Elaine Ferreira would like to dedicate the next number to Dr. Joseph Camara, who recently arrived from Madeira. And here is lovely Elaine to sing "Ilha da Madeira."

[Song begins]

Quando te deixei, Madeira
Eu trouxe como bagagem
Saudades prá vida inteira
E um beijo teu prá viagem.
Agora moro ao abrigo
Desta Lisboa encantada
Que quando sonho contigo
Parece cantar comigo
Esta canção magoada.
Minha Madeira querida
Tão pequenina e garrida
Cheia de luz e de cor
Ilha de encanto e beleza
Linda terra portuguesa
Por quem quis ser trovador.
Minha Madeira velhinha
és um ninho de andorinha
Vogando no mar sem fim
No meu cantar de saudade
Eu peço a Deus que te guarde
Inteirinha para mim.
