- Verse:
- Brazil, the Brazil that
I knew,
Where I wandered with you,
Lives in my imagination.
Where the songs are passionate,
And a smile has flash in it, And a kiss has art in it,
For you put your heart in it,
And so I dream of old,
-
- Chorus:
- Brazil, where hearts were
entertaining June.
We stood beneath an amber moon,
And softly murmured "Someday soon."
We kissed,
- And clung together,
- Then, tomorrow was another
day.
The morning found me miles away,
With still a million things to say.
- Now,
- When twilight dims the skies
above,
Recalling thrills of our love,
There's one thing I'm certain of,
Return, I will,
- To old Brazil.
