LION AND HIS MERMAID

I thought leaving Copacabana:

I will arrive late in Ipanema,

In the setting of the sun, but no!

I arrived on time, Lion!

And finally

On Ipanema Beach

I could see

The Lion coming out of sea water

Smiling beautiful coming

Happy just for to hold me.

Ipanema! Ipanema!

Lion, your golden body

Looked like a poem.

Lion,hug me and kiss me,

Lion,hug me and kiss me!

In the sand of this beach

I am your mermaid!

In the sand of this beach

I am your mermaid!

Lion,hug me and kiss me,

Lion, kiss me and hug me

Here in the sand on this beach!

I am your mermaid,

So hold me and kiss me.

Come here, Panthera leo,

I want the honey of your lips!
Come here, Panthera leo,

I want the honey of your lips!

Lion going out of  sea water

Smiling beautiful coming

Just for  to hold me!

The sun is gone,

The night is coming

And  I'm thinking just about you,

Here in Rio de Janeiro

You for me is the whole world.

So hold me and kiss me,

Lion, kiss me and hug me,

I am your mermaid

In the sand on this beach!
