Is Ary Barroso's Aquarela do Brasil (otherwise known as just
plain Brazil) the best song penned to paper?
We here at this inane mag think so, and it's been
crooned, remixed, reshuffled, and reinterpreted by people as far afield as Frank Sinatra, S-Express, Little Nobody, Kate
Bush, Xavier Cugat, Toots Thielemans & Elis Regina, Dionne Warwick, Desi Arnaz, Joao Gilberto, the Three Tenors, etc.,
ad infinitum - not to mentioned used as the signature theme for Terry Gilliam's excellent movie 1985 celluloid romp ironically
also titled Brazil.
Here's a truly whacked-out version we found on youtube.com:

BRAZIL SONG LYRICS
Brazil, where hearts were entertaining June
We stood beneath
an amber moon
And softly murmured "Someday soon"
We
kissed
and clung together
Then, tomorrow was another
day
The morning found me miles away
With still a
million
things to say
Now, when twilight dims the sky
above
Recalling thrills of our love
There's one
thing I'm certain
of
Return I will to old Brazil
Then, tomorrow was another day
The morning found me
miles away
With still
a million things to say
Now,
when twilight dims the sky above
Recalling thrills of our
love
There's one thing
that I'm certain of
Return I will to old Brazil
That old Brazil
Man,
it's old in Brazil
Brazil, Brazil
