Only A Dream In Rio |
| More than a distant land |
| Over a shining sea |
| More than the streaming green |
| More than the shining eyes |
| Well they tell me it’s only a dream in Rio |
| Nothing could be as sweet as it seems |
| On this very first day down |
| They remind me «son, have you so soon forgotten? |
| Often as not it’s rotten inside |
| And the mask soon slips away» |
| Strange taste of the tropical fruit |
| Romantic language of the Portuguese |
| Melody on a wooden flute |
| Samba floating in the summer breeze |
| It’s alright you can stay asleep |
| You can close your eyes |
| You can trust the people of paradise |
| To call your keeper |
| And tender your goodbyes |
| Oh what a night, wonderful one in a million |
| Frozen fire, Brazilian stars |
| Oh holy Southern Cross |
| Later on take me way downtown in a tin can |
| I ain’t come down from the bandstand |
| I’m never thrown for such a loss when they say |
| Quando a nossa mae acordar |
| Andaremos ao sol |
| Quando a nossa mae acordar |
| Cantara pelo sertao |
| Quando a nossa mae acordar |
| Todos os filhos saberao |
| Todos os filhos saberao |
| E regozijarao |
| Caught in the rays of the rising sun |
| More on the run from the soldier’s gun |
| Shouting out loud from the angry crowd |
| The mild, the wild and the hungry child |
| I will tell you there’s more than a dream in Rio |
| I was there on the very day |
| And my heart came back alive |
| There was more |
| More than the singing voices |
| More than the upturned faces |
| More than the shining eye |
| More than the streaming green |
| More than the hidden hills |
| More than the concrete Christ |
| More than a distant land |
| Over a shining sea |
| More than a hungry child |
| More like another time |
| Born of a million years |
| More than a million years |
