Lyrics
GATOS
music by Carlos Garcia, lyrics by Eugénio de Andrade
Gatos dos quintais
Gatos dos portões
Gatos dos quartéis
Gatos das pensões
Vêm da Índia, da Pérsia
De Niníve Alexandria
Vêm do lado da noite
Do oiro e rosa do dia
Gatos das duquesas
Gatos das meninas
Gatos das viúvas
Gatos das ruínas
Gatos e gatos e gatos
Arre, que já estamos fartos!

Joana's voice echoes the samba that dances on the streets of Rio de Janeiro while lures the Lisbon fado that came in suitcases from the other side of the ocean.
Joana's eyes have room for whole countries, for whole journeys and for journeys that are yet to be.
In Joana's music, there's this need to be joyful here, tomorrow and afterwards and, in her songs, Joana is able to enlighten.
