Phil Manzanera - Tropical

[These are the lyrics taken form the sleeve. They are the English translation but the song is sung in Spanish]

The gentle wind on my face
Thee malecon in Havana
The heat of the morning
A well played rhumba

The mountains in Caracos
Crazy Nights with Sanchez Vegas
The smell of gardenias
The club at night and palm trees

Tropical

Girardot with streets of dust
Playing the tiple with Ernesto
A 1950's Oldsmobile
Uncle Paco, the Magdalena river
The open air cinema at midnight ship-wing Contifilas
Dancing Cumbia with my cousins
Drinking Cuba Libres at midnight
The Latin Jazz of Pachito

Tropical

The sea air at my window
The white sand of La Guaira
The 1960's mini skirts
A dark haired girl with high heals

The sound of the Salsa and Corcovado
A well played Bossa Nova
The tastе of coffee on my lips
Doing Nothing with my friends

Tropical
