The Song of Brazil is sung by Minka and wild animals from the Tijuca Forest while she is exploring with Blythe and Emma. This is Minka's first solo song.
Composer Daniel Ingram commented about having fun "trying to make animal sounds groove to a Samba rhythm" and gave production credit to Caleb Chan and Trevor Hoffmann, "and a great mix by Paul Shatto".[1]
Lyrics[]
- Minka: Listen to that, Blythe! They're singing the song of Brazil! (gasp) That butterfly wants me to follow it!
- Blythe: Well, don't stray too far.
- [Minka]
- In the forest of Tijuca, all the creatures like to sing
- Making music as they go about their forest foraging
- Once the music takes you over, you just have to move your feet
- Everybody gathers 'round to make that samba music beat
- You hear the sound of Brazil
- From every tree and hill
- The creatures all join in
- And they just start singin'
- The crickets play the shaker with the monkeys on the drum
- Birds fly in from the city just to join in all the fun
- The frogs take up the rhythm as they croak along in time
- The mosquitoes join in, too
- [Mosquitoes]
- 'Cause we love to sing in rhyme
- [Minka and Chorus]
- We sing the song of Brazil
- And it will give you a thrill
- When you all dance to the beat
- In Rio's tropical heat
- Minka: Ladies and gentlemen, The Macaw Jazz Trio! Eee, eee, eee!
- [The Macaw Jazz Trio]
- At the beach cafe you hear a latin band
- Their words of love just floating in the breeze
- It sounds so familiar, but you don't understand
- That's 'cause they don't speak Spanish, they speak Portuguese
- [Minka and Chorus]
- We sing the song of Brazil
- Keep dancing, don't stand still
- Don't let your coffee spill
- You're gonna wanna refill
- We sing the song of Brazil
- From every tree and hill
- Show off your soccer skill
- As you sing the song of Brazil
