Madeira ( /məˈdɪərə/ mə-DEER-ə or /məˈdɛərə/ mə-DAIR-ə; Portuguese: [mɐˈðejɾɐ] or [mɐˈðɐjɾɐ]) is a Portuguese archipelago that lies between 32°22.3′N 16°16.5′W / 32.3717°N 16.275°W / 32.3717; -16.275 and 33°7.8′N 17°16.65′W / 33.13°N 17.2775°W / 33.13; -17.2775, just under 400 km north of Tenerife, Canary Islands, in the north Atlantic Ocean and an outermost region of the European Union. The archipelago comprises the major part of one of the two Autonomous regions of Portugal (the other being the Azores located to the northwest), that includes the islands of Madeira, Porto Santo, and the Desertas, administered together with the separate archipelago of the Savage Islands.
Madeira was discovered by Portuguese sailors in the service of Infante D. Henrique (Henry the Navigator) in 1419, and settled after 1420. The archipelago is considered to be the first territorial discovery of the exploratory period of the Portuguese Age of Discovery.
Today, it is a popular year-round resort, being visited every year by about one million tourists, noted for its Madeira wine, flowers, landscapes and embroidery artisans, as well as for its annual New Year celebrations that feature the largest fireworks show in the world, as officially recognized by the Guinness World Records, in 2006. The main harbour in Funchal is the leading Portuguese port in cruise liner dockings, being an important stopover for commercial and trans-Atlantic passenger cruises between Europe, the Caribbean and North America.

Plot: As he shows a considerably higher interest in night life and vaudeville chorus girls than in textbooks, Gerardo Roquer is sent by his father from Madrid to the University of Santiago de Compostela, with the purpose of having him center in studying. There, Gerardo ends living in the "Casa de la Troya" boarding house, where he makes good friends in other students, and falls in love with the beautiful Carmiña Castro. But this love is not approved by her uncle and aunt, who prefer the foppish Octavio (with whom they have a debt) for her.

Genres: Comedy,Grune Insel umspult von den Fluten des Atlantiks
Tiefe Schluchten lassen den Atem stocken
Hangende Garten zaubern die Farben des Paradieses
Dein Duft ist starker als betorendes Parfum
Wenn es Atlantis gab, in den Fangen des Ozeans
Bist du das was davon ubrig blieb
Das Wasser das von den Felsen perlt
Wie Diamanten mein Haupt benetzt
Stiller Bach spule meine Note fort
Schmaler Weg, moosverziert, der meine Fusse tragt
Fuhre mich an den Ort der Vergangenheit
Zur Blute Deines Reiches, in den Schoss der Mutter
Wie ein Gott will ich sein, Teil deiner selbst
Nackt will ich mich walzen in deinem roten Lehm
Die Augen schliessen, wilden Phantasien ergeben
Dich umarmen, wie die heissen Lenden einer schonen Frau
In wilden Fieberkrampfen, erblicke ich die Ursprunge
Die Zeit verliert sich, wenn Sonne mich zwischen Blattwerk beruhrt
Bin betort von der Kraft deines Anblickes
Ein alter Baum von der Hand des Windes ermuntert
flustert leise mir zu, mit erhabener Weisheit
Tausend Jahre erscheinen wie ein Tag in seinem Schatten
Ist schnell mein Freund geworden, im hellen Grunde
