In The Hot Sun Of A Christmas Day

Written by Gilberto Gil and Caetano Veloso
(Gege Edicoes Musicais & Terra Enterprises)


They are chasing me
In the hot sun of a Christmas Day
But they won’t find me
In the hot sun of a Christmas Day

I walk the streets
In the hot sun of a Christmas Day
Everybody’s blind
In the hot sun of a Christmas Day

I need my girl
In the hot sun of a Christmas Day
She seems to love me less
In the hot sun of a Christmas Day

Machine gun
In the hot sun of a Christmas Day
They killed someone else
In the hot sun of a Christmas Day

I need my girl on a Christmas Day
Everybody’s blind
And I walk the streets on a hot Christmas day

I need my girl
They are chasing me
