with heart
with heart--
Just a little nightcap, one last cheers, thanks
I'll sing you one, a little love song
Come here ^ let's drink this magic connection
With heart, with heart, with heart, with heart,
With heart, with heart, with heart, with heart -
