[Verse 1: David Brown]
Hills facing east
The slums have a view of the sea
Towards Africa gaze tenderly
The rains last for weeks
First of the year
We'll meet in Flamengo for tea
We'll smoke cigarettes by the sea
Sandman and me
[Chorus: David Brown & Andrea Ferraz]
Menina dengosa, não chore amor
À vida e saudade, beleza e dor
La da Palestrina, morre o cantor
[Verse 2: David Brown]
Word on the street
Jorge Ben's gonna sing New Year's Eve
In Rio the rains last for weeks
The rains last for weeks
[Chorus: David Brown & Andrea Ferraz]
Menina dengosa, não chore amor
À vida e saudade, beleza e dor
La da Palestrina, morre o cantor
