Brazil
The Coasters (aka The Robins) Lyrics
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;
Now, when twilight dims the sky above
There's one thing I'm certain of
Return I will to old Brazil
The Coasters' song Brazil is a romantic ballad that takes the listener on a journey to a time when the world was simpler and love was innocent. The lyrics paint a picture of two lovers in Brazil, enjoying each other's company under an amber moon. The couple is deeply in love and whispers to each other about their dreams of being together someday. They kiss and embrace each other, knowing that tomorrow is another day. However, fate has other plans, and the next morning, the singer finds themselves miles away from their lover, with a million things still left unsaid.
Years later, when the singer looks back at their memories from Brazil, they long to return to the country of their lost love. Twilight brings back memories of the cherished moments and the certainty that they will return to Brazil one day.
Brazil is a heartfelt song that portrays the power of true love and the yearning that comes with it. The song's message resonates with anyone who has ever loved deeply and longed for someone or something that they cannot have.

This song and more importantly "Zing Went The Strings Of My Heart" were proof that the Coasters were capable of more than Leiber & Stoller"s good-humored, storytelling hits.

This song in my youth made me pay attention to the music and culture of Brasil. Came to adore bossa nova and the latin sound thanks to these magnificent, enduring Coasters. Still have the 45 (with the flip side, 'One Kiss Led To Another').
