A balmy evening is gently falling
Exotic birds in the forest calling
I have to leave but instead I’m stalling
I don’t want to go away so soon from Brazil

Fishing lights on the bay like fireflies
Southern Cross in a starry night sky
Silky voices sing soft lullabies
I don’t want to go away so soon from Brazil

Rolling waves of the South Atlantic
Whisper on the sand, make me feel romantic
They drown out the noise of my life so frantic back home
Yellow moonlight glints and glimmers
On the wakes of some night time swimmers
Makes it painful for me to remember home
But everything would be so fine if I moved to Brazil
I think I’ll leave it all behind and move to Brazil

Ditch the house and the car and the cell phone
Tell the boss that I’m not coming home
Buy a fishing boat and a little place in the peaceful hills of Parana
Maybe I’d meet a dark haired lady
And when the evenings are slow and shady
We’ll stroll together hand in hand
Through the stands of fragrant eucalyptus trees

Balmy breezes become hypnotic
And Portuguese sounds so exotic
“Tudo bem? Todo bon! Que Deus abencao!”
Finally have some time for life if I moved to Brazil
Oh everything would be alright if I lived in Brazil


I thinking I’m liking it more already
Just thinking about it makes me heady
My will is strong and my aim is steady now
Finally have some time for life if I lived in Brazil
I think I’ll leave it all behind and move to Brazil
