pensa-se na arcaica palavra iraniana hamazan que significava "guerreira" e depois na mítica Αμαζών que parece significar "sem seio" (evocando a lenda de mulheres a cavalo que cortavam um seio para maior destreza no manejo dos arcos e flechas). depois ouve-se aquele fabuloso riff inicial da guitarra de phil manzanera - que permanece como um dos melhores cartões de visita pour la musique roxie. e tudo faz de algum modo todo o sentido.

Amazona

Is a zone where

There is no doubt

No more fall-out -

Why don't you step

Through the mirror and see'

From Arizona

To Eldorado

Sure is a mighty long way.

Hey little girl

Is something wrong'

I know it's hard

For you to get along

The bell-tower rings

It tolls a hollow sound

But your castles in Spain

Still may be realised

And longings more profound.

You see - every cloud

Has a silver lining

And sometimes paradise

Around your corner lies.

In Amazona everything is nice

Little one - come take my hand'

I'll try to help you there -

I'll take you there.

Amazona's

Getting closer

Oh soon you'll see.

Journey's over

We're almost there
