Lyrics written by Tom Jobim
Chansong
When I arrived in New York
The immigration officer asked me
Where have you been Mr. Bim
Where have you been, Joe
You're been abroad for too long Mr. Bim
Haven't you been?
I got to the hotel exhausted to my room
Having to attend a cocktail
Late that afternoon
And there my boss Nesuhi,
An old friend of Jobim's, said:
May I introduce you to Gloria?
By all means
Buy all jeans
I've never been in Paris for the summer
I've never drank a Scotch with this bouquet
My life is such a mess let's have a Brahma
I'm happy that you called,
I really feel touché
Oh, it's been a long, a very long time
Since a Brazilian has been in Paris com você
You look so cute there wearing my pijamas
You look so sexy with my pince-nez
Let's hi-jack this Concord to the Bahamas
Come on dress up my lave
Let's go to the ballet
Oh, it's been a long, a very long time
Since a Brazilian has danced with you
Le pas-de-deux.Top
Two Kites
And by the way have you forgotten to say
Where you live, what's your name, what you do
In case you're free
We can go you and me to the zoo
And may I ask you what you to do with your days,
With your nights, with your time, with your life
Suppose I dare to ask what are you doing tonight
If you're free I can lend you these wings for a flight
Haven't we met?
I can't remember but yet I could swear I have seen you before
But if you're scared of my boat
I can take you ashore
Or would you rather catch the wind
That blows steady and pulls to the high open sea
You are the force that irresistible might
That creates in me the power of flight
We're kites in the sky
We can fly, we can fly
We can fly, we can fly
I get a flash of your thigh like a spy in the sky
I see thy heavenly thighs in the skies, in the skies
There where the sea meets the sky
You and me, you and I
Give me a moment just to finish this brew to undo the voodoo
That kept you away
For so long
For so long
For so long
La la la la ...
Suppose I give you this rose and you give me a kiss
Suppose we take off our clothes
And we plunge in the sea
And just dismiss with a kiss la petite burgeoisie
Haven't we met?
I can't remember but yet I could swear I have seen you before
But if you're scared of my boat
I can take you ashore
Or would you rather catch the wind
That blows steady and pulls to the high open sea
You are the force that irresistible might
That creates in me the power of flight
We're kites in the sky
We can fly, we can fly
We can fly, we can fly
I see thy heavenly thighs
In the skies, in the skies
There where the sea meets the sky
You and me you and I
La la la la ...
For so long
For so long
