Ooh, next time I see you, I’ll be singing in Brazil,
Misty land of music where the feet are never still,
And pretty senhoritas dressed up for the kill,
They’ll be glad that you’re coming to Brazil, yeah, me too,
So glad that you’re coming to Brazil…

Ooh, next thing you know you’re out here dancing in the streets,
Working with the people on that Boss-a-Nova beat,
And some dark-eyed lady brings you wine and a chicken wing,
In Brazil where the Carnival is king, yes,
Brazil where the Carnival is king, everbody’s singing, Ah la la Brazil,
Ah la la Brazil,
Ah la la Brazil,
Ah la la Brazil, Ooh, Rio de Janeiro is the kind of place for me,
Dancing in the moonlight, making love down by the sea,
From Copacabana to the Corcovado hill,
Everybody’s always singing in Brazil,
Yeah, everybody’s, ooh singing, in Brazil,
All together now… Ah la la Brazil…

Cancao du Brazil…
(Song of Brazil)
Tudo beum Brazil…
(All’s well in Brazil)
Ah la la Brazil…

Some people have an interest in the etymology behind words and phrases. You can take apart the lyrics to Brazil by Chris De Burgh in a number of ways. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Brazil" means the words set to the music of Brazil, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Chris De Burgh. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to Brazil and the lyrics to Brazil are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of Chris De Burgh who came here looking just for the lyrics to Brazil, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
