Carioca – Caetano Veloso – letras

Say, have you seen the carioca?It’s not a foxtrot or a polkaIt has a little bit of new rhythmA blue rhtthm that sighsIt has a meter that is trickyA bit of wicked wacky-wickyBut when you dance it with a new loveThere’s a true love in her eyesYou dream of a new CariocaIt’s theme is a kiss and a sighYou dream of a new cariocaWhen music and lights are gone and we’re saying goodbyeTwo heads together, they say are better than oneTwo heads together, that’s how the dance’s begunTwo arms around you and lips that sighI’m yours anda you’re mineWhile the carioca carries you awayWhile we carica till the break of dayNow that you’ve done the cariocaYou’ll never care to do the polkaAnd then you’ll realize the blue hula anda bamboola are throughTomorrow morning you »ll discoverYou’re just a carioca loverAnd when you dance it with a new loveThere’ll be true love just for youYou’ll dream of a new cariocaIts theme is a kiss and a sighYou’ll dream of a new cariocaWhen music and lights are gone and we’re saying goodbyeWhen music lights are gone and we’re saying goodbyeWhen music lights are gone and we’re saying goodbye
