Night and Day
Brasil '66 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You are the one
Only you beneath the moon
And under the sun
Whether near to me or far
It's no matter, darling,
Where you are
I think of you
Day and night
Why is it so
That this longing for you
Follows wherever I go
In the roarin' traffic's boom
In the silence of my lonely room
I think of you
Day and night
[Chorus]
Night and day
Under the hide of me
There's an oh such a hungry
Yearnin' burnin' inside of me
And its torment won't be through
'Til you let me spend my life
Making love to you
Day and night
Night and day
Night and day
You are one
Only you beneath the moon or under the sun
Whether near to me or far
It's no matter, baby, where you are
I think of you
Day and night
Night and day
Why is it so
That this longing for you
Follows wherever I go
In the roarin' traffic's boom
In the silence of my lonely room
I think of you
Day and night
[Chorus]
The lyrics of "Night and Day" by Brasil '66 express the pervasive longing and yearning the singer feels for someone they care deeply about. They emphasize the intensity of this feeling by stating that it follows them wherever they go, both day and night, whether in the middle of noisy traffic or in the quiet solitude of their own room.

The chorus expands on this theme with even greater urgency, declaring that there is an insatiable hunger and burning desire inside of the singer that will only be satisfied when they are able to express their love for the object of their affection. The lyrics suggest a sense of desperation and longing that is so intense that it almost takes on a life of its own, becoming a separate entity that lives inside the singer.
Overall, the lyrics of "Night and Day" paint a vivid portrait of the consuming intensity of desire and longing, expressed through romantic and evocative imagery that captures both the beauty and the pain of such intense emotion.

I was in high school when Brasil 66 was on the radio along with all the other great music that was around. I did not appreciate this fantastic sound then. but...now I love it!
@ronbruckman6081
Night and day, young age, old age..........it's always the right time to enjoy this very outstanding music.
Thanks Sergio and all the others!!!😊❤
@deboraheasterly6313
Love this song and always have. What has happened to music today. It is not the same and never will be.
@gazrgazr2394
Correct, all now seems computerised, enhanced, cheating, but you can not cheat on sheer talent which is sadly very scarce these days.

Idk man, there were probably tons of people who heard this music back then and thought the same thing you’re saying about modern music. The world changes and that’s great, there’s no limit to the styles to be explored.
@gazrgazr2394
@@michaelevans6216 Yes, but you have to agree the talent has dropped, especially when you hear some of this modern stuff live, that's if they dare do it live !😎

@@gazrgazr2394help. I'm looking for a particular version of the song that is the most upbeat and amazing to hear and I cannot remember the artist. It was definitely a man. The first time I heard it was on an Old Navy commercial for dog leashes
@michaelevans6216
@@gazrgazr2394 Yeah I guess thats true. I think recording in general has shifted the bar for music performance. and its way easier for less talented people to make music now. but there are still some super talented artists out there!
@nyneegardner6235
Every song that I hear from this incredible band and maestro of a bandleader is exquisite!!
