Supposin' you need a vacationBrazil is the place you should be;So you can't understand what they're sayingAnd you can't read a sign that you seeBut you don't have to know the languageWith the moon in the sky and a boy in your arms and a look in his eyeYou stop at the CopacabanaWith Sugar Loaf Mountain in view;So the words on a menu mean nothingYou can't ask a soul what to doBut you don't have to know the languageWith the moon in the sky and a boy in your arms and a look in his eyeWhen he smiles your wayWhat more would you want anybody to say?So you sigh, just sighYou don't have to mention that phrase, "Aye-aye!"Perhaps when you end your vacationYou'll bring back a bit of BrazilSo you can't understand what he's sayingYou need an interpretеr stillBut you don't have to know the languageWith thе moon in the sky and a boy in your arms and a look in his eyeNo, you don't have to know the languageIf you don't want to say goodbyeWhen he smiles your wayWhat more would you want anybody to say?So you sigh, just sighYou don't have to mention that phrase, "Aye-aye!"Perhaps when you end your vacationYou'll bring back a bit of BrazilSo you can't understand what he's sayingYou need an interpreter stillBut you don't have to know the languageWith the moon in the sky and a boy in your arms and a look in his eyeNo, you don't have to know the languageIf you don't want to say goodbye
