Björk - Alta Mira (English Translation) lyrics

[Verse 1]
One day I talked to old man in ragged clothes
I was walking near the harbour - he stood on the docks

[Verse 2]
He told me about the special country, far away it is
And now it's like something has burst inside me

[Chorus]
Alta Mira - is the adventure land
Alta Mira - my mind carries me there
Alta Mira - is the adventure land
Alta Mira - my mind carries me there

[Verse 3]
The old man told me that the Sun was seagreen over there
In the sea there were wise cows swimming on the side

[Verse 4]
A seal was in a musical in silver coloured shoes
In the squares roamed centipedes in flowery tuxedos

[Chorus]
Alta Mira - is the adventure land
Alta Mira - my mind carries me there
Alta Mira - is the adventure land
Alta Mira - my mind carries me there
[Outro]
Hey - Alta Mira - lalalalala-lala
