Braziliana 1920

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 27 Feb 2004

When the shades of night begin to fall
and magic music fills the air,
I seem to hear somebody call,
and I know somebody's waiting still,
beside the dreamy Amazon,
down in sunny Brazil,
Oh

My Braziliana maiden wants me,
My Braziliana maiden haunts me
mid the perfume of the flowers where
I spent my happy hours
underneath the sheltering palms.
Drifting in the moonlight on the river,
when the stars in heaven start to shine,
then you'll be mine
Half my life I know I'd gladly give,
to be with you how happy I would live
Braziliana mine.

Oh I hear them strumming near and far
sweet melodies are haunting me,
the tingling of the old guitar,
and a heart that's beating fond and true,
it seems to say come back to me,
for I'm longing for you,

Oh

My Braziliana maiden wants me,
My Braziliana maiden haunts me
mid the perfume of the flowers where
I spent my happy hours
underneath the sheltering palms.
Drifting in the moonlight on the river,
when the stars in heaven start to shine,
then you'll be mine
Half my life I know I'd gladly give,
to be with you how happy I would live
Braziliana mine.
