You Don't Have To Know The Language

You Don't Have To Know The Language - Tex Beneke

Supposing you need a vacation

Brazil is the place you should be

So you can't understand

What they're saying

Or you can't read a sign that you see

But you don't have to know the language

With the moon in the sky

And the girl in your arms

And a look in her eyes

You stop at the Copacabana

With Sugar Loaf Mountain in view

But the words on the menu mean nothing

You can't ask a soul what to do

But you don't have to

Know the language

With the moon in the sky

And the girl in your arms

And a look in her eyes

When she smiles your way

What more would you want anyone to say

So you sigh just sigh

You don't have to mention

That Yankee phrase Ay ay

Perhaps when you end your vacation

You bring back a bit of Brazil

So you can't understand

What she's saying

We need an interpreter still

But you don't have

To know the language

With the moon in the sky

And a girl in your arms

And a look in her eye

Perhaps when you end your vacation

You bring back a bit of Brazil

So you can't understand what she's saying

You need an interpreter still

But you don't have to know the language

With the moon in the sky

And a girl in your arms

And a look in her eye

You don't have to know the language

If you don't want to say goodbye

Goodbye

Goodbye

Goodbye
