Kissed By Time (Parque Das Ruínas)

Jeferson Montez

Compositor: Jeferson Corrêa Oliveira

Bricks stand weathered, kissed by time
A mansion's ghost in a sunlit clime
Rio's green embrace, a vibrant hold
Stories whispered, brave and bold

Parque das Ruínas, where old meets new
Steel and glass against the blue
A window to the city's sprawl
Echoes linger through it all

Ivy climbs where walls once stood
Nature's art in a peaceful wood
A stage for moments, soft and bright
Bathed in Carioca light

Parque das Ruínas, where old meets new
Steel and glass against the blue
A window to the city's sprawl
Echoes linger through it all

From crumbled stone to modern grace
A cultural heart in this special place
Looking out where mountains rise
Beneath the vast and endless skies

Parque das Ruínas, where old meets new
Steel and glass against the blue
A window to the city's sprawl
Echoes linger through it all

Parque das Ruínas, where old meets new
Steel and glass against the blue
A window to the city's sprawl
Echoes linger through it all

Oh, Parque das Ruínas, standing free
A memory and a destiny
