Supposin' you need a vacation
Brazil is the place you should be;
So you can't understand what they're saying
And you can't read a sign that you see
But you don't have to know the language
With the moon in the sky and a boy in your arms and a look in his eye
You stop at the Copacabana
With Sugar Loaf Mountain in view;
So the words on a menu mean nothing
You can't ask a soul what to do
But you don't have to know the language
With the moon in the sky and a boy in your arms and a look in his eye
When he smiles your way
What more would you want anybody to say?
So you sigh, just sigh
You don't have to mention that phrase, "Aye-aye!"
Perhaps when you end your vacation
You'll bring back a bit of Brazil
So you can't understand what he's saying
You need an interpretеr still
But you don't have to know the language
With thе moon in the sky and a boy in your arms and a look in his eye
No, you don't have to know the language
If you don't want to say goodbye
When he smiles your way
What more would you want anybody to say?
So you sigh, just sigh
You don't have to mention that phrase, "Aye-aye!"
Perhaps when you end your vacation
You'll bring back a bit of Brazil
So you can't understand what he's saying
You need an interpreter still
But you don't have to know the language
With the moon in the sky and a boy in your arms and a look in his eye
No, you don't have to know the language
If you don't want to say goodbye
