Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
The song "Brazil" by Billy May and his Orchestra & Frank Sinatra talks about a nostalgic journey back to Brazil, where the memories of a passionate love affair are still vivid. The lyrics describe the night when the couple first met, beneath an amber moon, and how they whispered "someday soon" while clinging to each other. However, the morning after, the singer had to leave, and despite having a million things to say, he had to let go. Now, whenever the sky darkens and memories of their love come back, the singer knows he will return to Brazil, the place where his heart belongs.
The song has a melancholic tone, emphasizing the fact that the singer is far away from his beloved and how he longs to return to his former lover. The melody has a nostalgic and romantic feel, featuring a blend of Latin and jazz elements. The love story in the song is timeless, and the destination of Brazil adds to its exoticism.
