Marcus Viana - A Miragem
Country - Brazil Player- Laura
Ah, se pudéssemos contar As voltas que a vida dá Pra que a gente possa encontrar Um grande amor É como se pudéssemos contar Pobre coração, o dos apaixonados Somente por amor E a morte não é mais |
English Lyrics of A Miragem(The Mirage) Ah, if we could count the turns that life gives So that people can find a great love It's as if we could count all the stars of the sky the grains of sand of this sea even so Poor hearts, of the passionate ones That cross the desert in search of an oasis in flower Risking everything for a mirage they know that there is a hidden fountain in the sands Fortunate the ones that of it they drink Because forever they will be consoled only for love people put their hands in the fire of the passion and leave them to burn Only for love We move earth and skies Tearing the seven veils We jump in the abyss Without looking back Only for love life is renewed and death is no more for us |

Returning to Brazil, Marcus participates in several Pop Music Festivals all over his state, Minas Gerais, always winning the first prizes.

Besides his work at the orchestra, his participation as a musician on the "Saecula Saeculorum" group, opened him the doors of another musical style: the progressive rock. Marcus Viana, since the 70s has always been interested in the electrification
of the violin, trying a fusion of classical, rock and brazilian music
elements.
