Many thanks to Griffin for finding this original. I mean, man, it's an impossible task, and you got it done. I couldn't even find the cover for this song! Can imagine how popular this Mara Bertuzzi was.
雖然同草蜢合唱的版比較近原版, 但我還是比較perfer Fever Version, 可能因為聽得比較多. :)
Here is the album cover.

Guess I shall now be named the anonymous cass-sally-shirley fan. :p
Wow... you are amazing, "cass-sally-shirley" fan! I have tried so hard to dig this and no way I could find the cover whatsoever.
So, is there any other female artist(s) you like that we shall add it onto your nickname? Hehe...
@anonymous Cass-Sally-Shirley fan, you were a bit faster (I was leaving comments on other posts, also ripped the duet version from my CD to be sent to own blogger)! Could we please at least know your first name or alias so we can address our "big thank you's" to, the next time?
But back then when I found the original (17-10-2009, http://favoritesinoriginal.blogspot.com/2008/07/
index-of-posts_07.html) I posted the links (to the info's + cover) already

Our blog-owner is just too lazy to check it, ;P Well, it's partly my bad/fault! Mara Bertuzzi's artist name is simply Mara! But I tend to include additional info's from that artist to separate from all other Mara's (I didn't got much google results with just Mara)!
The song was released on her first album or EP since it has only 6 songs!
1995 - album "Mara"
1 Dentro me
2 Maria Maria (ft. Milton Nascimento)
3 Fiori di carta
4 Eva Luna
5 Bailes da vida (ft. Milton Nascimento)
6 Anima
@Benny, thank you for the compliment! Mission Impossible = Mission Accomplished! It was the pain in the ass (sorry, for my vocabulary) to find the original! After many failed attempts I thought it was probably an original since the song writers (F. Musker/R. Darbyshire) were working closely with HK music business back then. But my favourite: Grasshopper gave me hope! At the chorus they were singing the backing (a-le-ba, now I know it was: Ay Eva). Which mostly could only be coming from the original lyrics (the HK lyricists weren't that inspirational/creative)! I'm glad I could help out (finding it/purchased the CD to share with you all)! I believe none of the Shirley's or Grasshopper's die-hard fans had heard or even know this world premiere post today!
Oops, almost forgot! LOVE this song (both English & Cantonese)! I prefer the duet version above solo (because of Grasshopper's participation)! But I start to appreciate the Fever Version more each time: Good Song! By the way, original was 4:33 & duet only 4:03! Do you need a GL-edit? ;P I'll have a look.
LYRICS:
Eva Luna sews her costume in the night
The city of lights waits for the carnival tomorrow
All year long the people struggle to survive
Living for one moment
When every dream can come alive
Favella � is just another word for Shanty town
Ay Eva � can you live on a moment forever
Chorus
Ay Eva Luna
Are you a secret jungle princess
Daughter of the goddess
Love child of the moon
Ay Eva Luna
Do you dream about your father
Sitting silent as the water
By the esmerald lagoon
Aye � Eva Luna � Aye
Ay Eva
In the shadows stands a figure dressed in black
A spirit in a mask silently watching every movement
Arm in arm they dance � the ragged and the chic
Lost among a half a million other dancers in the street
Belleza � Eva is beautiful for all to see
Ay Eva � unaware of the presence of danger
Chorus
Ay Eva Luna
Are you a secret jungle princess
Daughter of the goddess
Love child of the moon
Ay Eva Luna
Do you dream about your father
Sitting silent as the water
By the esmerald lagoon
Aye � Eva Luna � Aye
Ay Eva
Belleza � Eva is beautiful for all to see
Ay Eva...
Ay Eva Luna
The archangel blows his trumpet
Little sister of the sunset
Do the saints watch over you
Ay Eva Luna
Do you pray to the Madonna
Or the spirit of the forest
Is it all the same to you
Ay Eva Luna
Are you a secret jungle princess
Daughter of the goddess
Love child of the moon
Ay Eva Luna
Do you dream about your father
Sitting silent as the water
By the esmerald lagoon
Aye � Eva Luna � Aye
Ay Eva
Sending you the GL Edit in the style of the duet version (2:30-3:00 was edited out in this version)!
> benny
Heh. I'm a anita-sally-sandy-prudence-faye-shirley-sammi-cass-amanda fan. But not die-hard enough to own a complete discography for every single one of them. :)
> griffin
Didn't bother leaving any initials previously since I thought it was more like a "hit-n-run" visit. But I kept coming back. :p
Hello zyong, aka anita-sally-sandy-prudence-faye-shirley-sammi-cass-amanda fan, well, just by your nickname, I can tell we share a lot of common interest already. :)
Thanks again Griffin, have added your edit.
@zyong, finally we can thank you for your contributed info's! They saved us lots of trouble in finding the originals!
Sorry that I had to quote you as Anonymous "Cass & Sally"-fan! There were many Anonymous' here! Or were they all you ;D
Well, you're not the only one! We're all drawn to this blog ;P At first I just came here listening to some covers+originals! I started leaving comments & contributing (original I've already known)! Then I was active in finding originals for this blog, contributing songs from my CD's, leaving lots of comments & now even making Edits of songs exclusively for this blog! I must be CRAZY ;)
zyong, since you're a fan of Anita Mui/Sally Yeh/Sandy Lam/Prudence Lau (or Liu)/Faye Wong/Shirley Kwan/Sammi Cheng/Cass Phang/Amanda Lee-fan (a mouthful, I would say Female Artists-Fan in short, hahaha). Perhaps you have some of their CD's to share with us the better version-songs we're still looking for! For example:
李蕙敏 - 不再獨行
李蕙敏 - This Is Love
from her CD: Debut! We would be very happy if you have them! ;P Many thanks in advance!
> benny
Heh. Probably why I kept coming back because my favourites kept getting featured.
> griffin
Guess what... I found this blog while searching for the mp3 from her first & second solo album. Prudence Liew & Amanda Lee are the 2 female singers which I'm seriously lacking to complete their discography.
Heh. I tried to help out on Anita & Sammi previously but they have too many japanese covers which is out of my league. As for the rest of my favourites the list are more or less complete. :)
@zyong,
mmm, too bad, thought you might share Amanda' songs from her CD with us:
李蕙敏 - 不再獨行
李蕙敏 - This Is Love
Thank you for your attempt of helping on Anita & Sammi originals hunting! Yeah, Japanese isn't my specialty neither! We'll have to rely on our expert: 铅笔小丁 :P
