There is so much to love about Brazil: the beaches, the culture, the food, the music, etc. But nothing tops the beautiful women. Being a long time fan of bossa nova and the genius of Antônio Carlos Jobim, I was inspired to delve into this genre myself. I chose the Portuguese language because of how gorgeous it sounds when sung.
LYRICS
Menina na praia
Sorriso iluminado
Sol brilha no céu
Beleza de lado a lado
Morena encantada
Olhar é um mar azul
Caminha com graça
Feitiço de norte a sul
Tão alta e tão linda
As meninas do Brasil
Tão doce e tão pura
Como o céu tão anil
Balanço no samba
Vem dançar com paixão
Coração bate forte
No ritmo da nação
No calor de janeiro
Ou no frio de São João
Essas meninas belas
Sempre roubam meu coração
Tão alta e tão linda
As meninas do Brasil
Tão doce e tão pura
Como o céu tão anil
Girl on the beach
Illuminated smile
Sun shines in the sky
Beauty from side to side
Enchanted brunette
Looks are like a blue sea
Walks with grace
Spell from north to south
So tall and so beautiful
The girls of Brazil
So sweet and so pure
Like the sky so indigo
Swinging in the samba
Come dance with passion
Heart beats strong
To the rhythm of the nation
In the heat of January
Or in the cold of São João
These beautiful girls
Always steal my heart
So tall and so beautiful
The girls of Brazil
So sweet and so pure
Like the sky so indigo
