Ganggajang - Carioca Girl lyrics

rate me

(M.Callaghan /R.James)

From up in the mountains you can see the beaches lying in the sun

Copacobana to Leblon

And daily you go there knowing you will see a vision when she comes

Walking straight out of a Jobim song

You can't help but stop and stare - olive skin and raven hair

With a voice like angels wings she casts her spell oh yeah

She's a Carioca girl, walks like an angel, talks like an angel

Carioca girl, she'll take your breath away

She's a Carioca girl, walks like an angel

Slowly the night falls,

As Corcovado looks down on the scene below

And music spills from the street cafés

Gilberto Gil playing -

The songs they seem to resonate with life and love

In the Brazillian way

And you see her dancing there,

how she seems to float on air

With a rhythm divine she can leave life behind,

In the way that she moves transcends time. You can tell

She's a Carioca girl, walks like an angel, talks like an angel

Carioca girl, she takes your breath away

Carioca girl, Carioca girl yeah yeah

And you see her dancing there,

How she seems to float on air

She's a Carioca girl, walks like an angel, talks like an angel

Carioca girl, oh yeah, she takes your breath away...

Carioca girl Carioca Girl Carioca girl Carioca Girl

You see the way she moves you see those smiling eyes

You see the sound of Rio, you see it in her eyes

You hear the sound of Rio, in her eyes
