[Intro]
[Verse 1]
The praia and the sun, the forró and the night
Garota brasileira dancing into the daylight
Just swing e rebolado, don t know how but I try to
Seu jeitinho your carinho s something that I d fly to
[Pre-chorus]
Quer saber de onde sou? Brasileira, meu amor
Brasil!
Quer saber de onde sou? Brasileira, meu amor
Brasil!
[Chorus]
My tambourine in the rhythm of samba, oh in the heat of December
oh, Brazil is where I ll go, I think I got a case of Brazilian soul
I ll always remember, oh in the heat of December
When we let our hearts grow close
[Solo]

[Verse 2]
The swing and the samba, todo mundo bamba
The alma brasileira, drinking coffee with the capoeira
From New York to Pará, Atlanta to Paraná
São Paulo, Tocantins, Miami and the in-between
[Pre-chorus]
Quer saber de onde sou? Brasileira, meu amor
Brasil!
Quer saber de onde sou? Brasileira, meu amor
Brasil!
[Chorus]
My tambourine in the rhythm of samba, oh in the heat of December
oh, Brazil is where I ll go, I think I got a case of Brazilian soul
I ll always remember, oh in the heat of December
When we let our hearts grow close
[Chorus]
My tambourine in the rhythm of samba, oh in the heat of December
oh, Brazil is where I ll go, I think I got a case of Brazilian soul
I ll always remember, oh in the heat of December
When we let our hearts grow close
[Outro]
