(One, two, three, four)

Brazil, where hearts were entertaining June
We stood beneath an amber moon
And softly whispered, "One day soon"
We kissed and clung together then

Tomorrow was another day
The morning found us miles away
With still a million things to say
And now, as twilight moves the sky above
Recalling thrills of our love
There's one thing that I'm certain of
Return, I will, to old Brazil

Brazil, where hearts were entertaining June
We stood beneath an amber moon
And softly whispered, "One day soon"
We kissed and clung together then

Tomorrow was another day
The morning found me miles away
With still a million things to say
And now as twilight moves the sky above
Recalling thrills of our love




There's one thing that I'm certain of
Return, I will, to old Brazil, Brazil

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Arcade Fire's song "Brazil" evoke a sense of nostalgia and longing for a romantic past.

Underneath an amber moon, the singer and their lover share an intimate moment, whispering promises of a future together. The act of kissing and clinging together symbolizes their deep connection and desire for each other.


However, as time passes, "tomorrow was another day" and reality sets in. The morning finds them physically separated, miles away from each other, but also emotionally distant. Despite being apart, the lyrics suggest that there are still countless unspoken things left to say. The mention of twilight moving the sky above signifies a sense of fading emotions and the longing to relive the excitement and thrill of their love. The repetition of the phrase "There's one thing that I'm certain of, return, I will, to old Brazil" highlights the singer's firm resolve to return to the passionate and romantic moments they shared in Brazil.


Overall, "Brazil" captures the essence of a wistful reminiscence of a love story experienced in a specific time and place, where the intensity of feelings and the desire to recapture those moments prevail.
