When I close my eyes, I see you
When the evening falls, I sigh
Here where I live, there are no stars
But the cars make the city glow alive

I'm a gringo in São Paulo
Feeling like I'm in New York
18 million people of 18 million colors
and I'm living on the 18th floor

Pa-ra-pa-pa...

All the traffic lights I see from my window
Compensate for lack of stars
For the air is grey and heavy,
eyes are blinking at the devil
and the people walking at the speed of light

I'm a gringo in São Paulo
Feeling like I'm in New York
18 million people of 18 million colors
and I'm living on the 18th floor

Pa-ra-pa-pa...

Here comes the rushing hour
Once again I'm lost
In this city of endless towers
and very high costs
Fo-fo-fo-fo goes the cars
Pi-rri-pi-pi carnival
But but but but - I'm on a rush
São Paulo is a Babylon

But I'm a gringo in São Paulo
And I'm feeling like I'm in New York
18 million people of 18 million colors
and I'm living on the 18th floor
Lord I'm a gringo in São Paulo
But I'm feeling like I'm in New York
and I'm feeling like I'm in New York.
