Tropicana sobre Alberto Santos Dumont (Ver.2)
A slow, melodious Tropicana jazz piece unfolds over a laid-back merengue rhythm, led by warm nylon string guitar arpeggios and expressive saxophone lines. Conga drum provides syncopated Latin groove throughout. Dreamy female vocals float above, lending a smooth, airy texture to the song.

Lyrics
Santos Dumont
Grande figura
pois ele era movido
por sonhos e café
Santos Dumont
alimentou seus sonhos
com of frutos
das plantações de café
Grandes feitos
nascem de grandes sonhos
que são forjados
pelo vapor do café
nossa chaleira
está fervendo há horas
nosso café
viu uma lama
Nosso café
viu uma lama
então nossos sonhos
não valem nada
Mas nosso café
está quente pra caramba
assim como nossos sonhos
nossos sonsos eståo vivos
≠===================
Santos Dumont
A great man
For he was driven
by dreams and coffee
Santos Dumont
Nourished his dreams
with the fruits
of coffee plantations
Great deeds
Come out of great dreams
That are forged
by the steam of coffee
our kettle
has been building for hours
our coffee
is like mud
our coffee
is like mud
so our dreams
are worth nothing
but our coffee
is hot as hell
and so are our dreams
our dreams are alive
