Rio de Janeiro blue
Mario Biondi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't believe your really gonna leave this town
everyone knows, I can't make a move with you
your turnin' my whole world, upside-down
and I get a feelin' that I've seen the last of you,
Rio De Janeior Blues
The salty air, your wind-blown hair, reflections of a dream
thoughts of you with who knows who,
Brazilian serenades, linger on
help me lose my soul, in your song
and I get a feelin', that I've seen that last of you,
Rio De Janeiro Blues
Rio De Janeiro Blues
Months go by, I wounder why, I'm left here on my own
could it be my destiny, to live my life alone
these dark and rainy days are turning cold
lonely sleepless nights, gettin' old, gettin old
and I get a feelin' that I've seen the last of you
Rio De Janeiro Blues
Rio De Janeiro Blues
Rio... Rio
The song "Rio de Janeiro Blue" by Mario Biondi is about heartbreak and the struggle of moving on. The opening lines of the song paint a vivid picture of the singer's emotions, as the clouds come creeping and he weeps over the departure of a loved one. He can't believe they are really leaving town, and it feels like his whole world is turned upside-down. The line "everyone knows, I can't make a move with you" suggests that the two were not compatible, and perhaps the relationship was doomed from the start.
The second verse describes the singer's memories of his time with the loved one, specifically in Rio de Janeiro. He remembers the salty air and her wind-blown hair, along with thoughts of her with other people. The mention of Brazilian serenades suggests that the city was a place of romance and seduction for the couple. But even as he tries to lose himself in the music and the memory of her, he knows deep down that he has seen the last of her.
The final verse depicts the aftermath of their breakup, with the singer wondering if he is destined to be alone. The dark and rainy days reflect his depression, and the lines "lonely sleepless nights, gettin' old, gettin' old" illustrate his desperation. Despite this, he still can't shake the feeling that he has seen the last of her and is left with the Rio de Janeiro blues.

Nice cover! Love it! Thanks for share it! El italiano Mario Biondi publicó en 2006 "Handful Of Soul" junto al High Five Quintet, era su debut y recogía doce temas tan buenos como esta versión del "Rio De Janeiro Blue" que Richard Torrance publicó por primera vez en su álbum "Bareback" de 1977 y que muchos conocimos en la voz de Randy Crawford en 1981, cuando la incluyo en su álbum "Secret Combination". Biondi, nacido en Catania, es hijo de cantante y de joven cantó en varios coros pequeños. #SmoothVocals
