Brasil Lyrics


I saw her standing there
Red fire in her hair
She knows I can't resist
The poison from her lips
I never wanted it, I tried to run from it
Temptation stares me down
She sings when she is sad
She laughs when she is mad
The lonely heart club cry
I hear them through the night
I never wanted it, I tried to run from it
Temptation wears me down
Heaven can wait
Heaven can wait for me now
Leave open the gate
Hell is the game I want now, I'm coming down
She leaves me wanting more

White flowers on the shore
She knows I can't resist
The poison from her lips
The poison from her lips
She knows I can't resist

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Son of the violeiro (Brazilian viola player), repentista (verse improviser), and harmonica player Severino Alves de Souza, Ataulfo Alves (Ataulfo Alves de Sousa - May 2,1909 Miraí/MG - April 20,1969 Rio de Janeiro) at age eight already was responding in verses to his father's desafios (cutting contests). Becoming an orphan at age ten, he worked in several jobs, moving to Rio in 1927. There he continued to work, frequenting rodas de samba in his leisure hours.
