jim capaldi - 1890 lyrics

Loading...

there’s a crowd moving down the street
in the glare of a midsummer’s beat
the men beating on their drums
dancing the samba

there’s a girl of seventeen
playing rhythms on her tambourine
the heat is so strong
it’s already well past december

and in the strange and misty haze
i saw those old colonial days
of rio in the old carnival of 1890

there’s a man sleeping in the street
he’s unable to stand up on his feet
he’s drunk too much rum
and made too much love in the moonlight

the mulatta’s got a look in her eye
you can tell the way she’s moving her thighs
she’s lost in a trance and you know she’ll dance
till sunlight

and in the strange and misty haze
i saw those old colonial days
of rio in the old carnival of 1890
they were dancing in the street
dancing in the street
dancing in the street
