Melody of the Rio Negro

(Verse 1)
I’m sitting by the Rio Negro’s right-hand shore,
The rain is drumming softly, nothing more.
From far away a sound begins to flow,
I don’t know the words — but my heart seems to know.

(Chorus)
Oh, wondrous song that drifts through mist,
You carry dreams the rain has kissed.
I clean my boat, and in my chest
The melody finds its rest.
Even dolphins hum along,
Circling deep where echoes belong.
Oh, Rio Negro, sing to me —
Let your voice set my spirit free.

(Verse 2)
Raindrops trace the wooden frame,
Each one shining with a name.
Is it just a song, or is it a dream?
Every note feels like a beam.

(Chorus)
Oh, wondrous song that drifts through mist,
You carry dreams the rain has kissed.
I clean my boat, and in my chest
The melody finds its rest.
Even dolphins hum along,
Circling deep where echoes belong.
Oh, Rio Negro, sing to me —
Let your voice set my spirit free.

(Bridge)
I don’t know the words, but I understand,
In this rhythm I lose the land.
Let the river play, let the rain be my choir,
Let the music lift me higher.

(Final Chorus – softly, then rising)
Oh, wondrous song that drifts through mist,
You carry dreams the rain has kissed.
Dolphins dance, my boat drifts wide —
Rio Negro, you’re my guide.
