song of the jet

Tom Jobim

How my heart is singing
I see Rio de Janeiro
My lonely longing days are ending
Rio, my love, there by the sea
Rio, my love, waiting for me
See the cable cars
That sway above the bay of Guanabara
Tiny sailboats far below dance the samba as they go
Shinning Rio there you lie
City of sand and sea and sky
Mountains of green rising so high
Four minutes more we ll be there at the airport of Galeão
Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro
Statue of the saviour with open arms above the yellow sea shore
Suggar loaf in majesty climbing from the silver sea
Darkeyed girls who smile at me
City of love and mysteries
Fasten seat belts
No smoking please
Now we re descending and everything rushing
And now the wheels
Touch the ground
