Music & Lyrics

Jobim

I love Latin music
I love those Latin tunes
I can't do without all those syncopated rhythms
And 'though I don't know what they're singing about
I still sing the lyrics with 'em
Is the music Cuban? That's all right.
Is it Puerto Rican? Hey, could be.
Might it be Brazilian? Yes, it might.
Does it make a difference? Not to me.
I don't distinguish 'cause hair-splitting is wrong
And to me, quite arbitrary
So I translated this sweet Portuguese song
With a Spanish dictionary.

And now the night has come
And all the stars are so lovely
They're lovely out tonight
And so are you

I would love to touch the moon
But it's so very far
I'm in love with you
Because you have a car

We're here with all our friends
Jesus, Pedro and Cindy
Each one of them so lovely in their own way, hey
Da da da da dad a
Then there's something about a guitar
You're such a lovely girl
Lovely, lovely, lovely

I used to have a brush, it had a dog on the handle
I left it in a bar, and now it's gone
Did you ever see a raccoon with a human face?
Cats are very smart, or maybe not

Be sure to check the date before you buy any yogurt
A lot of people died and that's a shame
Can you please explain to me
Why the fat man teases my corn?
I'm wearing new cologne
It's lovely, lovely, lovely...
