In Brazil (My Heart Burns In The Samba)
by Jonathan Kraft
Beyond what you see across the plain
In the place where the sun has it’s reign
You can never feel alone again
But the carnival goes on in Brazil
This agony of longing provides no thrill
And your eyes… they haunt me still
Please don’t say it’s over now
It’s never too late. I solemnly vow.
Let’s dance the samba and be in love
In the Carnival, we’re in heaven above
Reflection of waves I see in your eyes
But you don’t see, though I wear no disguise
The burning heart behind all of my tries
My plea: just return and you’ll easily see
How I embrace you, holding carefully
So forever we’ll be, you and me.
Please don’t say it’s over now
It’s never too late. I solemnly vow.
Let’s dance the samba and be in love
In the Carnival, we’re in heaven above
Why is my stomach left here churning
Why, when love is gone, is my heart still burning?
