You Don’t Have to Know the Language

0 Plays

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
