Samba De Orfeu

(album: Olé - 1964)

The sun is hot, the nights are long.
love's the inspiration to write this song.
With feelings high, I kiss the sky
and ask the stars to put their sparkle in your eyes.

The sun is hot, but passion's not
I kiss the breeze and call the wind to pass my love on.
I need you near, but you're not here.
And so I trust my love and passion to the skies.

I dance for you, Samba de Orfeu
with rhythm blue, I dance for you.

A samba beat, let two hearts meet.
And let the beat, rise up high into the dark sky.
I think of you, I dream of you
And now I pass my love and passion to the skies

I dance for you samba de Orfeu
with rhythm blue, I dance for you.

The sun is hot, the nights are long.
love's the inspiration to write this song.
With feelings high, I kiss the sky
and ask the stars to put their sparkle in your eyes.

Passion in your eyes
into your eyes
into your eyes ...
